Yann LeCun launches AMI Labs to build more flexible AI beyond current LLMs
By
Ben Morris
Summary
Yann LeCun, a leading AI researcher who spent a decade as chief AI scientist at Meta, left in 2025 to found Advanced Machine Intelligence Labs (AMI Labs). His startup aims to develop more flexible AI systems that go beyond current large language models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. LeCun argues these systems are fundamentally limited and cannot handle real-world physical tasks, such as household robotics. He advocates for a new approach to AI that can better understand the physical world, noting that current AI lacks the basic physical understanding of even a rat.
