Yann LeCun advocates for world models instead of LLMs, a different type of AI that accurately reflects the real world, and is a strong proponent of open source AI.

In an exclusive interview with MIT Technology Review, AI pioneer Yann LeCun discusses his new venture, AMI Labs, a Paris-based company focused on world models rather than large language models. LeCun criticizes the industry's obsession with LLMs, advocating for open-source AI and diverse value systems. He believes that world models, which accurately reflect the dynamics of the real world, are essential for creating truly intelligent systems. AMI Labs aims to provide a third path in AI development, neither American nor Chinese, and is attracting talent from top AI companies.
