Ever since the announcement of his departure from Meta surfaced, Yann LeCun has found himself inundated with a flurry of activities. According to reports, the new venture that Yann LeCun is embarking on is named the Advanced Machine Intelligence Lab. This lab will be helmed by Alex Lebrun, who is the co-founder and CEO of the French medical AI startup Nabla.

When questioned about the motivations behind his decision to leave, Yann LeCun openly acknowledged that remaining at Meta had placed him in an untenable and irreconcilable predicament. Furthermore, his groundbreaking research accomplishments in the realms of world models and Autonomous Machine Intelligence (AMI) have unveiled a multitude of potential application scenarios. These include, but are not limited to, aerospace engines and the heavy - industry sector. However, these particular domains do not align with Meta's current strategic focus, which stands as another significant factor contributing to his departure.
