Yann LeCun, a leading figure in artificial intelligence and Meta Platforms' chief AI scientist, is exploring the possibility of leaving the company to start his own venture. Sources suggest he has been in talks with colleagues and potential investors about a startup that would focus on developing "world models," a different approach compared to the large language models Meta currently prioritizes in its pursuit of superintelligence. These discussions come at a time when LeCun has expressed skepticism about the potential of large language models to achieve true superintelligence. While there is interest in his plans, they remain tentative; the situation could change, and he might decide to stay with Meta. The Financial Times first reported on his potential departure, but neither LeCun nor Meta has provided official comments on the matter.
