Yann LeCun's AMI Labs raised $1.03 billion at a $3.5 billion pre-money valuation — one of the largest seed rounds in history. Co-led by Cathay Innovation, Greycroft, Hiro Capital, and HV Capital, with participation from Bezos Expeditions and NVIDIA. LeCun is explicitly betting against the LLM paradigm, building world models using JEPA (Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture) targeting robotics, industrial automation, wearables, and healthcare. HN reacted with 197 points and heated debate about whether this represents a viable alternative path or the peak of the AI funding bubble. TechCrunch | HN
