What it does
Advanced Machine Intelligence Labs is LeCun's vehicle for the JEPA program he ran at Meta: world models that predict in an abstract latent space instead of generating pixels or tokens. It raised a $1.03B seed at a $3.5B pre-money valuation in March 2026, the largest seed round in Europe, and has no product yet.
