AMI Labs (Advanced Machine Intelligence) is the new research lab co-founded by Turing Award winner Yann LeCun after he left Meta, alongside Wit.ai and Nabla founder Alexandre Lebrun as CEO. The lab raised $1.03 billion in seed funding at a $3.5 billion valuation in March 2026 to pursue world-model architectures — a research bet, championed by LeCun, that next-generation AI must model and predict the physical world rather than scale autoregressive text models.
