AMI Labs

AMI Labs (Advanced Machine Intelligence Labs) was founded by Yann LeCun, Meta's Chief AI Scientist and one of the fathers of deep learning, to build next-generation AI systems based on world models — AI that understands the physical and causal structure of the world rather than just predicting the next token. The company raised an extraordinary $1.03B seed round at approximately $1.3B valuation in March 2026, one of the largest seed rounds in history, attracting investors who believe world models represent the path to AGI.
