Advanced Machine Intelligence, the startup founded by former Meta Platforms chief AI scientist Yann LeCun, said on Tuesday it raised $1.03 billion based on a $3.50 billion pre-money valuation, as it seeks to commercialize artificial intelligence systems built around reasoning, planning and “world models.” The financing positions the company as a test of LeCun’s belief that today’s large language models fall short of human-level reasoning and autonomy.Meanwhile, Meta has been intensifying its push into LLM development. In June 2025, the company reorganized its AI efforts under a division called Meta Superintelligence Labs led by former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang. Is this meant to rival Meta AI directly ?
