AMI Labs/JEPA World Models

AMI Labs announced a $1.03B seed round at a $3.5B post-money valuation, backed by investors including Bezos Expeditions, NVIDIA, Samsung, and major European venture firms. The funding validates LeCun's bet that world models—systems that predict how the physical world evolves—will be more useful than language models for industrial and robotics applications.
