- Yann LeCun, Meta's Chief AI Scientist, is reportedly leaving to start his own AI startup.
- LeCun is in early talks with investors, but no official details about the new company's focus have been released.
- His departure follows frustration with Meta's internal publication rules and restructuring, which affected the FAIR research group.
- LeCun has distanced himself from Meta's Llama models and criticized the company's political alignment.
- He plans to challenge the dominance of large language models (LLMs) with his Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA), focusing on reasoning and planning.
