AMI Labs

A Paris world-model company founded by Yann LeCun after leaving Meta, built around his JEPA approach.

AMI Labs is a company founded by Turing Award winner Yann LeCun after leaving Meta, established in Paris in December 2025, with additional offices in New York, Montreal, and Singapore. LeCun serves as executive chairman; CEO Alexandre LeBrun was previously CEO of the medical-AI company Nabla, and became Nabla's chairman and chief AI scientist to take the role, with Nabla also becoming AMI's first partner; Saining Xie serves as chief scientist. The company builds world models around LeCun's proposed JEPA (Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture): predicting what happens next in an abstract representation space, rather than generating output token by token the way large language models do. In March 2026 it closed a $1.03 billion seed round at a $3.5 billion pre-money valuation, with investors including NVIDIA, Samsung, and Toyota. Target industries include robotics, manufacturing, wearables, and healthcare; as of July 2026 it had no public product yet, saying it would release papers and code.
