Yann LeCun's AMI Labs raises $1.03 billion to build world models that understand reality

Turing Award winner Yann LeCun's new venture AMI Labs has raised $1.03 billion at a $3.5 billion valuation to develop world models—AI systems that learn from physical reality rather than just language. The Paris-based startup marks Europe's largest seed round and represents a direct challenge to the large language model approach dominating today's AI landscape.

Harvard Study Shows AI Can Predict 71% of Fund Manager Trades, Raising Questions About Fees

A Harvard-led study reveals that AI can predict 71% of mutual fund trading decisions, suggesting much of active management follows detectable patterns. The research, analyzing data from 1990 to 2023, found that the unpredictable 29% of trades is where genuine alpha lives. The findings challenge the justification for high active-management fees and highlight how automation could reshape the $54 trillion asset management industry.
