If you ask Yann LeCun, Silicon Valley has a groupthink problem. Everyone, he declared in a recent interview, has been “LLM-pilled.”On January 21, San Francisco–based startup Logical Intelligence appointed LeCun to its board. Building on a theory conceived by LeCun two decades prior, the startup claims to have developed a different form of AI, better equipped to learn, reason, and self-correct. Logical Intelligence has developed what’s known as an energy-based reasoning model (EBM). Yann is outspoken about the potential limitations of LLMs and which model architectures are most likely to bump AI research forward.
