Yann LeCun, the renowned AI researcher and former Meta chief scientist, has joined forces with a San Francisco-based startup called Logical Intelligence in its pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI). This departure marks LeCun's stance against the conventional approach to achieving AGI through large language models (LLMs), which he believes are flawed due to their reliance on guessing games.
Logical Intelligence is working on an energy-based reasoning model (EBM) that absorbs a set of parameters and completes tasks within those confines, aiming to eliminate mistakes and reduce computational requirements. The EBM's approach differs from LLMs' in its ability to self-correct and adapt in real-time, much like climbing Everest.
In contrast to LLMs, which focus on predicting the next word in a sequence, EBMs tackle complex tasks independently of language. These models can learn from sparse data, extrapolate knowledge, and optimize energy distribution without relying on natural language interfaces.
The startup plans to deploy its EBM technology in various industries such as the energy sector, pharmacology, and manufacturing. Logical Intelligence is committed to scaling up its model and working with partners across different domains, while also educating people about the diversity of AI beyond text-based approaches.
While AMI Labs, LeCun's Paris-based startup, focuses on world models that recognize physical dimensions, anticipate outcomes, and interact with robots in 3D space, Logical Intelligence aims to contribute to the development of an AGI ecosystem through its EBM technology. The company is seeking funding to further scale its model and explore various use cases.
As AI research evolves, it's essential to acknowledge the existence of different forms of intelligence beyond LLMs. By exploring alternative architectures like EBMs, we can move closer to developing AI systems that are more adaptable, self-aware, and aligned with human values.
