Yann LeCun, Meta's chief AI scientist and often referred to as the "godfather of AI," has announced his departure from the company. He plans to found his own startup, focusing on developing "world models" as an alternative to large language models (LLMs). LeCun's exit comes after Meta's $15 billion deal with Alexandr Wang, with some sources suggesting that Mark Zuckerberg's patience had run out with LeCun's ambitious and sometimes hyperbolic approach.
