I am excited to share that I am joining @amilabs as Director of Research, Paris, working with @ylecun and an exceptional founding team.
Further progress in machine intelligence will require not only scaling foundation models and large-scale engineering, but also new ideas and breakthroughs.
This is what makes AmiLabs such a unique and exciting place to build. Its focus on world modeling — systems that can learn richer representations of the real world, reason, plan, and learn from interaction — is a long-term research direction I am deeply excited about.
I am particularly looking forward to working with extraordinary co-founders @sainingxie, @lxbrun, @michaelrabbat, @pascalefung, @mavenlin, @laurentsolly, and the amazingly talented AmiLabs team, to helping build the research organization and to the journey ahead.
