Summary
Yann LeCun argues that LLMs lack world models, making them unreliable for building agentic systems because they cannot predict the consequences of their actions.

Yann LeCun says you cannot build a reliable agentic system without a world model
LLMs don’t have world models. They can’t predict the consequences of their actions before taking them
“they just act, and whatever happens next is someone else’s problem”
Without that, it’s not https://t.co/MrKBydofR1

A research paper proposes agentic automata learning to evaluate whether LLM agents can infer hidden world models through interaction, finding that performance drops sharply as task complexity increases and that reasoning models outperform non-reasoning ones but still struggle.
Why We Need World Models for AGI: Where LLMs Fail and How World Models May Outperform
This paper argues that large language models struggle with causal reasoning and long-horizon planning due to a mismatch between sequence prediction and reasoning over latent environment dynamics, and introduces the Latent Dynamics Inference perspective along with the Flux environment to study these limitations.

Yann LeCun argues that large language models lack true intelligence because they do not understand the physical world; he advocates for developing 'world models' that learn causality and enable planning for real-world applications.
