As many of you were interested in the technical details of the model, here is a followup thread to go more into technical details about VLA-JEPA. 1. Architecture 2. Training 3. Recipe for the demo 4.
Earlier today, New York University announced the creation of its new Earth Systems Institute—a multidisciplinary hub that will deploy AI and computational tools to better predict environmental changes
Striking paper from Wharton. The big conclusion: AI must increase productivity 2.7x -- and quickly -- or tech companies risk bankruptcy with all that entails for the economy. For context: this is how
Russell Vought proposed replacing peer review with political criteria for NIH science grants, a change that would fundamentally compromise the scientific merit-based evaluation process. The proposal w
David Sarnoff (1891-1971) rose from Russian Jewish immigrant office boy to president/chairman of RCA. He drove commercial radio, founded NBC, and heavily funded early electronic TV development. Simila

This is an actual page on the White House web site. It reads like something written about a third world dictator. So embarrassing. I have not seen any branch of the federal government sink this low in
This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention. The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, b
You have to read this. Trump demolished the East Wing of the White House and replaced it with a private ballroom funded by corporate donors. Now we know what they got for it. More than half of the pub
I want to offer some unsolicited advice to computer vision researchers jumping into robotics. Don't focus too much on VLMs, VLAs etc. That's fine, but the real action is at the sensorimotor level. Mos
Political appointees vetting science funding? Trump is doing to science what the Right accused previous administrations of doing. But in previous administrations, there was no political control of res
Some billionaires (or their foundations) do fund certain areas of basic research. Examples: Simons Foundation, Moore Foundation, Sloan Foundation, Keck Foundation, Schmidt Sciences, and several others
To be clear: there should not be a president of AI (let alone me 😅). Which is pretty much one point I make in the video. This reminder is about the content of the video, which is 3 years old, but ever
Trump’s budget director Russ Vought is the most dangerous person you’ve never heard of. And he just proposed turning every federal grant into a loyalty test. His plan would make funding for cancer res
how does the brain build and track an internal state of the world from (possibly incomplete and noisy) visual observations? i believe visual state tracking will be the grand challenge for vision in th
Yann LeCun's post suggests a perceived double standard in how political rules or standards are applied differently to Republicans versus Democrats. The statement implies inconsistent enforcement or tr
Yann LeCun discusses a point from a Ted Chiang piece about the lack of claims regarding consciousness in recent AI systems like AlphaFold, Sora, and Midjourney, suggesting skepticism about attributing
AI will become our interface to the world. It will sit higher in the stack than the OS. It will collapse current SaaS layers, chat, communications, apps, app creation, into a single new kind of interf
Big progress vs cancer, folks. The kind of event curves from randomized trials that we've not seen before for a couple of the most deadly cancers. Congrats to the oncology research community for getti
Yann LeCun criticized a claim that Trump is the most pro-innovation president by pointing out that proposed cuts to research budgets would contradict genuine support for innovation. The post engages w

Let me get this straight. Howard Lutnick, Trump’s Commerce Secretary, got caught lying about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Democrats grilled him about it and finally got him to agree to testi
LLMs learn by predicting tokens. World models (JEPA, data2vec) learn by predicting their own abstractions. Which needs more data? For data with hidden hierarchy, we prove the gap is exponential. https
Trump claims to have mastered the “Art of the Deal,” but he has just given us a master class in negotiating incompetence. I explain why the Iranians have the upper hand after his disastrous war of cho
Yann LeCun comments on the 'Magnificent 7' tech companies (likely referring to the largest AI and tech stocks like Apple, Microsoft, Google, etc.), suggesting that one of these prominent companies doe
Timeline of the Iran War: 🔸2015: JCPOA agreed to. Iran gives up most of its enriched uranium, leaving it with a limited amount enriched to under 4%. 🔸2016-2018: Iran is complying with the agreement. 🔸
Trump’s “little excursion to Iran” is 'universally perceived as a defeat. Almost regardless of the outcome – most likely a return to the…status quo – the war looks ill-conceived, a monument to confuse

Woah. A profound shift in American science is coming. Every federal research grant could soon require sign-off from a political appointee. Scientific progress depends on funding decisions grounded in
