Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI) is an artificial intelligence research company founded by Yann LeCun that focuses on building new self-supervised learning systems known as Joint Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPA). Unlike traditional large language models that predict the next word, JEPA is designed to understand and reason about the physical world through multimodal sensor data, enabling planning and decision-making. The company plans to translate this core technology into products for industrial process control, automation, wearable devices, robotics, and healthcare, where reliability and safety are paramount. AMI maintains its headquarters in Paris with additional offices in Singapore, New York City, and Montreal. Although still pre-revenue, the firm’s substantial seed financing positions it to invest heavily in research talent and compute infrastructure. The $3.50 billion pre-money valuation reflects investor confidence in the commercial potential of its foundational AI approach.
