Meta’s Yann LeCun is not going anywhere after FAANG exit, targets $3.5bn valuation with new AI startup

Yann LeCun is leaving Meta, but he is far from stepping away from artificial intelligence. Meta’s outgoing chief artificial intelligence scientist is already in early talks to raise 500 million euros ($586 million) for a new AI startup that could value the company at around 3 billion euros ($3.5 billion) even before its official launch, according to a report by the Financial Times.
