And essentially, they're trying to understand how the world works rather than just predict a word in a model, which honestly, this is definitely the future of AI.

It's a much more complex approach.

There's a bunch of other top labs and startups like Google DeepMind and Fifi Lee's startup WorldLabs that are also building these world models.

And I think like if we're comparing it to that, AMI's fundraising ambitions do look pretty bold.

Like these are pretty big.

When WorldLabs launched, Lee raised $230 million at a $1 billion valuation.

for a number of reasons. The first is that there is a number of characteristics of intelligent behavior. For example, the capacity to understand the world, understand the physical world, the ability to remember and retrieve things, persistent memory, the ability to reason, and the ability to plan. Those are four essential characteristics of intelligent systems or entities, humans, animals.

LLMs can do none of those, or they can only do them in a very primitive way. They don't really understand the physical world. They don't really have persistent memory. They can't really reason, and they certainly can't plan. If you expect the system to become intelligent just without having the possibility of doing those things, you're making a mistake.
