Yann LeCun’s new startup, AMI Labs, has quickly become one of the most closely watched AI ventures of 2026 after raising an enormous $1.03 billion seed round at a $3.5 billion pre-money valuation. Based in Paris, the company, whose full name is Advanced Machine Intelligence, is pursuing a very different direction from the large language model boom that has defined much of the current AI industry. Rather than concentrating on systems trained mainly on text, AMI Labs wants to b

At CES 2026, Nvidia made a decisive move to position itself as the foundational platform for generalist robotics, unveiling a full stack of open AI models, simulation tools, and edge hardware designed to power robots that can reason, plan, and act across diverse real-world environments.  Much like Android became the default operating system for smartphones, Nvidia aims to provide the underlying intelligence layer for robotics as artificial intelligence moves out of the cloud

Nvidia is accelerating its push into what it calls physical AI by unveiling new open AI models and developer tools designed to advance autonomous driving and robotics research.  The centerpiece of this launch is Alpamayo R1, an open reasoning vision language model that the company describes as the first action-oriented model tailored specifically for autonomous driving. By combining visual perception with language-based reasoning, Alpamayo R1 allows vehicles to interpret the

Jeff Bezos is stepping back into a hands-on leadership role for the first time since leaving Amazon in 2021, taking on the position of co-CEO at a new artificial intelligence startup called Project Prometheus. The venture, which has already secured an extraordinary $6.2 billion in funding, is shaping up to be one of the most heavily financed early-stage startups ever launched ( Investing.com ; Forbes; TechBuzz). Bezos is contributing part of the investment himself, signaling
