[The latest warning of "AI Godfather": Musk's xAI has "failed" the AI industry or ushered in the "foam explosion"]
Gold Finance reported that on June 18, according to CNBC, Yann LeCun, known as the "godfather of AI", publicly denounced the "failure" of Musk's xAI, and warned that the entire AI industry would face the risk of "foam explosion" if it did not cut costs and improve pricing as soon as possible.
LeCun, currently serving as the founder of AMI Labs, bluntly stated that the core founding team of xAI has left in large numbers, and Musk is now finding it extremely difficult to recruit top AI talents. xAI will not be able to compete with OpenAI and Anthropic in the cutting-edge AI field. At the same time, he pointed out that the operating costs of AI services fell far slower than expected. At present, major laboratories are actually subsidizing users with investors' funds. This model is unsustainable.
LeCun's statement has once again raised doubts in the market about the reasonableness of the valuations of top AI companies, and poured cold water on the current investment enthusiasm in the AI industry. AMI Labs, founded by himself, just completed a $1 billion financing in March this year, with a pre financing valuation of $3.5 billion, focusing on what he believes represents the next stage of AI research in the field of "world models".
