Yann LeCun Warns LLMs Limit AI Progress

Yann LeCun, a Turing Award-winning AI pioneer, left Meta in November and founded Advanced Machine Intelligence Labs to pursue planning-focused AI beyond large language models. In interviews he argues LLMs like those behind ChatGPT and Meta's Llama 4 cannot plan or reach human-level intelligence, and he urges continued open-source collaboration to avoid losing ground to Chinese developers.
