YADAY is proud to announce its participation in AMI – Advanced Machine Intelligence Labs’ $1B seed round, the largest AI seed round ever completed in Europe to date, valuing AMI Labs at $3.5B.
Focused on world models, AMI Labs’ vision is clear: for AI to move beyond screens and into the physical world, it must be able to reason about how situations evolve, understanding the relationship between actions and outcomes rather than simply producing outputs.
Congratulations to the entire founding team at AMI Labs, which brings together an exceptional combination of scientific vision and execution capability. The lab was created by Yann LeCun, a leading figure in AI, Turing Award laureate, and former Chief AI Scientist at Meta. It is led by CEO Alex LeBrun, former Co-Founder and CEO of Nabla, alongside COO Laurent Solly, former VP Europe at Meta. The leadership team also includes Saining Xie, Chief Science Officer, Pascale Fung, Chief Research & Innovation Officer, and Michael Rabbat, VP of World Models.
Yaday is delighted to be a strategic partner of AMI Labs and looks forward to working alongside the team to turn this research into real-world applications and, ultimately, real-world value.
This investment also marks an important milestone for Yaday Capital, as AMI Labs becomes our first official investment. It fully reflects our mission: to back and support founders building the next generation of Applied AI and foundational intelligent systems.
