LeCun Backs Inference-Time Optimization for Goal-Driven AI
AI researcher Will DePue questioned the lack of explicit gradient mechanisms during model inference, drawing strong agreement from Yann LeCun. LeCun emphasized that inference-time optimization via gradient-based planning is fundamental to energy-based models (EBM) and goal-driven AI architectures (ODAI).
