Yann LeCun doubles down: LLMs have nothing to do with intelligence
mikeflache · x · 2026-10-09
A widely shared video clip shows Meta's chief AI scientist and Turing Award winner Yann LeCun restating his long-held position: "LLMs have nothing to do with intelligence." No new argument accompanies the clip.
LeCun has long criticized the autoregressive LLM paradigm and advocates alternative architectures like world models as the path to real intelligence — a recurring flashpoint in the debate over whether LLMs lead to AGI.
