Responding to rumors, Yann LeCun clarifies he left Meta 'leadership' in 2018 — holding a Senior VP title but working as an individual contributor from 2018 through December 2025. He also pushes back on Google speculation: Koray Kavukcuoglu (his NYU PhD student) has run Gemini since day one, and Demis's focus has always been AI for science, Isomorphic, and AGI via world models.
