· Technology · TechCrunch
Leading world model companies, including Yann LeCun's AMI Labs and Fei-Fei Li's World Labs, are keeping product plans and commercial timelines tightly under wraps.

Alex de Vigan, CEO of data supplier Physicl, noted that suppliers are left in the dark about how their data is utilised by these AI developers.
