The specifics:
Wang, who was promoted to oversee Meta's Superintelligence Labs following the $14 billion Scale AI transaction, was referred to by LeCun as "young" and lacking in research experience.
Additionally, he acknowledged that the Llama 4 goals were "fudged a little bit," and Zuckerberg apparently lost faith in the GenAI organization as a whole.
According to LeCun, Meta's recent AI hires are "completely LLM-pilled," and he believes LLMs are a "dead end" to superintelligence.
Lecun disclosed that he will serve as the "executive chair" of his new AMI business, with Alex LeBrun, the founder of the French AI healthcare startup Nabla, serving as CEO.

Since this summer's reorganization, there has been conflict between Meta's longtime employees and recent hires, and LeCun has always been vocal about it. However, these are significant claims to make in public. It has to be seen if Zuck, Alexandr Wang, and company's new course proves him correct or makes him appear out of touch.
