Today on the AI Daily Brief, NLW covers two stories that may signal a major shift in the AI landscape: Yann LeCun’s departure from Meta and Dr. Fei-Fei Li’s new argument that spatial intelligence and world models—not just LLMs—will define the next era of AI, exploring what world models actually are, why some researchers think they’re essential for robotics, science, and creativity, and how this connects to Meta’s internal reorg. Plus in the headlines: Eleven Labs’ celebrity voice marketplace, SoftBank’s Nvidia liquidation, AMD’s push to challenge Nvidia, Blue Owl’s $3B Stargate investment, and the surprising surge in Meta AI traffic.
