Logical Intelligence, a start-up that claims to have made a breakthrough in developing a more advanced AI model, has appointed Yann LeCun to its board as it seeks funding at a $1bn-plus valuation.
The six-month-old Silicon Valley-based firm on Wednesday unveiled a new “energy based” reasoning model called Kona, which it says can solve a variety of problems with greater accuracy and less power than popular large language models such as OpenAI’s GPT-5 and Google’s Gemini.
Eve Bodnia, Logical Intelligence’s founder and a quantum physicist, told the FT that the high accuracy of its mathematically-grounded system made it suitable for industries where errors are critical, such as advanced manufacturing, robotics and energy infrastructure.
