   Tian Keyu's stealth AI lab raises ~$30M at $200M valuation, drawing criticism

   According to Bloomberg, a roughly 10-person AI lab with no product and no public name has raised nearly $30 million at a $200 million post-money valuation, backed by 5Y Capital and IDG Capital, and led by founder Tian Keyu, an early-20s Peking University PhD student. Tian is first author of the NeurIPS 2024 best paper (VAR) and was the subject of ByteDance's alleged "model poisoning" incident: a first-instance court ordered him to pay 500,000 yuan and return all internship salary while rejecting ByteDance's 8 million yuan tort claim, and ByteDance has appealed with the second trial still pending. 36Kr's commentary argues that, with strong AI projects heavily oversubscribed, investors who "close their eyes" are effectively pricing controversy-driven attention as an asset.

   LeCun's AMI open-sources H-JEPA, a hierarchical world model for visual planning

   AMI (Advanced Machine Intelligence), the world-model startup chaired by Yann LeCun, released a paper with NYU, INRIA Paris and Brown University describing H-JEPA: multiple JEPA modules stacked so each layer predicts states at its own timescale, with a high level setting a coarse plan and lower levels refining predicted intermediate states into executable actions. The paper reports 73% success for a three-layer model versus 18% for a single-layer model on the Visual AntMaze simulated maze task, with better results at lower planning compute on several tasks; code and pretrained weights were released. The report also says AMI previously raised $1.03B at a $3.5B pre-money valuation, while its website still shows mainly research direction and hiring rather than a public product.
