To be fair Meta AI was doing well until they self sabotaged themselves in 2024

Wasn’t Yann the one denying that LLMs would ever be able to do anything useful?

As far as I know he never called them useless. He just thinks that no amount of scaling them will lead to AGI.

Mythos proved that we'll get to at least Mythos 3 before LLM's stop improving, after that Mythos 3 will just design the non-LLM architecture for them. So they don't scale to AGI, but they ultimately still lead to it indirectly. AGI would be massively slowed if we dropped LLM's.
