Warp is the agentic development environment born out of the terminal. Download Warp for free today at → https://go.warp.dev/bycloudythoa For the longest time, Yann LeCun has been pioneering this idea called JEPA. With its rapid advancements as of recent, it has become a spotlight in the research field, especially for world modeling. So in today's video, I'll be covering the main idea of JEPA, how it works, and what makes it promising. my latest project: Intuitive AI Academy We just wrote a new piece on RL & RLHF! https://intuitiveai.academy/ limited time code "EARLY" for 40% off yearly plan (less than 60 redemptions left!)
