Logical Intelligence and Yann LeCun: End of the LLM Era?

On January 21, 2026, startup Logical Intelligence emerged from stealth mode, unveiling the Kona model. The main sensation is the appointment of Yann LeCun, Meta's Chief AI Scientist, as Chair of the Scientific Advisory Board. Kona is built not on transformer architecture, but on the principle of "energy-based reasoning."

Developers claim Kona lacks the main flaw of LLMs—hallucinations—as it does not "guess" the next word but optimizes the logical compatibility of facts. The support of LeCun, a long-time critic of GPT-like systems, makes this project a prime contender for a technological revolution in the Post-Transformer era.
