New AI Paradigm Large Terrestrial Models Emerge, Challenging Current LLMs

Davos - Meta's AI chief, Yann LeCun, predicts a new AI paradigm within 3-5 years, surpassing current Large Language Models (LLMs) due to limitations in understanding the physical world, memory, reasoning, and planning. A Large Terrestrial Model (LTM), a comprehensive data source of Earth's features, activities, and behaviors, is emerging. Andrew Turner says the LTM will be the new primary data source for how we live, think, work and socialize on the Earth. Space Aye's CEO, Chris Newlands, believes the LTM, powered by real-time satellite imagery and IoT data, will revolutionize AI training and accuracy. DeepSeek, China's open-source AI, rivaling OpenAI, has disrupted the market, raising investor concerns about hype versus future potential.
