San Francisco startup Logical Intelligence, with Yann LeCun on its board, has introduced Kona 1.0, an energy‑based reasoning model that operates on a single GPU and solves tasks such as sudoku far faster than leading large language models. The company argues that its approach reduces compute needs, eliminates hallucinations, and can be applied to critical domains like energy grid management, drug discovery, and chip manufacturing. Logical Intelligence plans to work alongside LeCun’s Paris‑based AMI Labs, which focuses on world‑model AI, while keeping its model closed‑source for safety reasons.
