This is dangerous for Europe. We should act super fast & together. Our best chance is all hands on board to accelerate @MistralAI, the only European company that has models on nearly the same level than the US and Chinese leaders. All European national sovereign funds should immediately put 1B EUR each into Mistral and make sure the company always stays European (not just French). And as soon as reasonably possible, we should start using those models day to day for work, first in governments and state companies, then elsewhere. The only way to win is to stay independent and own the tech ourselves.
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

The US move to restrict access to Anthropic’s most advanced #AI models to foreign nationals is reverberating across Europe, fuelling warnings in France that an AI arms race is under way. Europe minister @benjaminhaddad urges Europeans to stop being naive and favour home-grown companies to build strategic autonomy. @JLMelenchon warns France must not become a U.S. tech “colony”, while @J_Bardella says France should throw more weight behind national champion Mistral AI. @DarioAmodei will be in Evian for the #G7, should be an interesting one 👀

It seems we are now entering a new phase of the rise of inequality in the US. It's not just wealth and billionaires — it's a broader acceleration. Here's who benefited from economic growth in 2025, according to the latest estimates available on realtimeinequality.org

Gabriel Attal is officially running for the French presidency, opening a battle with Édouard Philippe for control of the centre ahead of 2027. The bigger question: can either of them still reach the second round in today’s fractured France? reuters.com/world/former-pre…

We published our extended story about the remarks by @MistralAI CEO @arthurmensch to the French National Assembly. This has been getting quite a bit of attention, and justifiably so. But I've found it striking for 2 reasons: First, the content. Second, for Mensch himself.

One striking shift at #Eurovision in recent years: English seems to be fading. About 60% of this year’s entries are in national languages, according to this study, up from just 24% in 2016 (the year of the Brexit referendum. Coincidence?)
🎤🇪🇺 27 ans après l'abandon de l'obligation de chanter dans une langue nationale, celles-ci font leur retour à l'Eurovision, aux dépens de l'anglais. En 2026, 60% des candidats chantent dans leur langue, contre 24% en 2016.

Péter Magyar gave the press a tour of propaganda minister Antal Rogán's newly renovated, and now abandoned headquarters in Buda Castle. Just look at this luxury mansion, complete with a cigar room for prominent guests. All this in one of the poorest countries of the EU.

A splash of red at the Élysée: Giorgia Meloni pulls up in an Alfa Romeo, breaking the usual procession of black and navy sedans. Not something you see every day covering the palace.

Pourquoi la France ne fait-elle pas partie, à ce stade, des cinq pays européens qui proposent de taxer les surprofits des entreprises énergétiques au niveau de l’UE ?
