While the US is cutting off access to its most advanced AI models, Mistral, the European AI champion, is raising €3bn - near doubling its valuation to €20bn in well under a year and only 3 months after it raised €830m to expand its data centre infrastructure. The company seeks to secure 200MW of capacity across Europe by the end of 2027.

Which is a very good development.

GLM-5.2 is Fully Open, Frontier Intelligence Belongs to Everyone Today, the sudden restriction of certain frontier models is deeply regrettable. At a time when access to frontier models is abruptly cut off for non-technical reasons, we are even more convinced of one thing: science should be global. The path to AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) must never be enclosed by high walls. We have always believed that AGI should be the cornerstone for all of humanity to collaboratively explore the boundaries of intelligence and solve complex challenges, rather than a privilege monopolized by a few rules and subject to revocation at any moment. In the face of external blockades and restrictions, our attitude is one of radical openness. Frontier intelligence must remain open-source, accessible, and buildable, serving every dedicated developer. GLM-5.2 is Zhipu's most capable open-source model to date. It not only supports a truly usable 1M context window but also maintains a continuous lead in the independent completion of long-horizon tasks, providing solid foundational support for building complex agent applications. It also continues to be our main engine for creating the strongest domestic coding model. Tonight at 5:21—at this special moment—GLM-5.2 will officially be available to all GLM Coding Plan users (including Lite / Pro / Max). The API will also go live next week. A step closer to frontier intelligence for everyone. The future of AI is open, and it is for the people. ModelKey: GLM-5.2

To all technical students and engineers in Europe. The US export control on LLMs is the first taste of what will become the new norm. Many people are calling for "radical measures" and that we need the equivalent of a Manhattan Project to create change in Europe. But this is not how change will happen. Change will never come top-down from a government. The state and EU can fund, but they cannot found it. That part is on us. You are the only ones who can change this. You are among the few people on this continent who actually know how to build foundational technology - LLMs, robotic AI, actuators from scratch, chip infrastructure, rocket engines, organoids. ETH, EPFL, TUM, École Polytechnique, KTH, Imperial and dozens more produce absurd talent every single year. And almost all of it talks itself out of building. We finish our degrees surrounded by such an incredible average that we're sure someone is always better at [your idea] - so who are we to start? I've seen so many friends at ETH think they need to "get more experience first" and take a job at Nvidia or Google and never do anything interesting again. Technology-driven companies aren't founded by the most qualified person. They're willed into existence by people who see what others do not and refuse to stop. The person who's "better than you" almost never does it. And as for experience, nothing will teach you how to build the thing like, well, just trying to build the thing. Our education is a chance most of the world will never have. There are people in Europe who have to worry about getting a job. We get to worry about finding our dream job. We're able to make bets that not many people can make or afford. It's nothing anybody expects you to do, but if you want a life filled with purpose, this is a unique kind of responsibility you can choose to step up to. So if you actually want to do something ambitious, how about changing a continent? If you really want change, you cannot wait for others. You are one of the few people who can create it. It starts with you.

❌russian propaganda has distorted a US intelligence report on biological laboratories in Ukraine. The pretext for this manipulation was a US National Intelligence publication regarding facilities supported under the Cooperative Threat Reduction Programme.

The modern US has no allies. It has clients and it has rivals. Clients will get deceived, betrayed and extorted while rivals will be treated with respect. _Any_ exposure to the US is a liability. Divest, derisk, decouple.

This post led me down a bit of a rabbit hole and I found out that Europe absolutely dominates the global shipping industry. 4 out of the 5 largest shipping companies are European, supplying more than 50% of global cargo capacity.

Tommy is with Errol Musk in Moscow. At a time when russia is waging war to destabilise Europe, any individual going to russia to be "doing things right" as Errol says, is a traitor to the UK, openly siding with a russia. Traitor Tommy reveals his true flag.

Das Problem bei FCAS ist speziell die Firma Dassault, mit anderen französischen Firmen geht es gut. FCAS ist nicht gleichbedeutend mit „europäischer Verteidigung“, es gibt viele andere Projekte in europäischen Kooperationen und wird viele andere gute Projekte geben.
