For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

The own goal of the US restricting chip exports or potential future regulations is a crazy opportunity for Europe.
Probably I'm naive but ideally we'd de-regulate.
Europe needs to stop being afraid of the future.
Anthropic is doubling its spending on the midterm elections to $40 million, ramping up the conflict between warring factions of Silicon Valley over how to regulate AI https://t.co/MYqxqAtv2h
@GergelyOrosz I give Fable/Sol a measurable target and make it spawn cheaper agents for code. Literally tell it to act autonomously and provide reports of progress along the way including decisions made and an overview of what was implemented so I can review it / approve
It’s for unencrypted communications. People should always assume that communications that aren’t end to end encrypted (Instagram, SMS, telegram, email) are available for companies or governments to see.
The mechanism to approve this though 🤨
🇪🇺 “Chat control” has essentially passed through the European Parliament.
Only 314 MEPs voted to reject it, the absolute majority needed was 364 votes for.
Here is how each group voted:
Chat Control has been passed, even though a majority voted against.
This is because @EPPGroup used an urgent procedure that would require an absolute majority to reject it.
What a disgusting way of politics. Europeans will remember, and vote the EPP out in the next election.
Germany's Chancellor Merz:
We can no longer accept the extraordinarily high levels of sick leave in our companies.
We are abolishing sick leave by telephone and introducing the requirement to submit a medical certificate from the very first day of illness.
We know this is a tough decision. But we can no longer afford this competitive disadvantage caused by prolonged absences from work.
@blwiertz either lack of capital or culture, I've worked with VCs in europe who are super ambitious and optimistic, but maybe the scale of capital here simply doesn't get close to the US.
2031
The European AI labs have raised a tiny fraction of what OpenAI and Anthropic have raised, or the Chinese startups, or even MS and Google’s capex.
I used fable for technical topics and if that’s the watered down version of Mythos, then the US has already ran away with it.
We need to start investing heavily in new architectures and infrastructure.
Most of Europe has not yet absorbed what AI is about to do to us. The few who have are not saying it loudly enough.
We wrote Europe 2031: a five-year scenario of the continent's slide into irrelevance, how AI is driving it, and what can still be done to change course.
