I want to say a final thing about my Fable first reaction: I dedicated my life to programming and I'll use every innovation in the field, also to extract value and bring it to the local inference world, to Redis, and so forth. But:
BREAKING: PGA Tour announces welcome back party for LIV players tonight on the 9th green at 9pm. Players have also been advised to dress nice for the occasion.
Although there is a lot of debate about just how much compute you really need to build domestically, one area that there is a lot of consensus on is that greater data centre capacity is needed to run workloads for public sector applications.
As model capability increases through the emergence of reasoning models, this underscores the need to have inference regions in country. But you'd be surprised at how few countries actually have this capacity currently.
For example, no currently running UK-based data centre runs reasoning models commercially, AWS London isn't even a Bedrock destination for Claude. Everything routes to Ireland, Frankfurt, or Sweden. Nscale Loughton (coming online in 2027) is the first realistic domestic option.
Sweden is currently pretty well placed, infrastructure wise, to deploy reasoning models in the public sector. it's the only place in Europe where you can run OpenAI's reasoning models (o3, GPT-5) today, via Azure Sweden Central. It also has the cheapest energy and Mistral just announced a billion-dollar Swedish data centre push.
I back Keir Starmer.
Those calling for him to go need to think about what comes next.
Three PMs in three months nearly broke this country.
Another leadership crisis means another decade of lost growth, another lurch from crisis to crisis.
Stay, @Keir_Starmer.
The alternatives are far, far worse for Britain.
Do hard things. It took just 50 (hardworking and awesome) people to build the first independently developed civilian aircraft to break the sound barrier. @boomsupersonic [776] did that.
