EU–INC is the single best thing Europe could do to catch-up in the AI race A simple unified pan-European startup structure, with modern employee ownership and simple access to capital, able to tap into Europe’s full talent pool. ‼️ but it’s at high risk of not seeing the light of day.

Reachy-Mini update🚨 Good: quality up++, sound/elec better than alpha. First tiny batches ship late Sep. Less good: scaling to thousands units (vs. 100s planned) taking longer than expected Still on track to ship first 3000 pre-orders before Xmas🎄(Lite & Wireless), most shipping early Dec.

From an open-research point of view, maybe the greatest thing about DeepSeek–R1 is how its RL training technique appears so straightforward/simple in comparison to the cumbersome approaches we were starting to think necessary for reasoning like Process Reward Models or Monte Carlo Tree Search.
