Thomas Wolf @thomwolf.bsky.social · 27/09/2025⚠️This proposal is at the finish line but has high risks of being diluted and rendered useless by national governments. 🚨We have 3 days to save it and make it clear that we need the full package ➡️ This weekend you should take a minute to go fill the questionnaire: ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...lnkd.inLinkedInThis link will take you to a page that’s not on LinkedIn 1121
Thomas Wolf @thomwolf.bsky.social · 27/09/2025🦄This is exactly what ambitious founders need to start and scale and catch up with the rest of the world: - A single new pan-European legal entity - A single central EU-level registry - Standardized investment documents - Standardized EU-wide stock options - Local taxes & employment 150
Thomas Wolf @thomwolf.bsky.social · 27/09/2025EU–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. You can help👇 44713
Thomas Wolf @thomwolf.bsky.social · 17/09/2025Reachy-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. 1231

Thomas Wolf @thomwolf.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Once again it's party-time for the AI community which just discovered a whole new land of possibilities for building smarter AI models, and distillation in smaller models is one of the most exciting of these new promises. [2/2] 0280
Thomas Wolf @thomwolf.bsky.social · 06/02/2025From 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.

Thomas Wolf @thomwolf.bsky.social · 27/01/2025Every time you declare open-source AI dead another team rise up like a Whac-A-Mole. Intelligence will be commoditized!
