Europe provides the AI research, but the capital comes from elsewhere. Investors in Yann LeCun’s new startup include Jeff Bezos, Eric Schmidt, Nvidia, Samsung and Toyota. European talent + global capital ≠ a European AI ecosystem. #EuropeanAI #TechSovereignty #VentureCapital

World model instead of LLM: Yann LeCun's startup receives 890 million euros

The startup AMI Labs, founded by Yann LeCun, has raised around $1 billion. It is developing AI world models intended to understand the real world.

Das Kapital ist größtenteils nicht europäisch.
Wer tatsächlich investiert:
Jeff Bezos (USA)
Eric Schmidt (USA)
Nvidia (USA)
Samsung (Korea)
Toyota (Japan)

Das Startup ist organisatorisch europäisch, aber finanziell global.
Der Fall zeigt ein strukturelles Problem Europas: starke KI-Forschung, aber schwache Kapital- und Skalierungsstrukturen.
Europäische Forschung + internationales Kapital. Kein europäisches KI-Ökosystem.

Europe’s competitiveness will depend on linking its foundation models with industrial applicability, governance standards, and sectoral integration. SOOFI: ~100B parameter, reasoning model and agentic applications. #SovereignAI #EuropeanAI #FoundationModels

SOOFI Launches: Europe’s Path Towards Its Own AI Language Models - L3S Research Center

With SOOFI (Sovereign Open Source Foundation Models), one of the most ambitious initiatives to strengthen European AI sovereignty is now underway. The project aims to develop an open AI language model with around 100 billion parameters that meets European values and regulatory requirements. Six leading research institutions are involved – including the L3S Research Center.

L3S Research Center - Trustworthy AI & Digital Transformation
Europas Wettbewerbsfähigkeit hängt künftig davon ab, eigene Foundation-Modelle mit industrieller Anwendbarkeit, Governance-Standards und sektoraler Integration zu verbinden.
Mit SOOFI startet eine der ambitioniertesten europäischen Initiativen für souveräne Open-Source-Foundation-Modelle – geplant ist ein Sprachmodell mit rund 100 Mrd. Parametern, ergänzt durch ein spezialisiertes Reasoning-Modell und agentische Anwendungen.

Is there any initiative to pool the various initiatives across European academia and public research to come up with a common #ecosystem of #europeandata and #LocalLLMs ?

Europe’s AI strategy is hitting a wall – missing foundation models and compute power. A new report calls on Germany to spearhead a coalition that balances GDPR‑driven privacy with world‑class AI development. Can Berlin fill the gap? #AIRegulation #EuropeanAI #GDPR #GermanAI
