🚨 De Belastingdienst gaat alles wat met BTW te maken heeft aan de Amerikanen overlaten en als ik zeg alles, dan bedoel ik alles! Servers, software, onderhoud en de VS krijgt ook toegang tot de andere servers van De Belastingdienst en zelf geen toegang. Lees hier 👉🏻 www.barbarakathmann.nl/btw-amerika/

It also takes a lot of energy to be a good human, but still you really should try.

Canadian startup Taalas shows hardwiring Llama-8B weights into custom chip brings 50x inference speed vs GPU at 10x less energy consumed. Early stage, but very interesting. www.forbes.com/sites/karlfr...

Important work as AI safety publications decline in hype cycle. This one went a bit under the radar in the press cycle

OpenClaw for killer drones… What could possibly go wrong?

Europe has a lot of talent! Just look at the Olympics.

It takes local champions that act to build digital sovereignty. That’s why Zeta Alpha is teaming up with OEDIV, part of the Dr. Oetker Group, to deliver Sovereign AI and to securely connect companies’ internal knowledge with locally run AI models. 🧵 1/6 Reach out via lnkd.in/dktJM9W to learn more.

Claude: For each example I can do a web search and then make a LLM call with the results... Me: Why an LLM call? Can't you just figure it out yourself? Claude: You're right, I am the LLM!

The pace of AI progress in China is extremely fast. Alibaba just dropped Qwen3.5. An open source VLM model competitive with the latest proprietary models. Superb efficiency and GPU footprint, 200+ languages, top reasoning, coding & multimodal tasks. qwen.ai/blog?id=qwen...

Zeta Alpha launches custom AI agents built for knowledge-intensive enterprise teams. Easily create, share, schedule and manage your own AI agents that get real work done.

It had become inevitable, after the MSL drama. Yann LeCun is leaving Meta. Rumours are that he is considering launching a startup focusing on World Models (and JEPA?). Looking forward to see him push for more open science and open source. Best of luck, Yann! techcrunch.com/2025/11/11/m...

For enterprises and organizations deploying AI apps in production, AI Safety is no longer optional. And by AI Safety we don't mean some abstract "AI risk", but the practical policies, controls, and engineering that keep systems secure, compliant, and trustworthy. 👉 www.zeta-alpha.com/post/enterpr...

Great landing in San Francisco yesterday: fresh off the plane, I plugged in to the @zeta-alpha.bsky.social office on Mission and 3rd and hit the ground running. We are ready to roll in the Bay Area (see below).

In the AI hardware lottery, @google has a great ticket: it’s TPUs mean it can scale out AI compute without paying the Nvidia tax. www.marketwatch.com/story/google...

How to automatically evaluate and optimize multi-agent setups for deep research? Excited to share that this week @abcamara.com and I will be giving two talks in Amsterdam on one of our favorite R&D topics. - August 27th: @opensearch.org Meetup Amsterdam - August 29th: AI Dev Event Amsterdam #AIDev

AI agents are only as useful as the tools they can reliably access, and the latest release of our Agents SDK makes it easy to connect to MCP servers. We've prepared a quick guide where we bootstrap a minimal MCP-powered chat agent with just a few lines of code: www.zeta-alpha.com/post/build-m...

The EU AI Act aims to create a level playing field for AI innovation. Here’s what it is.

Cool!

This was excellent. Highlight of London Tech Week by a large margin.

European AI startups power the acceleration of digital capabilities for the continent’s high tech industry, and Germany is in the lead. That's why Zeta Alpha is at #HANNOVERMESSE next week to showcase our latest AI product innovation. And do check out our talk with Festo.

Has Europe accidentally found a new modus operandi where a qualified majority can can simply take decisions? www.politico.eu/article/euro...

One of the advantages of Europe is its wonderful high speed train system. So this morning I hopped on the Eurostar to Paris, where I am proud to represent @zeta-alpha.bsky.social at the Hello Tomorrow 2025 Global Summit on the AI side of the Dutch Deep Tech delegation.

Agents are all the rage - and for good reason. While the concept of agents has been around for decades in traditional software engineering, recent AI breakthroughs have brought them back into the spotlight.

Modern chatbots can exhibit complex and dynamic behaviors without explicit programming, redefining what's possible. Key aspects of this paradigm include orchestration, memory and planning, tool use, and automatic optimization. But what exactly are AI agents?

Europe stands with Ukraine! I just donated to u24.gov.ua and I hope you will too.

Somehow the US regime seems to think that magnificent 7 market caps will magically remain stable without the European revenues, starting with Tesla…

Ok so sorry but we also need to sacrifice Canada. Here’s the deal: immediate ascent into US as 10 new states, plus immediate new elections for Senate and Congress.

Not one inch. Of Ukraine should be given to Russia. Because Europe says so.

Fortunately the market is a good arbiter. As Musk’s dark political aspirations get into the thick of it, the biggest shot is likely to be right in his own foot. finance.yahoo.com/news/dark-cl...

At 20W, the human brain consumes approximately 3,000 kWh by the age of 18, or $300 at 10c/kWh. - Sebastian Thrun AI has a long way to go!

On climbing mountains, doing work and many other things: You have to know when to stop, but I have less often regretted pushing just a bit further, than quitting just a bit too soon.

Let’s say a trillion US dolllars is a fair price and let’s get on with it.
