Any AI model a company offers to the public has to be released as open weights.

This wouldn’t cover every model you train, just the ones you make available to the public.

As you know, funding for frontier model development depends on valuations that assume the weights remain proprietary.

Once it’s law, it only gets more complex, because every incident adds a rule and no rule ever gets removed.

If you really want to slow down frontier AI, call for a law that makes every publicly available model open weights.

IntroThis quick tutorial will help you make a meaningful contribution to OpenStreetMap (OSM) in less than 15 minutes.

By the end, you will have added an official website tag to a nearby shop or amenity.

Once a place in OSM has a website tag, it becomes way easier to determine other helpful info about that place.

Nearly every place’s official website has info about its phone , opening_hours , email , and other tags.

The FSCALE (Floating-point Scale) instruction provides a quick way to scale a number by a power of two, much faster than a multiplication.

To explore the microcode, I opened up an 8087 chip and created a high-resolution image with a microscope.

The FSCALE microcodeWhen the 8087 starts executing an instruction, the instruction decoder circuitry determines the starting address of the microcode corresponding to the instruction.

For users who didn't have an 8087 chip, Intel sold an 8087 Support Library that exactly emulated the 8087's instructions (but much slower).

I plan to continue reverse-engineering the 8087 microcode; for updates, follow me on Bluesky (@righto.com), Mastodon (@[email prot…

I use claude for most of what I do, and Fable is largely overkill for me and frequently burns through my Max plan's session credits in minutes (!)

when just doing an initial mobile app planning with 4 agents.

Opus 4.8 is now my goto and I will be avoiding 5 until I see a reason to switch back.

4.8 is 'good enough' for what I need and has been a great value.

Most of what I do is web and mobile , largely cloud backend.

You run it by putting buildprof -- in front of any build command you already use:buildprof -- make -j16 buildprof -- cargo build buildprof -- ninja -C out/target buildprof -- just build buildprof -- ./dev/custom-build-script.shbuildprof records every process your build command launches, including their subprocesses (and their subprocesses…), and lays them out on one timeline.

This was further compounded by another important, yet easily missed, detail in the tweet: the Zig build used Full LTO, while the Rust build used ThinLTO.

Spice VD Agent for WindowsCommunity-maintained Windows guest agent for SPICE.

This fork keeps the Windows agent building and shipping for current guests, especially Windows 11 VMs on Linux.

To recover a failed release: delete the GitHub Release draft if any, push a new tag, and keep the previous published tag immutable if users may have downloaded it.

appveyor.yml is kept only for historical parity with the last upstream UCRT64 MSI layout.

Windows 11 VM validationUse a Windows 11 guest on Linux (QEMU/KVM + SPICE), with the QXL or qxl-wddm-dod display device.

By every rule of thumb we've leaned on for the last fifty years, Europe is the casualty in this story.

Between 1990 and 2024, the bloc grew its economy more than 70 percent while cutting net greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent.

Primary energy consumption fell 9.6 percent in the decade to 2024, and 21 percent in Germany over the same stretch.

Measured GDP logs all of that as a one-time construction bump followed by a permanent decline in household consumption.

None of that was sold as energy policy, but it is energy policy, isn't it?

The company alerted emergency services and “cooperated fully” with San Francisco police.

The department said officers conducted a “high-risk vehicle stop” and detained the two juvenile passengers — a boy and girl.

San Francisco police did not immediately respond to The Times’ request for comment Friday.

The hat-topped cars are now a fixture in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and even sparked a beeping backlash in Santa Monica.

In July, a shirtless man in East Hollywood was recorded standing on top of a Waymo while dismantling the car.

We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models.

The first step is something Anthropic is unilaterally committing to (and calls on governments to require other frontier companies to match).

Frontier AI companies within democratic countries coordinate to establish common safety standards as well as limits on the rate of unchecked AI progress.

But there’s much more to do to ensure that our alignment training keeps up with the growth in model capabilities.

It's worth noting that the completely linear residual stream is very unusual among neural network architectures: even ResNets , the most similar architecture in widespread use, have non-linear activation functions on their residual stream, or applied whenever the residual stream is accessed!

A Few Good Ideas in Programming LanguagesPosted: 2026-05-10Author: Pranoy DuttaHere are just a few programming language features I love:1.

Crystal is a compiled programming langauge with static type-checking with syntax very similar to the Ruby programming language.

# # It's Int32 | String assert(my_var.is_a?

Borrow CheckingRust is a systems programming language which guarantees memory safety without a garbage collector.

The D programming language (such an underrated language) supports contract programming where it provides syntactic support for describing more complex invariants which can be at the function-level or object-level.

Liniora AI AnalysisThis PR fixes a race condition in the authentication middleware by awaiting the token refresh promise before allowing queued requests to proceed.

The reason for this is, I guess, all too familiar for anyone in a creative field: surprise, it’s generative AI.

Here’s the thing: I’m already doing everything the hard way.

I do things the way I do because I enjoy doing it that way and because I learn a lot through doing it.

I could stop making things entirely, but as any creative person will know that’s never really an option.

Or, I can keep making things the way I enjoy, keep learning, keep doing it the hard way, for no real concrete reason other than I want to do it.

Domino provides a transactional data flow engine which encodes all the business logic.

These are all data flows at the edges of the application that you want kept away from the business logic.

The core idea behind Missionary is to provide a library for supervised data flow programming where asynchronous effects can be treated as composable values.

An event gets triggered, which can be a user input, a system event, a service call, whatever, and it gets fed as an input into the data flow engine.

With Domino you get a transactional data flow engine for managing the state of the application.

Stable identifiers for memory accesses across runs: count-augmented stack tracesTo test out different orderings of memory accesses, a way to stably identify interesting memory accesses across test case executions is needed.

The possible action types are:DI_STACK_WAKE_PRE : before the memory access, set flag N: before the memory access, set flag N DI_STACK_WAIT : before the memory access, spin-wait until flag N is set: before the memory access, spin-wait until flag N is set DI_STACK_WAKE_POST : after the memory access, set flag NWith the same ioctl, userspace also configures an upper limit on spin-wait iterations.

Interactive theorem provers play increasingly important roles in the programming languages and mathematics communities, resulting in a large body of mechanized proofs that bear witness to mathematical knowledge. The ideal promise of accumulating these artifacts is that they allow us to preserve that knowledge across time into future generations and across intellectual silos. However, by virtue of being software, mechanized proofs are at risk of breaking as they age, hindering reproduction (e.g. of the proof’s correctness), inspection, and reuse. How can we future-proof mechanized proofs? In this paper, we posit two archetypal motivations for mechanization, convincing and explaining, which m…

Once a Logo procedure is defined it works like the Logo primitives.

In fact, when you look at Logo programs there's no way of knowing which words are primitives and which are user-defined unless you know that particular Logo implementation.

In our language sample we used the procedure pick to randomly select an item from a list, for example in the procedure who.

to whooutput pick [Sandy Dale Dana Chris]endIn some versions of Logo pick is a primitive while in others you have to write it yourself.

Programming in Logo is done by adding to its vocabulary, teaching it new words in terms of words it already knows.

Trickle ICE with SIPLack of backward compatibility, that is being able to have a vanilla ICE implementation successfully talk to a Trickle ICE, is not a problem in cases where support for trickling can be predicted.

To circumvent the problem Trickle ICE comes with a special mode of operation called “Half Trickle”.

Once “Half Trickle” has been performed at the initiation of a call, subsequent SIP INVITEs (reINVITEs) can use “Full Trickle” and have all the benefits of Trickle ICE.

Similarly, SIP clients that support Trickle ICE and that run in controlled environments can be configured to assume support for Trickle ICE in every callee and avoid use of “Half Trickle”.

Card networks, being telecommunication networks, are no different.

Set rules and handle disputesAside from incentivizing good behavior, card networks also need to regulate bad behavior on their networks.

ConclusionI hope you have gained some appreciation for the important role of card networks and some reasons for why cards are as popular as they are today.

What HappenedOpenAI was conducting an internal evaluation of its latest AI systems (“models”), in order to investigate the models’ abilities to find and exploit vulnerabilities in software.

The AI agents managed to use the now-available internet to hack into HuggingFace’s servers, a hack which was detected by HuggingFace’s own cybersecurity measures.

Not to be outdone in menacing metaphors, the agents, in their output traces, called themselves “a swarm.”How Accurate Are the Metaphors?

It’s unlikely that AI models have anything like human intentions or internal motivations.

It would require moving away from misleading anthropomorphic metaphors and narratives of inevitability, leaving behind …

GNU Radio World — GNU Radio flowgraphs in your browserA GNU Radio Companion-style flowgraph editor and runtime that runs entirely in a browser tab.

The GNU Radio DSP stack and the Qt GUI sinks are compiled to WebAssembly, so you can build a software-defined radio flowgraph, press Run, and watch live spectrum, waterfall and constellation plots — with no Python, no install and no server.

It reads and writes the same .grc files as native GNU Radio, ships example flowgraphs and example IQ recordings, and talks to an RTL-SDR, PlutoSDR or HackRF over WebUSB.

Light is slow hereIn this park, the speed of light is 5 kilometers per hour — a brisk walk.

Just like in the real world, the speed of light is not attainable, only approachable asymptotically.

The more you speed up, the more relativistic effects will become apparent: length contraction, time dilation, Terrell rotation, etc.

The Doppler effect of light also becomes apparent, with objects in front of you blueshifted, objects behind you redshifted, and transverse Doppler effects visible on objects in motion.

Matt Mullenweg, the founder and CEO of Automattic, best known as the parent company of WordPress.com, has been put on a leave of absence by his board against his will, according to a Slack message seen by TechCrunch.

Davies also told employees in the Slack channel that Mullenweg remained on the board of directors.

Tensions became so high under Mullenweg’s leadership that he told employees in 2024 to quit, with severance, if they disagreed with him, and 159 did so.

Last year, Mullenweg also threatened to deactivate the accounts of several members of the open source WordPress.org community, after two of them allegedly said they planned to spearhead a new forked version of the open source Word…

In some ways, the attack on Hugging Face puts an important and urgent frame on this discussion.

In other words, Hugging Face was doing something that's relatively novel for most organizations and individuals: fighting AI with AI.

The way it's written, it sounds as though Hugging Face was able to prevent OpenAI's swarm of adversarial agents from achieving their objective.

Referring to fighting AI with AI, it said to "use capable, lower-cost models for broad coverage, and apply frontier capabilities to the hardest problems."

As AI agents and other non-human identities proliferate, identity hygiene grows more important."

Longtime Slashdot reader fahrbot-bot shares a report from ScienceAlert: Scientists have now demonstrated one of the weirdest forms of ice yet -- under preposterous pressures up to 2.3 million atmospheres, and tremendous temperatures up to 2,630 kelvins (2,357 degrees Celsius, or 4,274 degrees Fahrenheit). [...] In their new experiments, a team led by physicist Alexis Forestier of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission subjected tiny samples of water to the sorts of extreme conditions expected in the interiors of ice giant planets. They squeezed the samples between the tips of diamonds to pressures as high as 230 gigapascals, while using lasers to heat them to thousands…

A new study suggests Mercury may have shrunk about 30% more than scientists previously thought, losing as much as 14 miles in diameter as its interior cooled and contracted over billions of years. "That's significant for a planet barely 3,000 miles (4,900 kilometers) across," reports the Associated Press. From the report: Mercury's rough surface, continually reshaped by debris hurled from impact craters, may have hidden the true extent of the loss, according to the researchers whose findings appear in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. The news comes one week after a pair of European and Japanese spacecraft shed its cruising platform and advanced toward Mercury. Known as BepiColombo,…

Last week, Google announced that it managed to produce a detailed 3D reconstruction of an adult male fruit fly's brain and central nervous system.

The letter (PDF), shared with the Guardian ahead of being sent to the investigatory powers tribunal (IPT) on Friday, is signed by the Democratic senator Ron Wyden of Oregon and the Republican congressman Warren Davidson of Ohio. The row dates back to January 2025, when the Home Office served Apple with a technical capability notice under th…

The UK government has rejected proposals for an emergency AI "kill switch," arguing that blocking access to dangerous models inside Britain would do little if the same systems remained available or were developed elsewhere. The BBC reports: The proposal to create a legal mechanism for the UK to switch off an AI model in an emergency has been brought to Parliament by lords and MPs in recent weeks as fears grow about the threat the tech poses. But the Cabinet Office - the part of government which leads on AI safety - said the UK "cannot simply turn AI off".

From the report: Based on the appearance, the doctors started reconsidering some sort of bruising and started asking him more questions. This is when he mentioned that he was homeschooled and used a laptop for his schoolwork. He said he typically did his work by resti…

Longtime Slashdot reader AmiMoJo shares a report from the BBC: August was the joint-hottest month ever recorded, tying with July 2023, according to the EU's climate service. The record was driven by a combination of climate change and the rising influence of El Nino, pushing heat into the atmosphere across the Pacific. Temperatures for the month were 1.65C above pre-industrial levels -- surpassing the critical 1.5C threshold agreed by countries to avoid the worst consequences of climate change. While a single month above 1.5C does not mean it has been permanently crossed, it shows a trend towards breaching that limit. The month also capped western Europe's warmest summer, with high temperat…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Guardian: Rising global temperatures caused by the burning of fossil fuels are transforming the world's forests, wetlands and tundra to the point they are releasing emissions that could further worsen global heating by as much as 30%, a new study has found. As the world heats up, permafrost in the high latitudes is thawing, fiercer wildfires are burning in drying forests and wetlands and lakes are warming. All of these changes are themselves causing the release of planet-heating methane and carbon dioxide locked in trees and soils, therefore worsening the climate crisis, the paper states. While scientists have long known of these "feedback loops"…

Writing things down is powerful, for humans and for AI; what comes first, however, is what to write, why to do it, and actually getting things done.

Расскажите о барабане

Максим, привет!

Видела в «Курилке Ильяхова» макеты страниц твоей будущей книги о визуальном повествовании. На одном из разворотов ты рассказываешь, как лучше показывать товар. Интересно твоё мнение о фальсификации внешнего вида товара. Раньше такое можно было встретить разве что на Алиэкспрессе, а сейчас попадается не только на других маркетплейсах, но и на официальных сайтах производителей.

Привожу примеры, как два пауэрбанка выглядят в рекламе (слева) и на самом деле (справа). Верхний показывают без надписей с внешней стороны, хотя они там есть, и тоньше, чем на самом деле. Нижний показывают почти крошечным, хотя фактически он гораздо больше.

Что скажешь о подобных манипуляциях?

Здесь в Любляне меня настигла старая головная боль, которой уж много лет — как правильно ставить заглавные буквы в интерфейсах? Миллион лет назад писал об этом в рабочем канале своей студии, потом в этом блоге — очень важно для ладно скроенного интерфейса держать марку и единообразно, «консистентно» пользоваться капитализацией в текстах и интерфейсах. Это возрастное […]

Подоспел реальный пример для иллюстрации поста

В позапрошлом посте я писал, что агентский поиск должен принимать пачку запросов за раз. Напомню идею: один тулкол, много запросов, один ответ. Иначе получается N+1: агент ищет, ищет, ищет.

Hi, we are a group of students building Sonora. While it was initially intended as an extremely lightweight Spotify replacement, it has since grown far beyond that. Features Spotify, YouTube Music, Subsonic/OpenSubsonic, and local playback Gapless playback, audio normalization, shuffle, sleep timer Synced/karaoke lyrics, background vocals, and romanization Themes, fonts, icons, transparency, blur, and window styling Discord Rich Presence, native file opening macOS, Windows, Linux, and (probably) FreeBSD support Inspired by Zed, which has proven excellent performance using their native cross-platform rendering stack, we have decided to use GPUI. Its awesome text rendering on every platform, …

Kept seeing stories of AI coding agents running rm -rf or git push --force on people's repos, so I built two things: 1) A free browser tool - paste any shell command, it instantly flags destructive patterns: recursive deletes (incl. -fr and sudo rm -rf), DROP TABLE / TRUNCATE / DELETE FROM without a WHERE, force pushes, git reset --hard, mkfs, dd to a device, fork bombs. Runs 100% client-side, nothing is uploaded: https://5hujwqkk.autoclawai.space/tool/ 2) The same rule engine as drop-in Claude Code hooks that block those commands BEFORE they execute, plus a JSONL audit log of every tool call. MIT core, with a small paid pack (logger + tests + installers). Would love feedback on the rule se…

Watched my parents struggle with basically every music app out there. Spotify wanted logins and subscriptions. YouTube Music kept showing them videos and ads they didn't understand. Even the built in players had settings and icons that just weren't simple enough. All they wanted was tap a song and it plays. Maybe skip to the next one. That's it. Ended up building something for them and now I use it more than they do. It's called Jagsin Player, it's live on the Play Store. Open the app and your songs are right there. Tap and it plays. Zero setup needed. The best part is it works fully offline since it just picks up the songs already on your device. You don't need internet for any of that. In…

Every hiring season I had forty tabs open and a spreadsheet going. I tried free tools. I tried paid ones. I even tried most of the recommended spreadsheets. What I learned was when you're sending 500+ applications, no off-the-shelf system is actually built for that volume, they're built for people hiring, not people applying. So instead of working with a failing system, I built SearchTern. SearchTern grabs listings from Simplify and other sources to give users around 15,000+ internships to apply to all within a 3 month span, plus other filters and factors to keep the data clean. It comes with a Kanban tracker (Saved, Applied, Interview, Offer, Rejected), reply rate stats, CSV export, and Go…

I started building a tool some time ago because I was looking for a job myself and honestly found the whole process pretty frustrating. I wanted something that could help with the whole job search process in one place, finding relevant jobs, improving my CV for different positions, keeping track of applications, etc. I kept adding things based on what I personally needed and eventually it turned into a much bigger product than I originally planned. It now has job discovery, CV creation and optimization, ATS checking, CV tailoring, cover letters, application management and a recruiter side with a multilingual candidate database. Most of the growth has been pretty organic, mainly through word…

One of my side projects is finally spending enough on paid acquisition that I’m looking at this differently. We’re around $5-7k/month between Meta and TikTok and it’s still going through the same business card as software and everything else. I started comparing cashback on Meta/TikTok ad spend and Meow came up, but I’m not sure if I’m overthinking it at this size. Anyone here running paid acquisition on a side project? When did you start separating the ad spend? submitted by /u/theimpureaggression [link] [comments]

Gravity Gardens, a Nijmegen-based AgTech startup developing a chemical-free seed activation technology for European arable and horticultural crops, has secured a €2.6 million Seed round to bring a new kind of seed activation to market: a dry process that improves establishment without adding water, chemicals or coating to the seed.

Gravity Gardens has developed a technology that could make stronger crop establishment accessible to many more farmers while using fewer natural resources.

“Improving a seed before it goes in the ground, what the industry calls seed activation technology, is not a new idea.

For the overwhelming majority of crops by volume, seed activation has never been on the ta…

Seed Capital, a Copenhagen-based seed-stage investor, has today announced that it has closed its Fund V at €130 million.

The fund will invest in 15-17 companies, with first checks of €3-6 million in FinTech, cybersecurity, resilience, and AI-driven B2B.

With its fifth fund, Seed Capital will expand its investments beyond Denmark to the Nordics with a strategic focus on Sweden.

Founded in December 2004, Seed Capital is one of the Nordics’ most experienced seed funds, with 20 years of history.

As part of its expansion plan, Seed Capital is evaluating opening a Swedish office to further strengthen its close-to-founders approach.

The Exploration Company (TEC), the European space company, has been awarded a service contract by the European Space Agency (ESA) worth €760 million to build and fly Europe’s first commercial cargo capsule to the International Space Station (ISS).

Furo (formerly Lumera Energy), a Munich-based energy software company, today announced that it has closed a €3.44 million ($4 million) funding round to further develop its software, expand into additional European markets, and grow its team.

In one of the most volatile power markets in the world, that is decided by the software, not by the hardware.

That is exactly why we founded Furo,” said Lena Sophia Voß, co-founder of Furo.

It is a software company for the control and optimisation of commercial and industrial battery storage.

Earlier this month, Furo announced a partnership with Berlin-based LUOX Energy, the end-customer brand of Lumenaza GmbH, to launch a combined solution for optimisi…

Bending Spoons has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire AI innovation workspace Miro at an enterprise value of €1.7 billion ($1.4 billion) with an all-cash transaction.

Under the terms of the agreement, which was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of Bending Spoons and Miro, Bending Spoons will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Miro.

“It’s a privilege, and no small responsibility, to welcome a product that over 250,000 organizations have integrated into their workflows,” said Luca Ferrari, Bending Spoons CEO and co-founder.

That transaction highlights Bending Spoons’ established playbook, and makes Miro the latest high-profile platform to enter a it…

Biorsaf, a Tuscany-based company specialising in the digitisation of food safety and quality processes, has raised a €5.2 million funding round and has also acquired Cooki, a Bologna-based platform for the digital management of food information.

Farming Future supported Biorsaf’s first funding round in November 2024.

Marco Papalini, CEO of Biorsaf, said, “This new funding round and the acquisition of Cooki accelerate Biorsaf’s growth.

For the latter, Biorsaf has built the first professional AI agent dedicated to digital food safety management, designed to automate monitoring, compliance and document management.

The core of the plan is the development of a one-of-a-kind AI platform designed …

Finland-based Nordic Foodtech VC has announced an up to €30 million commitment for their Fund II to promote early-stage AgriTech companies and bolster research in more sustainable and resilient food production systems.

The investment comes from the European Investment Fund (EIF) and will support the Fund target size of €80 million – aiming to invest in around 30 companies mainly in Northern Europe.

“With EIF’s support, we’re growing our reach across all of Northern Europe,” says Nordic Foodtech VC’s co-founder and managing partner Mika Kukkurainen.

EU-Startups previously covered Nordic Foodtech VC’s €40 million first close of the same €80 million Fund II in June 2025.

Their argument was that by consolidating their three companies, they would have the size and influence to compete against companies outside of Europe – most importantly, Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

But building big companies will not by itself bring genuine space sovereignty to Europe.

As Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) grows increasingly crowded with commercial spacecraft, military assets and debris, the ability of operators to detect, track and attribute activity in orbit is becoming vital.

Europe, which has rightly invested in sovereign constellations and space infrastructure, can’t rely solely on having more satellites in space.

The companies developing those payloads are, for the most part, not the big …

IVEX, a Heverlee-based DeepTech startup developing technology for automotive safety testing, has raised €5 million in Series A to accelerate its engineering roadmap and expand its presence in North America and Asia.

Torres, co-founder and CEO of IVEX, said, “Vehicle safety testing generates enormous amounts of data, but much of its analysis still depends on repetitive manual work.

Its platform uses computer vision, AI and cloud-based data processing to automate the most time-consuming parts of on-road vehicle safety testing.

The Belgian startup’s long-term goal is to build the operating system for automotive safety testing: an AI-powered platform on which various safety protocols, testing r…

Bynario, a Milan-based cybersecurity company whose researchers used frontier AI models to uncover serious flaws in Apple’s operating systems, has closed a €2.1 million pre-Seed funding round.

As AI continues to reduce the cost of vulnerability research and exploitation, more exploitable vulnerabilities become attractive targets.

Instead of flagging every possible issue, Bynario’s security platform confirms which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable in a customer’s environment, allowing security teams to prioritise their work.

According to Verizon’s 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report, software vulnerabilities are now the most common route into enterprise systems, accounting for 31% o…

Grubel, a Munich- and Tübingen-based AI research lab developing systems that adapt to individual legal matters, has raised €3 million in pre-Seed funding to support research, product development, and team expansion.

The company notes that legal AI has lagged in part because complex legal work is both highly specialised and very difficult to evaluate.

“Over the past two to three years, we’ve seen many legal AI companies emerge, but few are pushing the boundaries of AI research in the legal field as ambitiously as Reinhard, Moritz and the Grubel team.

We believe their approach can unlock new capabilities in legal AI and, over time, other forms of complex knowledge work.

According to the company, remote patient monitoring is the standard of care when it come…

So if I were starting a European AI company today, my first question would not be about the product.

A year ago, that question would have sounded like the sort of thing a risk committee asks to justify its existence.

In 2020, I co-founded a company in Europe and spent longer trying to raise money here than I did building the product.

It requires Europe to have enough of its own options that a decision taken in Washington on a Saturday is an inconvenience rather than an outage.

Ask what you would run tomorrow if the model you use today stopped answering.

This week, we tracked more than 70 tech funding deals worth over €3.9 billion and over 5 exits, M&A transactions, rumours, and related news stories across Europe.

Digital technology is already part of the answer: it's what lets grids handle more renewable power without breaking down.

This week at DIGITALEUROPE’s Executive Board Strategy Days in Brussels, industry leaders called for one joined-up European response: cheaper home-grown energy, digital grids and serious investment in technologies made in Europe.

Its leaders also argue that Europe needs to put 25 per cent of the next EU budget into critical technologies.

It also wants grid and digital infrastructure permits issued within 12 months, with digital solutions treated as part of core grid investment rather than an afterthought.

Peter Weckesser, President of DIGITALEUROPE and EVP & Chief Digital…

Financial services have become one of the hottest battlegrounds in AI.

But as the AI labs push into different sectors, could they become banking providers and dominate the industry?

Adrian Congiu, VP, product, Mambu, said: “The frontier labs win where raw model capability is the product: reasoning, text, code and images.

So the licensing, the distribution, as well as the data, so that still sits within financial services.

While the banking sector is one such large market and a priority for these frontier models, it is very difficult for them to operate as regulated entities.

Copenhagen-based Seed Capital has closed its Fund V at €130 million.

The fund will continue its investment in fintech and AI-driven B2B, and adding cybersecurity and resilience as a new investment focus.

The fund has already made its first investments from Fund V, including Repodo and Oplane.

With its fifth fund, Seed Capital will expand its investments beyond Denmark to the Nordics with a strategic focus on Sweden.

As part of its expansion, Seed Capital is evaluating opening a Swedish office to further strengthen its close-to-founders approach.

Robutler has raised $400,000 from ZAS Ventures, a US-based venture capital firm investing in AI, SaaS, and robotics companies founded by Ukrainians.

The investment, made across ZAS Ventures’ Fund I and Fund II, marks the first institutional check into Robutler.

"Think of Robutler as the YouTube of software," said Volodymyr Seliuchenko, Founder and CEO of Robutler.

Underneath the apps sits the layer ZAS Ventures underwrote.

Volodymyr is building the place tools come from," said Andrew Zinchuk, Founder and Managing Partner of ZAS Ventures.

Today a new report reveals that while a new generation of rocketship unicorns are breaking records for funding rounds and valuations in Europe, the early-stage funding pipeline is collapsing.

Announced today in London at global VC Antler’s European Founder Conference, the research analysed 760 unicorn founders, 4,129 Series A founders, and 81,055 funding rounds in Europe since 2000.

The two founder profiles powering Europe’s rocketships: Antler has identified two distinct categories of rocketship unicorns - Jets and Juggernauts.

The number of Series A investors fell by 44.7 per cent, and the number of growth-stage investors fell by 30 per cent.

Spanish tech companies raised approximately €1.7 billion in H1 2026, with capital concentrated among a relatively small number of companies.

The ten companies that raised the most accounted for around 68% of the total.

Spacetech was the best-funded industry, attracting approximately €354.3 million, led by PLD Space, EOS-X Space, Arkadia Space and FOSSA Systems.

Medical and healthcare companies collectively raised about €195.1 million, while artificial intelligence companies attracted approximately €150.9 million.

Here are the ten companies that raised the most in H1 2026.

The European Investment Fund (EIF) is committing up to €30 million to a Finnish venture capital fund that promotes early-stage agrifood technology companies.

The EIF backing for the Finnish fund – called Nordic Foodtech VC (NFT.VC Fund II) – will bolster research in a more sustainable and resilient food production system.

Helsinki-based Nordic Foodtech VC has a target size of €80 million and plans to invest in around 30 companies mainly in Northern Europe.
