🇪🇺 LATEST: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says the company will announce $2 billion in European AI investments over the next week, adding to the $8 billion it has poured into the region in the past year.

a politically unstable Germany and a lame-duck French gvt really shift where we should focus European AI policy efforts. as much as I've always been a Commission doomer, it feels like the actually operational actors in EU policy right now are probably COM + NL (and maybe CA).

Sept. 15 Axelera AI launched its second-generation “Europa” inference chip and secured multiple European AI-factory supply contracts. The startup reports 600+ customers and deals worth tens of millions; its $1.5B sales pipeline is prospective—not booked revenue. Comment : Europe’s sovereign-AI buildout is creating alternative inference-chip demand, with deployments flowing through $DELL and $SMCI systems.

"We are trailing behind, but that doesn't mean the race is lost yet." Mistral CFO Johan Bergqvist says the main difference between European AI models and real frontier models is the "amount of compute we have available"  

I've tested Mistral Large 4 on our STEMBench - 20 problems for each of 6 domains - and it got a pretty nice score. It's definitely capable of doing original research across domains and is pretty even. Great win for the European AI!

That's a wrap on #CVSummit# 2026 🎬 Over two days and three stages, the conversations covered everything from agentic finance and stablecoins to the future of European AI, with a busy exhibition floor and a closing Boat Cruise on Lake Zurich to round it all off. Thank you to every partner, speaker, and attendee who joined us in Zurich. Keep an eye on our channels for more impressions from CV Summit 2026!

My wife's father lost his leg today and somehow it's my fault In March he came back from a trip to Thailand and showed me a dark spot on his foot I photographed it and faxed it to Mistral, the best European AI A few weeks later, results came back "Monsieur, nothing to worry about. Likely a shadow" it said He wanted to see a doctor anyway, but I forbid it There was no need for it, Mistral is smarter than any doctor Unfortunately, it got worse and they had to amputate his leg "If it wasn't for your stupid fucking European AI we would have caught it!" my wife screamed I stayed calm "Mistral was trained on European data. If your father didn't leave the EU borders, this wouldn't have happened" I trust European technology. It is regulated for a reason
