Could not agree more!
We have so much great talent and should work right now.
In parallel we need better basic conditions.
First: EU-INC as demanded and not watered down.
A decisive moment for Europe

If in a few years we are wondering why Europe's startup ecosystem is still lagging behind, we will look back at this moment in time.

At this point the whole EU Inc negotiations are so lost in the details that everyone forgot the main goal: Creating a standard.
Basically, allow founders to raise quickly globally and use stock options to hire competitively.
Let’s say it quite clearly:
1) If EU Inc isn’t providing a standard it’s useless. We already got 30+ legal entities in Europe. Experienced founders use Delaware Inc already because of this.
2) If EU Inc doesn’t fix stock options Delaware Inc is still the better option.
I understand the there are complex details and people are worried about loopholes. But you can’t lose the actual goal of it because of it.
An EU Inc that doesn't provide a standard is pointless. Nobody will care about intricacies of compromises reached in political committees if the market can't use the outcome.
If you are in contact with your political leaders (prime ministers, presidents, et al) please reach out to them. Or to founders/investors in your network who might have that access.

🆕 Very happy to share:
“One for All, All for One: Coordinated Multi-Agent Diffusion Steering via Stochastic Optimal Control”
Work co-led with top-notch collaborators @BarbanoRiccardo and Runchang Li 🤝
We show how to teach pretrained diffusion models to work together: coordinating robot arms, human motion, navigation and image components.
With frozen pretrained weights! ❄️
📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2610.08595
Grateful to an incredible team: George Webber, Alexander Denker, Željko Kereta, @stefanAbauer, Francisco Vargas and Esmeralda S. Whitammer. 🙌

The constant decel messaging in Europe is insufferable as an adult, but its effect on kids is worse. As a parent, it's your obligation to counterprogram this nonsense. Show them robots, rockets, and wonders of AI. Show them cathedrals and moon landings. Instill hope in progress.

The safety data for Waymo gets better and better.
Comparison w/ human drivers on rate of crashes with serious injury:
Latest data: 270M miles, 20X better
Mar 2026: 170M miles, 13X better
Before that (forget exactly when): 10X better
270M+ miles. 841 fewer injury-causing crashes.
Our latest safety data shows the Waymo Driver continues to make roads safer for everyone.
Compared to human drivers across 5 territories, it reduced:
📉 Injury crashes by 82%
📉 Serious injury crashes by 95%

We are announcing @optagonlabs, the world’s first AI-native company for drug engineering.
Optagon will redefine how pharma develops drugs, unlocking an abundance of medicines that successfully reach patients.
AI has made significant progress in helping discover new drugs, but bringing those drugs to patients is still bottlenecked by the engineering process before clinical trials.
People have been trying to solve parts of this problem using frontier models, self-driving labs, or specialized deep learning models. We commend those efforts, but we believe that they are not enough to solve the drug engineering problem. The R&D value chain involves actors and objects which AI must be able to reason over. The ultimate solution is a puzzle of self-accelerating modular loops that connect the intelligence realm to the real world.
We are building this future to unlock an abundance of medicines reaching patients successfully.

For everybody who plans to submit some random AI slop paper that you didn’t even bother to understand or even read … just don’t. Withdraw as long as you can. Nobody is going to give you a job or PhD position for this, but you will never get this out of your CV. And people will figure you out. We will ask you about what you wrote and this will be the end of the interview. You need to understand that you are closing the door to the career you might actually seek by doing this. Stop it as long as you can!

you might be the first person talking about the data over the architecture! 🥲
we consider ourselves a data research lab! the vast vast vast majority of research was on making data that is truly general (ala a cognitive core) and 100% of our data is synthetic (but not the type of crap that is just spit out from an LLM obviously)

FLUX 3 Video now has fast, precise editing.
The fastest and lowest cost video editing model in the world.
In our internal benchmarking, it’s also ahead of other leading models in the accuracy and precision of edits.
Edit an existing video by:
• Adding, removing, or replacing objects and characters
• Replacing backgrounds
• Editing text
• Changing colors, materials, visual effects
• Changing or translating dialogue with accurate lip sync
• Changing the events of a clip

It would be useful communications if you actually told us what this means while you're at it.
Instead, now a million people have to ask their Very Large Search Engine the question, evaporating thousands of gall...litres of water.
We have designated ChatGPT as a Very Large Online Search Engine and Reddit and Roblox as Very Large Online Platforms under the Digital Services Act.
They now have four months to comply with additional DSA obligations.

To people saying founders should be willing to overcome some added complexity if they have the grit to win: I agree.
But a startup needs a village to win. This also means that founders are asking every supporter to share that administrative burden.
As an angel, I dread having to go to the notary for the handful of German startups I’ve put a small ticket into.
I love their projects, but spending an hour at the notary is a massive ask when helping founders is already a nights-and-weekends side hustle.
Startups are all about momentum and rallying supporters. Every added obstacle makes both harder unfortunately.
Met a German founder this week and asked him if all the stories one reads about the challenges of startups in Germany are exaggerated. "No, they're understated." Proceeded to describe spending a full day having a 90-page investment contract read to him (mandatory under German law; § 13 BeurkG) by a notary that then charged €30,000. That was for his first company. His second company, needless to say, was not incorporated in Germany.
