Mistral spent two years warning the US could switch off its rivals. A fat-cat meme just made the point for it.

On Wednesday, Arthur Mensch took his seat at a G7 working lunch in Evian alongside Sam Altman, Demis Hassabis, and Dario Amodei. Days earlier, the US government had ordered Amodei’s company to cut foreign nationals off from its most capable models, and Anthropic had pulled them worldwide.

Europe frets over American AI as the tech world descends on France

Europe arrived at its own party having just been reminded, […]

As Europe rearms, the ‘wingman’ drone takes centre stage at the Berlin airshow

The aircraft drawing crowds at last week’s Berlin airshow was not the one with a pilot in it. The “loyal wingman,” an uncrewed jet built to fly beside a manned fighter and carry the extra sensors, jammers, and weapons the fighter cannot, has become Europe’s defence obsession, and four companies turned up to sell it.

Rocapine raises $13m to build wellness apps that hold instead of hook

Rocapine, a Paris venture studio building wellness apps, has raised a $13m Series A led by Educapital, the company said. The pitch is a neat inversion: take the playbook that made mobile gaming addictive, fast iteration, AI-native development, performance marketing, and aim it at the opposite outcome.
