I think it's more likely to be the effect of synchronization of launches, and the fact that models that do not challenge SOTA in some way do not get launched (think Gemini Pro delays), launched quietly or do not get any attention.

It's nice to see partnerships between European startups.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

I have an M3 Ultra 96 GB, it works reasonably well with something like qwen/qwen3-vl-30b (fast) or openai/gpt-oss-120b (slow-ish) or openai/gpt-oss-20b (fast, largest context). I keep the latter loaded, and have a cronjob that generates a new MOTD for my shell every 15 minutes with information gathered from various sources.

What a misnomer! This doesn't help becoming sovereign, just vassals.

AWS European Vassal Cloud.

The moment USA decides to mandate no more software updates or security maintenance, it won't stand on its own for much longer.

Learn something else. Try Rust or Go.

E.g. Write a semi-naive datalog interpreter that uses sqlite as a backend (sql and datalog are computationally equivalent), make it available to Python and Typescript. (I am actually bored too, I might "steal" my own idea)

Have you tried Jax or Taichi? https://www.taichi-lang.org/

For Monte Carlo simulations, Pyro and tensorflow_probability have also nice abstractions.

Rigidity in inputs lock down your system's evolution. The whole system need to evolve in lockstep if you need to change what the systems processes.

In practice, you either end up with an enlarging monolith or introducing state evolution (either explicitly, or by adding incremental input types that the system processes and expanding its API surface).

Beyond a certain inflection point of complexity, flexibility in introducing change becomes necessary.

You're asking for a database app. What prevents you from building one?

I actively avoid anything that is gamified or uses engagement tricks.

I don't mind paying a subscription, if the app provides ongoing updates or new content that I value, or I understand why it has running costs. I would prefer if the app had extension packs, like games' DLCs over a subscription. If an app has a subscription, I will immediately cancel the subscription after subscribing to avoid the recurring cost (if I forget to cancel after year or so). If I find the app valuable, I will re-subscribe as needed.
