Open AI Grows as Europe Bets on Sovereignty
Mozilla's State of Open Source AI report shows open-weight models are now production-ready, with rapid growth on platforms like Hugging Face and OpenRouter. Europe lags in frontier models, with Chinese models leading, while Mistral's restrictions are noted. The report highlights deployment gaps and opportunities for European companies in tooling. The UK invests £500M in sovereign AI via Lumen, and the EU AI Act's compute-based risk assessment is questioned.
Report on open-source AI ecosystem with implications for ad-targeting and AI deployment, but not a single disruptive event.
