EU has a certain ego about itself; first step of recovery is admitting…
Some data we recently assembled on entrepreneurship/compute in Europe: eudata.vercel.app.
We hope that one of the useful roles that Stripe can play is in collecting and publishing empirical data pertaining to entrepreneurship and industry in Europe. There's growing appetite to get Europe on a better footing, and cross-sectional comparisons can often shine light on where opportunities lie. If you're interested in this kind of thing, we publish more at stripeeconomics.substack.com.

UAE is probably going to be the first to offer a govt-cli
Update on founding a company in Germany:
The VAT ID arrived. 203 days after I started, almost €12k later.
Then my tax firm asked for my trade registration. First time anyone mentioned it. Legally due the day I started.
Filed it 3 weeks ago. Still waiting. Probably gonna get fined 1000€ for doing business before it.

wouldn't this be the easiest business strategy for incumbents right now:
Reduce price + become ai native
= more total revenue

We asked filmmakers around the world to show us an optimistic vision of the future that’s worth living for everyone (not a Terminator saga).
2,500 of them answered, and now this Friday in Los Angeles, the top 5 will pitch their visions to Neil deGrasse Tyson, Neal Stephenson, Rod Roddenberry, and Mira Lane.

Jeez seems like we are going into another model release cycle; this will be the 3rd major one in 2026.
we have been averaging 2 a year so far.
the release rates are increasing too!
🚨 SCOOP: OpenAI are in the final stages of preparations for the launch of GPT-6 Sol and Luna, and the Terra tier is being discontinued. Anthropic are also working on a version bump with Fable, Opus, and Sonnet 5.5. Opus 5.5 is shipping imminently at discounted pricing, and Haiku looks to be going the same way as Terra. Whether they launch new Opus alongside other 5.5 models, we'll see.
This is all alongside an ongoing RL run at OpenAI on Astra for 6.1. There's still active debate among people at OpenAI on whether to release "Bel" - a nickname for their next, larger new pretrain post-"Doug" (the nickname of the Astra pretrain) - and my interpretation is that they're only going to do so once their hand is forced, both because of safety concerns and a lack of capacity. They're confident enough in 6.1 that they believe it'll trade blows with Anthropic's Fable 5.5, which itself is based on Anthropic's first new Fable pretrain. As for 6 Sol and Luna, I don't think 6 Sol is going to hold up very well to the new Opus, but Sonnet 5.5 and Luna should be more competitive. Personally I don't think we'll see the new pretrain deployed publicly until late this year at the earliest.
Given OpenAI are the kings of RL, I'm sure 6.1 will hold its own against Fable 5.5. But they're also up against the kings of pretraining!
As for Chinese labs, keep an eye on Moonshot/Kimi this week 👀 xAI too, though I think Grok 4.7 is kinda cooked.
