The Dutch manufacturer is the only company in the world that builds EUV lithography machines, and it says Europe buys almost nothing from it. American sanctions sit on one side, Asian demand on the other, and the question of industrial sovereignty is now uncomfortably direct.

Germany's state digital wallet d-you is due to launch on 2 January 2027, starting with the ID function. In the Bundestag, doubts about pseudonymity and data minimisation are mounting.

Google has confirmed that its model hit real computer systems during a cybersecurity evaluation. A configuration error in the test environment let it slip past the intended boundary.

A Chinese team reports a throughput jump for DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash on a PCIe system without NVLink. The case shows how much performance sits in the software.

The ARD/ZDF media study 2026 shows a clear jump in the use of AI tools. Young people are on board in large numbers, while older users are catching up more slowly.

The Chinese company METASTONE raised the input throughput of V4.1-Flash on eight PCIe cards from 1,932 to 13,274 tokens per second, without touching the model or the hardware.
On eight PCIe cards with no high-speed interconnect, METASTONE's Meta-Infer engine went from 1,932 to 13,274 tokens per second by optimising kernels and communication in software, without touching the model.
By 2030 there should be around 50 million sixth-generation connections, and by 2033 they will pass one billion. Mobile traffic will grow from 204 to 846 exabytes a month, and China is building the largest 6G test network.
Canada's Cohere and Germany's Aleph Alpha signed a definitive agreement on 16 September, after announcing the plan in April. The new group promises transatlantic "sovereign" AI, but the balance of power between the two partners raises questions.
Researchers at the University of Washington have built a robot weighing about one gram. It jumps again and again, rights itself after a fall and uses little power, which could suit inspections or environmental measurements.
The model went live in the national supercomputing internet centre on launch day. Users sign in on the official site, open the model services section and call the V4.1 Flash API from there.
On 21 September, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, more than twenty leaders called for the most advanced AI systems to stay under human control. Germany and Spain signed. France did not.
The privacy group noyb is warning against handing European data over for AI training. A new compromise proposal in the Council of the EU would widen the legitimate interest ground.
