🇩🇪 Berlin and Germany are making a bid to become Europe’s AI capital. NVIDIA GTC in Berlin brought together thousands of participants to explore the future of artificial intelligence. @JensenHuang, @nvidia's Founder and CEO, attended in person, speaking about a new industrial revolution: AI is moving beyond the digital world and transforming physical production. Germany is stepping up its push for AI leadership. At the Invest in Germany summit in October 2026, companies announced investment commitments exceeding €225 billion. @amazon plans to invest more than €16 billion in Germany in 2027, including €4.8 billion to expand @awscloud infrastructure in Frankfurt. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced planned investments in four German startups: Agile Robots, Avelios Medical, Mirelo, and Reflex Aerospace. This forms part of NVIDIA’s commitment to invest nearly $10 billion in Europe’s technology ecosystem. Germany also plans to quadruple its AI computing capacity by 2030. 💡 Another highlight was NVIDIA’s “Build in Europe” side event, featuring Howard Wright, VP of Ecosystems at NVIDIA; Sara Öhrvall of @SSEBusinessLab & SSE Ventures; Gunnar Pétur Hauksson of Treble; and Erwan Menard of @CrusoeAI. The discussion focused on building the next generation of companies in the AI era. Four key principles: 1. Start with a distinctive problem. Find a problem truly worth solving, rather than using technology for its own sake. Stay close to users so you can continually test your solution in real conditions. 2. Use computing resources wisely. You don’t need one model for everything. Match different models to different tasks and keep token costs under control. AI efficiency brings a new set of economics. 3. Build big companies with small teams. The old model meant scaling by adding people. The new one relies on AI, automation, flexibility, and productivity. The question is increasingly how much more you can build with a smaller team, alongside how quickly you can hire. 4. Strong teams need a shared mission and the right balance. Stay connected, make the mission clear, and bring together complementary skills and strong leaders. Too many “alphas” without a common direction can be a problem; too few strong leaders can be one too. Build a team that works as a whole. My main takeaway: AI is changing both what we create and how we build businesses. The next generation of major companies may start with very small teams, provided they have the right problem, technology, people, and mission.

(1/3) Hej vänner! 🇸🇪 Together with @sigmaswgroup, we’ve launched a custom-trained Swedish text-to-speech model. Unlike many TTS models built around English first, ours was trained on Swedish-language data and validated by native speakers.

Looks like I’m ready to join the team helping @elonmusk boost @Tesla's and @SpaceX stock price with fantastic PR. 😎 I own a DeLorean, forever associated with Back to the Future. Now Musk is taking us forward again with the new Tesla Roadster, SpaceX-inspired technology and demonstrations blurring the line between engineering and science fiction. A flying car for everyday use? Still an open question. But as PR, it’s brilliant. 🚀 🛒 @grok vs. @amazon After reports that Amazon blocked Grok AI agents from making purchases, Musk suggested creating an Amazon competitor. It’s not a business announcement yet, but it raises a big question: who will own the customer relationship — the marketplace or the AI agent shopping on the customer’s behalf? 💻 One developer, three Office alternatives Brandon Thomas has introduced WordCraft, GridCraft and DeckCraft — open-source alternatives to Word, Excel and PowerPoint, built with AI assistance. Not full Microsoft 365 replacements, but proof that AI dramatically lowers the barrier to building software. 🔗 github.com/storytold 🎨 PixelCrew: an AI team Founded by @gitlab co-founder Dmytro Zaporozhets and Andriy Dyadyura, PixelCrew attracted investment from u.ventures. Its vision: specialized AI agents — researchers, art directors and UX designers — collaborating on digital products from idea to design and code. 🧪 Klarent: testing becomes the bottleneck Founded by former Google engineers, Klarent develops AI agents for software testing. As AI accelerates coding, quality assurance becomes the next bottleneck — and a new business opportunity. ⚖️ Legal AI: can specialized startups win? Anthropic and OpenAI are expanding into legal AI, while Harvey continues building its specialized platform. A powerful model isn’t a complete business product. Integrations, security, trust and deep understanding of real workflows still matter. 💡 The bigger picture — and what we do at Sigma Software Labs AI makes products faster and cheaper to build, but also shortens the time they remain unique. __ At Sigma Software Labs, we’re building the next generation of AI agentic applications, combining AI capabilities with 20+ years of technology and business expertise across advertising technologies, aviation, logistics and other industries. Some startups will become independent businesses, others will be acquired, and some will lose their edge as models evolve. Others will become customer-specific AI platforms — combining specialized agents, proprietary business logic and deep integration into enterprise workflows. That’s where domain expertise can turn AI capabilities into lasting business value. For entrepreneurs and investors, the key question is: What can we build with AI before the big models become good enough to do it themselves — and what will remain valuable when they do? Back to the future. This time, there’s much less time to accelerate. ⚡ #AI #AgenticAI #Startups #SigmaSoftwareLabs #Innovation
