can't wrap my head around HOW they did it exactly, and hate to admit this… but French innovation has been truly impressive to say the least back in 2016, after brexit, everyone was convinced that post-london the capital of european innovation would've been berlin 7 years later, paris is dropping OSS LLMs with torrent links seemingly every day, raising hundreds of millions for fundamental AI research, it's effectively leading social network innovation more than the Bay has been doing for in many years (which is wild), the _only_ aerospace market in europe, it's doubling down on nuclear energy, and just pushing things forward aggressively and boldly in the meantime germany still thinks the DACH market is enough for venture scale returns, bans nuclear, and thinks that regulation will somehow… save the day? and italy… oh well, italy has exactly 1 single (albeit extremely impressive) big success story, and the rest is just grifters, or hyperlocal mid stuff saddened and disappointed w/ my former country, although not surprised, while impressed & def surprised w/ france. kudos to them
