🇪🇺 Europe’s chip industry has a problem and ASML is calling it out

ASML, Europe’s most valuable company and a critical supplier to the global semiconductor industry, sold zero chipmaking systems to European customers last quarter.

Every machine went to customers in Asia or the US.

An ASML executive said Europe simply isn’t investing enough or building enough chip factories:

“We’re not selling anything at all in Europe.”

The company is also under pressure to expand production outside the Netherlands. China and India are offering major incentives to attract ASML investment, while the US is pushing for more of the company’s R&D to happen there.

A short video chronicling the development of artificial intelligence, from “Attention is all you need” to AGI, was produced utilizing Opus 5.5. The three-minute project was created solely through code, without stock footage or AI-generated images.

All frames were rendered programmatically using approximately 7,400 lines of React and TypeScript via Remotion. Visuals were drawn in SVG and Canvas, narration was provided through open-source text-to-speech, and the soundtrack was synthesized in Python. Completion required around one hour and accounted for 7% of a weekly workload.

🤖OpenAI may be turning Aeon into something much bigger than a chatbot.

New leaks suggest Aeon could have its own profile, DMs and groups effectively giving OpenAI’s AI a social layer of its own.

The project is reportedly designed to compete with AI products like Grok Bot and Muse, and could launch as early as Thursday, potentially around OpenAI DevDay.

🤖 OpenAI may already have its next AGI-level model

A new leak claims OpenAI has an internal model called Bel, reportedly a 10T+ parameter system that could become the foundation for its next generation of models.

According to the claims, Bel is the internal model behind OpenAI’s recent Navier–Stokes breakthrough, where roughly 10,000 agents produced a proposed solution to one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems in just 88 hours. OpenAI officially confirms that an internal model drove the effort, but it has not publicly identified that model as “Bel.”

The leak further claims:

→ Bel was used to help train Astra
→ It could become the base model for a future AGI-threshold system
→ It has 10T+ total parameters
→ OpenAI could potentially release it before 2027, after GPT-6.1 Astra

🗣Demis Hassabis says AI’s biggest risks come down to two things

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis says the AI debate needs “a bit of balance and calm” but that doesn’t mean ignoring the risks.

He highlights two major categories:

• Misalignment — AI systems doing something other than what humans intend, including circumventing safeguards.

• Misuse — bad actors repurposing powerful AI systems for harmful purposes.

Hassabis admits there are still major unknowns, even among leading AI researchers. The chance of something going wrong is “definitely non zero,” he says, which is why the risks need to be taken seriously.

But he remains optimistic that humans can solve these technical problems, provided we give ourselves enough time to do it properly.

That means rigorous testing, stronger international standards and cooperation between countries.

And even if the technical risks are solved, Hassabis says much bigger questions remain: What values should guide an AI-powered world? What happens to meaning and purpose?

Those decisions, he argues, shouldn’t be left to technologists alone. Scientists, philosophers, artists and other parts of society need to help shape what comes next.

🤖 GROK 5 LEAKS: Elon Thinks It Could Finally Be AGI

Elon Musk has made his strongest Grok 5 claim yet, saying it’s the first xAI model he believes has a real chance of reaching AGI.

Musk previously put that chance at around 10%, saying he had never believed that about an earlier Grok. He also described Grok 5 as a planned 6-trillion-parameter multimodal model with stronger real-time video understanding, tool use and higher “intelligence density.”

Grok 5 isn’t publicly available yet, and xAI’s official documentation currently lists Grok 4.3 as its latest major API generation, so the October timing and other leak claims remain unverified.

Ⓜ️ Meta unveils Muse Charm, a Tamagotchi-style AI device that puts a personal AI agent on your keychain.

The palm-sized 5G gadget lets users talk directly to Meta’s Muse AI agent without a phone, computer or glasses. Zuckerberg calls it a “joyful little device.” Meta plans to ship it in December, just in time for the holidays.
