Let’s be clear: the Anthropic shutdown isn’t just a tech issue; it’s a sovereignty crisis. The European Commission is scrambling to respond to the US order that forced Anthropic to pull the plug on Fable 5 and Mythos 5 globally. This is a pivotal moment. European researchers are at a crossroads: should they build their own foundation models or scramble for access through contracts? The stakes are high. Ignoring this means losing ground. Building local infrastructure requires computing power, energy, and competitive providers—resources Europe currently lacks. Who’s ready to step up? If you don’t act now, you’re already falling behind. This changes the game. The future of European tech sovereignty hangs in the balance. Don’t wait for someone else to take the lead; it’s time to make decisive moves.
