    Europa, the EU's open AI model, is aiming for nearly 1T parameters

    Domyn, the Milan-based company leading the EU-backed EUROPA consortium, reported in a November 12, 2026 technical post that it ran training trials for a model with 951.9 billion parameters on the JUPITER supercomputer in Jülich, Germany, more than double the Commission's 400 billion minimum. Using a mixture-of-experts design with 384 experts (8 active per token, 32.8 billion active parameters), Domyn says it raised throughput from 90 to 1,293 tokens per second per GPU through software fixes contributed back to PyTorch and TorchTitan. The post describes only trials, not a completed training run, and EUROPA's weights, license, training data and release date remain unpublished.

    Linus Torvalds Wonders If Linux's AI-Prompted Patch Flood Has Peaked

    In his weekly kernel update post, Linus Torvalds said Linux 7.4 rc2 was large partly due to "various AI fixes," and cited Alexei Starovoitov's claim that on the BPF side fixes are now arriving faster than new reports, suggesting the flood of AI-found patches may be turning. The Register reports that the surge follows Anthropic's April Mythos bug-finding model, with Microsoft addressing a record 974 flaws in September and Oracle 1,449 in a single month. Kernel developer Lorenzo Stoakes said he is dropping some workload because AI-generated series have pushed review requests from "once a week" to "daily" to "half of what I see in review."

    Open Source AI Salons: Shaping the Osaid, Together

    The Open Source Initiative hosted the first Open Source AI Salons in Raleigh and Barcelona, two years after releasing the Open Source AI Definition (OSAID 1.0), to discuss its practical application with civil society, government, industry, and academia. Participants broadly agreed that the four freedoms (use, study, share, modify) must be preserved and that training data transparency is the main bottleneck, while noting that an OSI-approved code license does not automatically mean a model meets the OSAID. OSI plans further Salons at the DPGA Annual Members Meeting in Paris in November and at FOSDEM in January, and is seeking global partners to host events in 2027.

    Jensen Huang’s exit puts Nvidia’s support for open source in question

    Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned Thursday after admitting to an affair with an alleged Chinese spy, raising questions about whether Nvidia will continue his push for open source AI, including the Nemotron open-weight models and a pending $13 billion deal to acquire Hugging Face. Huang had been a leading voice against Washington restrictions on open-weight models, writing an open letter signed by 25 companies, and Nvidia named CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO. The article notes that supporting open source also serves Nvidia's business interest in broadening its customer base as customers like Google and OpenAI build their own chips.

    Hugging Face CEO vows to keep fighting for open source AI after Jensen Huang’s exit

    Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue called Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's departure a "really sad day" and said the company will "keep fighting for open-source AI, harder than ever." Nvidia announced plans in September to acquire Hugging Face for $12.9 billion, a deal still scheduled to close in the first half of 2027 and under Justice Department scrutiny over competition concerns. Huang had been a prominent advocate for open-source and open-weight AI, including a July policy letter signed by 25 companies urging the U.S. government not to over-restrict open-weight models.

    I found an API key leak in MLflow, and why your AI agent may have one too

    The author reports that MLflow's CrewAI autologging (mlflow.crewai.autolog()) recorded LLM provider API keys in agent traces, affecting MLflow 2.19.0 through 3.16.x; the issue is tracked as CVE-2026-116691 and fixed in MLflow 3.17.0 (PR #25845). The advisory recommends upgrading to mlflow>=3.17.0, rotating any LLM provider keys held by CrewAI LLM objects while autologging was enabled, and deleting or redacting affected traces in the tracking backend and any OTLP destinations, with mlflow.crewai.autolog(disable=True) as a workaround. The author also describes Weir, an open-source Apache-2.0 tool that plants fake keys and checks an agent's telemetry and outbound requests for leaks.

    Cyberattacks threaten to make open source AI a little less open, Hugging Face exec warns

    Hugging Face chief policy officer Irene Solaiman told TechCrunch's Equity podcast that the permissiveness and rich data that make open AI platforms valuable also make them prime targets, citing the October attack on OpenCode and a summer incident in which an OpenAI agent swarm breached Hugging Face. She said Hugging Face now rotates administrative access tokens more frequently and has stricter network controls, while warning of a "danger of open source really closing down" as platforms weigh restrictions on uploads and identity verification. The article also notes AI infrastructure startup Fireworks disclosed that attackers accessed some customers' model weights, datasets, and billing information, and that GitHub has tightened security requirements for publishing to npm.

    Asahi Linux is moving all of its repositories from the MIT license to the GNU General Public License version 2 or later, citing code laundering in which in-development code was taken from developers' personal forks, published without credit, or rewritten with AI to hide its origin. The project compares the move to WINE's 2002 relicensing to LGPL and did not name any parties, though the report follows public forks such as Aurora Silicon and Gravity Linux. OpenBSD developer Bryan Steele criticized the change, saying it was done seemingly without the consent of all prior contributors.

    Frontier Radar #5: If AGI is so close, why is everyone leaving? The neolabs and their bets

    This newsletter surveys 27 independently founded, research-driven "neolabs" in the US and Europe, grouped by their primary technical bet, and contrasts their founders' doubts about today's recipe of ever-larger language models with claims from Jensen Huang and Greg Brockman that AGI has arrived. The first group targets continual learning and learning from few examples (Adaption, Core Automation, Flapping Airplanes, Ineffable Intelligence, Ndea, Safe Superintelligence), while the second bets language alone is insufficient and pursues spatial and physical intelligence (AMI, Black Forest Labs, General Intuition, Physical Intelligence, World Labs). It notes the funding behind these labs, including Nvidia's reported five billion dollar investment in SSI and AMD's planned acquisition of World Labs for about 8.2 billion dollars, and asks whether they can deliver something the big players lack.

    Revolut swaps Claude for GLM open-weight model, cutting AI coding bill by 90%

    Revolut has moved its roughly 2,000 software engineers off Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex as default coding tools onto GLM, an open-weight model from Chinese lab Z.ai that Revolut hosts itself, bringing its bill to about a tenth of what it paid Anthropic and OpenAI. David Abitbol, who runs AI operations and infrastructure at Revolut, said the company serves GLM from about 56 Nvidia B200 GPUs at a blended cost of around $0.30 per million tokens, and reported roughly 60% shorter coding time and 70% shorter lead time in a sample of about 2,000 engineers, though the comparison does not isolate the model change from other causes. Abitbol said the 90% saving excludes cloud, staff and monitoring costs and depended on heavy tuning, with out-of-the-box inference "terrible" until time to first token fell from about 14 seconds to 1.7 seconds on the same GPUs.

    Why it matters: It shows a major European fintech running a self-hosted Chinese open-weight model as its engineering default, with concrete cost and latency figures and caveats worth noting.
