Really proud as a French, I think the government has had some success with moving to something matrix based for the public sector too. <a href="https://tchap.numerique.gouv.fr" rel="nofollow">https://tchap.numerique.gouv.fr</a><p>I just hope we end up having more wins at the EU-level, instead of massive fails like GAIA-X...

It is a step into the right direction.<p>Over time, more and more work is going to be done by AI though. At some point, it will be unthinkably slow and expensive to let humans work on anything.<p>To do *that* locally, you need GPUs and LLMs.<p>How will Europe solve these two?
