OpenEuroLLM: European AI alliance unveils LLM alternative to Silicon Valley and DeepSeek

A European alliance has emerged with an alternative to tech’s global order.
They call their project OpenEuroLLM. Like DeepSeek, they aim to develop next-generation open-source language models — but their agenda is very different. Their mission: forging European AI that will foster digital leaders and impactful public services across the continent.
To support these objectives, OpenEuroLLM is building a family of high-performing, multilingual large language foundation models. The models will be available for commercial, industrial, and public services.
Over 20 leading European research institutions, companies, and high-performance computing (HPC) centres have enlisted in the the project. Leading their alliance is Jan Hajič, a renowned computational linguist at Charle

"Effects of climate change outweigh the interests of developers:" UK government green light for two new oilfield permits "unlawful" as it does not take into account CO2 emissions, court rules
www.bbc.com Consent for Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields was unlawful
The judgement came after a case brought by environmental campaigners at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.

A court [in the UK] has ruled that consent for two new Scottish oil and gas fields was granted unlawfully and their owners must seek fresh approval from the UK government before production can begin.
The written judgement on the Rosebank and Jackdaw fields [off Shetland] came after a case brought by environmental campaigners, Uplift and Greenpeace, at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.
In his judgement, Lord Ericht said a more detailed assessment of the fields' environmental impact was required, taking into account the effect on the climate of burning any fossil fuels extracted.

Shell's Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea was originally approved by the previous UK Conservative government, and the industry regulator, in summer 2022.
Permission for the Rosebank oil development, 80 miles west of Shetland in the North Atlantic, was granted in autumn 2023.
In a 57-page judgement, Lord Ericht wrot

U.S. President Trump wants more drilling, but the oil market is already saturated with hundreds of idle oil leases sitting untapped in the Gulf of Mexico
grist.org Trump wants more drilling, but the oil market is already saturated
Despite President's Trump directives, oil companies can't drill if there is little market for their product.
...
Of the 2,206 active leases in the Gulf of Mexico, only a fifth are producing oil, according to records from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, which regulates offshore drilling. Oil industry executives and analysts say the current number of 448 oil-producing leases is unlikely to grow significantly, even if Trump makes good on promises to expand leasing opportunities and expedite drilling permits.
The market is saturated with oil, making companies reluctant to spend more money drilling because the added product will likely push prices down, cutting into profits.
“It’s not the regulations that are getting in the way, it’s the economics,” said Hugh Daigle, a professor of petroleum engineering at the University of Texas in Austin. “It’s true that there are a bunch of undeveloped leases in the Gulf, and it’ll stay that way if we continue to see low or stagnant oil prices.”

Mining giant Rio Tinto says wind and solar make economic sense, but LNP stands in way of its plans to save smelters
reneweconomy.com.au Rio Tinto says wind and solar make economic sense, but LNP stands in way of its plans to save smelters
Rio Tinto boss says renewables are essential for the future of its assets. But the new Queensland LNP state government may stand in its way.
The head of mining giant Rio Tinto has once again underlined his company’s commitment to renewables, but questions remain about the future of its giant smelters and refineries in Queensland after the new LNP state government put a halt to new wind farm approvals.
The decision by the Queensland LNP – first reported by Renew Economy last week – puts a pause on the approvals of four major wind projects in the state – including the 1.4 gigawatt Bungapan wind project that is essential to Rio’s plans to wean its energy intensive industries off its dependence on coal.
The decision by the Queensland LNP, which follows their refusal in opposition to endorse the previous Labor government’s renewable energy targets, has rattled many in the energy industry.
The state has the lowest share of renewables of an
Probably, and with the new president it is arguably not so easy in the near future for the U.S. I'm afraid.
I am not sure what you want to say. In a nutshell, the article says that the EU must align its energy policies across countries to increase its own manufacturing output and, thus, gaining a higher degree of independence. This is true also for the U.S. and any country or bloc imho.

Expert Says Europe's Solar Manufacturing Revival Hinges On Collaboration Among European Countries As The EU Sets New Record for Renewable Energy Use
www.pv-tech.org Revival of European PV manufacturing hinges on innovation through collaboration
PV Talk: ETIP PV chair Rutger Schlattmann discusses why fostering innovation through international cooperation is at the heart of efforts to rebuild Europe’s PV manufacturing sector.
cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/17862259
As the world races to decarbonise its energy systems, Europe faces mounting challenges in competing with global powerhouses like China and the US in PV manufacturing. To address these challenges, the European Technology and Innovation Platform for Photovoltaics (ETIP PV) has emerged as a key player in fostering collaboration, innovation and strategic policymaking among European countries.
“PV is a global technology,” Rutger Schlattmann, chair of ETIP PV and head of the Solar Energy division at Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin, tells PV Tech Premium. “The technology is developed worldwide, and some of the effort should be done across countries because these challenges are bigger than what individual countries – especially the smaller ones – can afford.”
