  • ASML Just Bet €1.7B on Mistral AI's European Answer

    ASML Just Bet €1.7B on Mistral AI's European Answer
    May 25 2026
    The company that holds a total global monopoly on the machines that make AI chips just took an 11% stake in a two-year-old French startup — and that startup was founded by two of the people who literally invented open-weight AI models at Meta. Mistral AI is quietly building the thing nobody thought Europe could pull off: a sovereign AI stack where your data never touches an American server, not because of a contract, but because of physics. The US and China are the only countries with frontier AI right now, and Mistral is the most serious attempt anyone has made to change that number to three.

  • We shipped a 60 second apparel spot using Google Omni as the heavy lift

    We shipped a 60 second apparel spot using Google Omni as the heavy lift
    May 21 2026
    Google just dropped Gemini Omni at I/O 2026 and motion designers are already stress-testing it on real client work — specifically, building a full 60-second branded spot for an indie apparel brand using nothing but Omni and After Effects. The catch is brutal and very real: Omni hard-caps every clip at 10 seconds, slaps a mandatory AI watermark on every export, and has zero native integration with AE, meaning a 60-second deliverable is at minimum six separately generated clips, each transferred by hand. The stateful conversational editing is genuinely new and useful, but whether this two-tool pipeline produces something that reads as craft instead of just content is a question the field cannot answer yet — Omni was barely 72 hours old when designers started finding out.

  • Anduril Industries: $20B Army Contract At 24 Years Old

    Anduril Industries: $20B Army Contract At 24 Years Old
    May 18 2026
    A 24-year-old who once considered making food from sewage-derived petroleum just landed a 20-billion-dollar Army contract — and buried inside it is something wilder than the number itself: 120 separate Pentagon procurement processes collapsed into one ordering mechanism any federal buyer can use. That is not a weapons deal, that is a hostile takeover of how the US military buys things. Palmer Luckey wrote in his first pitch deck that he would save Western civilization, and somehow the Army just handed him the keys to prove it.
