Bits & Pretzels

19 days without one of the world's leading AI models 🇪🇺 When Europe lost access to Anthropic's Fable earlier this year, it exposed a hard truth, says Judith Dada (Co-CEO & Senior Partner, Langdock & Visionaries): Sovereignty isn't about controlling every layer of the AI stack ourselves. That's what the EU has been trying, and it hasn't worked. It's about owning the crucial choke points and having enough weight at the table to negotiate access to the things that really matter, like frontier models. Her point: a European startup scene cut off from capable models, whether Chinese or American, would be competing on very unfair territory. So the question is where in the "five-layer cake" Europe can capture the most ground. Where should Europe place its bets? 👇 #bits26 #bitsandpretzels #humanafterall #homeoffounders

Some people need more than a good vibe to buy a ticket — fair enough 🎤 So here's the honest pitch: over 200 speakers you'd otherwise pay to see individually, a dedicated team of matchmakers doing the networking legwork for you, and a final day that takes the whole thing out of a conference hall and into an actual Oktoberfest tent. Most events promise one of these. Bits & Pretzels does all three. 👉 Buy your ticket now!

Picture the conference you're used to: stiff meeting rooms, name tags, small talk over lukewarm coffee 😴 Bits & Pretzels is built differently — three days of real conversations, from the stages at ICM Munich all the way to an actual Oktoberfest tent on the final day, with a beer in hand instead of a notepad. That's liquid networking, and it's how real connections actually get made. 👉 Buy your ticket now!
