Without creating so much buzz there is also still DeepL . They just announced an agent framework: https://www.heise.de/en/news/DeepL-presents-its-own-AI-agent...

I think AI in Europe is doable in general.

What's their unique value? How are they differentiated vs. OAI/Anthropic/etc. who have way more money/distribution/etc.?

Not being based in the US is quite a differentiator for a lot of the world

I think the obvious question is whether they provide any differentiation beyond merely their HQ jurisdiction, since I'm sure we can all agree Turkmenistan AI would be very important for Turkmenistani government agencies too..

The difference with Turkmenistan is that the EU is the world's second largest economy. Having a near-monopoly on that is better than fighting over the largest economy.

		>The difference with Turkmenistan is that the EU is the world's second largest economy I don't think that was unclear to anyone - again, I'm sure some EU entities might want EU related AI companies more than they care about any other features, just as some Turkmenistani entities would prefer Turkmenistan AI. I hope the point about why that advantage is banausic here is more clear, now. Besides those EU entities, do these companies offer any advantages compared to American or Chinese AI companies for the entire rest of the world? Licensing, rankings in specific benchmarks, etc?

They get translation in many languages right (which is important in Europe). They do not offer general purpose GenAI yet. But as they provide models for translation and text editing they have gained the trust of many companies. If they now move towards agentic AI for administrative task, they for sure have chances in procurement.
