European startups that once chose the U.S. now skip Silicon Valley

European tech startups are increasingly staying in Europe rather than moving to Silicon Valley, as AI adoption, improved access to capital and the ecosystem effects of success stories such as Spotify and Klarna reshape the market. Swedish startups cite customer wins and higher valuations, while investors and executives describe a broader structural shift. Late-stage funding remains a challenge, but AI is seen as helping firms scale faster with less capital. Talent flows and competing views on Silicon Valley persist.

DeepSeek-R1 hallucination rate quadruples versus V3 after stronger reasoning

China AI startup DeepSeek\'s latest reasoning model, DeepSeek-R1, recorded a much higher hallucination rate than its previous model, according to an evaluation by Vectara using the HHEM 2.1 benchmark. DeepSeek-R1 logged a 14.3 percent hallucination rate, about four times DeepSeek-V3\'s 3.9 percent. Vectara said cross-checks using Google\'s FACTS methodology showed a stronger tendency to add unsupported information, a concern as AI agent tokens automate crypto analysis and trading.

From big tech to startups, software ecosystem built for AI agents gains momentum

Moves by companies to develop software designed for AI agents, rather than people, are taking shape. AI agents have so far been trained to use software the way humans do, but some firms are building separate systems tailored to agents. Anthropic has introduced a standard to link AI systems with tools and data sources. Salesforce announced a platform that lets agents access core software directly, while others add payments infrastructure for agent shopping.
