Check this [Tariff change map](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/business/economy/trump-tariff-tracker.html) to see how it actually differs from the existing Tariffs. EU has the trade deal so same rate, With this move he actually lowered the tariff on Canada, Mexico, China, Brazil, India, Japan, Kazak SA, Libya, Thailand. He did increase the tariff on Great Britain, Argentina, Russia, Iran, Iraq, and African countries. Not sure he knows this so don't tell him...

Embarrassed_Durian17

It is very unfortunate for him because now other countries can retaliate with tariffs and he can't just increase it to 30% or 45% in response to the retalitary tariffs, he's stuck at 15% without congressional approval giving the EU, India, and China far more leverage in this trade war.

Much_Candle_942

totally.. do you know in 'EU' a dinner date is planned 3 weeks ahead, and it's reconfirmed by a phone call a day before. These people are very 'planned', they won't like weekly tariffs change.

Much_Candle_942

LoL, that hypothetical entity called "EU" has been dishing out new contracts to PLTR, ONDS, SATL, RKLB etc. almost every week. Except Airbus, I'm not aware of any significant defense player that has been showering in contracts raining down. Please let me know if there's one.

Most the major EU indexes were up 30 to 50% in 2025 vs the S&P 500. Throw on top the Euro gaining significantly vs the USD on top of that and the outperformance is massive. The trend looks like it will continue through 2026 .

EU MAY FREEZE U.S. TRADE DEAL APPROVAL ON TRUMP TRIFF ´CHAOS’ Bernd Lange plans to pause ratification of the EU–US “Turnberry Agreement” until the bloc gets clear legal assurances on US trade policy under Donald Trump.

EU MAY FREEZE U.S. TRADE DEAL APPROVAL ON TRUMP TRIFF ´CHAOS’ Bernd Lange plans to pause ratification of the EU–US “Turnberry Agreement” until the bloc gets clear legal assurances on US trade policy under Donald Trump. The move follows a US Supreme Court ruling blocking Trump’s emergency tariffs, and fresh plans for new global tariffs of up to 15%, creating uncertainty for EU trade. The proposed deal—negotiated with Ursula von der Leyen—would set 15% tariffs on most EU exports while easing US imports, but keep steep US duties on EU metals. EU lawmakers want legal clarity before proceeding, warning current US policy risks “customs chaos” and could undermine the agreement.

\------------- article from bloomberg ------------------ The Justice Department’s investigation of Netflix Inc.’s proposed $72 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. includes scrutiny of the streaming giant’s behavior and whether it wields anticompetitive leverage over creators in negotiations for acquiring programming. The department is seeking to determine whether the deal “may substantially lessen competition or tend to create a monopoly in violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act or Section 2 of the Sherman Act,” according to a copy of a civil investigative demand reviewed by Bloomberg News that was sent Friday. It went to an independent movie studio, according to people familiar with the matter. The language in the demand, an administrative subpoena that hasn’t been previously reported, is the clearest sign yet that the Trump administration is going beyond a standard deal review as it investigates the merger, refuting an argument by Netflix in recent weeks that the government is not engaged in anything beyond the typical process. The broad scope of the review is also a strong indication that it will take many more months before the government decides whether to challenge the Netflix-Warner Bros. deal in court — a delay that may benefit rival bidder  Paramount Skydance Corp. “Netflix operates in an extremely competitive market. Any claim that it is a monopolist, or seeking to monopolize, is unfounded,” Netflix Chief Legal Officer David Hyman said in a statement. “We neither hold monopoly power nor engage in exclusionary conduct and we’ll gladly cooperate, as we always do, with regulators on any concerns they may have.” The application of both laws has precedent, and the investigation may not result in any federal action. But deal reviews are typically conducted by US antitrust enforcers using just the Clayton Act, which is specifically for merger investigations. The Sherman Act is a statute more typically used to target illegal monopolization by a single company such as Alphabet Inc.’s Google, Live Nation Entertainment Inc. and Visa Inc. The DOJ is asking questions about Netflix’s ability to leverage its market power in negotiations with independent content creators such movie studios and filmmakers, according to the people. Netflix operates the largest paid video streaming service in the world and is one of the largest buyers of film and TV programming in the world. Netflix is spending about $20 billion on programming this year, which is split between original series and licensed reruns. Many of its most popular original programs, including *Wednesday* and *Nobody Wants This,* are produced by third-party studios. In buying HBO and Warner Bros., Netflix would acquire one of the largest studios as well as a major competitor in streaming. The Wall Street Journal first reported that the DOJ’s review includes Netflix’s business practices and whether the deal would give the streaming giant monopoly power in the future. “We have not been given any notice or seen any other sign that the DOJ is conducting a monopolization investigation,” Steve Sunshine, head of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP’s global antitrust/competition group representing Netflix, said in a statement. The Justice Department didn’t immediately respond to request for comment outside of normal business hours. Warner Bros. declined to comment. Monopoly cases can require market concentration of more than 50%, a number that exceeds Netflix’s share with or without Warner Bros. Netflix accounts for about 9% of TV viewing in the US and a larger share of the streaming market, and its spending on programming is comparable to peers such as Disney and Comcast. Warner Bros. earlier this week committed to resume talks with Paramount after a representative of the company indicated a willingness to raise its offer price by $1 per share to $31. Warner Bros. has given Paramount a deadline of Feb. 23 to submit its “best and final” offer. Paramount, which launched a hostile bid for Warner Bros. last year, has repeatedly claimed that Netflix’s offer will never pass regulatory scrutiny in the US or Europe. Paramount also claimed Friday its tender offer has “no statutory impediment” for closing its $77.9 billion tender offer after clearing the DOJ’s second-request review process. However, the offer could still be slowed down by an ongoing review in the EU, and US enforcers in the past have sued to block deals that they had initially waved through. Paramount could also face a gauntlet of US state attorneys general.

If you hold a lot of US investments I would sell some and diversify into more EU and emerging markets. Also hold some gold and oil companies in preparation for a falling US dollar.

9gag_refugee

Did the EU court rule these tariffs as unlawful? You can't sue someone because they imposed tariffs. It's their country their rules. The trump situation is about his tariffs being unlawful in his own country. So yeah, every country/company should sue the US for damages for not keeping with their laws.

Jaded-Influence6184

It's now 15%. But at least this is consistent, he can't automatically yell out after one of his brain seizures or sundowning episodes, "100% tariffs on Canada!" Or China, or the EU, or wherever. And he can only do it for 150 days, which ends right in the midst of midterm campaigning. Meaning the Democrats chances are much improved. Because IMHO, 15% on every import will drive the USA to brink of economic collapse and it will hurts his cronies and controllers as much as anyone; he can't give exemptions for products or countries. Remember, America isn't out of the woods if Trump disappears, the people who orchestrated this whole mess are the billionaires in the shadows (not just the tech bros who are also at fault).

gagagagaNope

Should he sue the EU first given they tariff everything going in? One of the triggers for Trump was the EU tariff on american cars being 500% the tariff the US put on european cars. EU citizens are utterly deluded, this was one of many reasons why the UK left. They have no clue how expensive the EU tariffs make everything in the EU. It's one big protection racket so the EU can conntinue the deceit that all they spend is the national contributions, rather than hundreds of billions more. Those pensions aren't going to pay themselves, you know. This moron and his party were collaborating with the EU during the Brexit negotiations to have the EU tariff the UK more as punishment for leaving. He's a clown, ignore him. He's from a party that is neither liberal, nor democratic.

Consistent_Panda5891

10% was extremely low tho, a decrease to current 15% EU tariff + other areas. Otherwise 15% should have slightly negative reaction but is so negligible you are right medium term it doesn't affect too much markets(+3 days). I would be more concerned about negative actual US GDP(only +1% grow despite formula change showed this week) and 1M negative job revision after cooked data showing "surprisingly" inaccuracy...

kaboombaby01

The EU isn’t “about” to implement the capital markets union. That process will take years if it gets off the ground.

seldom_seen8814

Again, this is mainly this administration. And Trump 1 wasn't even an aberration. It was trash talk and there were grown ups in the room. Trump 2 is the aberration, because those grownups were replaced by sycophants, and Trump's persona is the aberration. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to invest in your own military, defense, and protection, and I understand that the people this administration has have caused that. But what I am saying is that it's temporary. The problem with 'decoupling' is that if Europe still values the alliance in the future, and future governments of the US are nothing like Trump, this decoupling might hurt coordination and cooperation. You also mentioned Canada. There are some issues with that because Canada is also part of NORAD, and them using different system would also hurt coordination, and the EU isn't building military bases to protect Canada. The US is. Also, the US still secures global trade shipping routes. At the end of the day, you also have to remember that defense spending is a short economic GDP boost, but doesn't provide longterm economic growth. Also, if you read history, international stock markets outperformed the US between 2001 and 2010 for 7 out of those 10 years. This isn't some unique thing. While some of that has to do with this administration, more of it has to do with the high valuations right now. Money and investors don't really care about political rhetoric as much as you think they do. They care about market fundamentals. It's also silly to pretend like the EU isn't struggling with its own populism and segment of the population that has similar demographic grievances and social/cultural grievances. Even when you remove the whole crazy Bannon thing, the sentiment is still there, which is why AOC came to talk about the importance of protecting democracy, and actually didn't come to lecture. Right now the AfD is the biggest in the polls in Germany. The RN candidate in France is polling ahead of everyone else. The Sweden Democrats are now supporting the right-wing government under certain 'conditions'. While Trump is loud, caustic, and damaging, his type of persona truly is an aberration. European populism isn't going anywhere, and in the US we're also going to keep struggling with it.

Unfortunately it looks like we need to talk with china like peer to peer. Which is hard, because china has historically grudge towards UK, France, Duch, Spanish and Portuguese.

Today, the U.S. is several times larger than the EU, so who was winning with past trade practices??

I live in Belgium, never seen the EU countries do more trade deals as this year. They finally get things done under pressure

strychninex

I doubt this keeps up at least in the EU. They seem to think that more regulation is how to get out of any problem they put themselves in and any bump from making a deal with china will simply see them gut their own industry more, while them trying to regulate speech on the internet will likely get their industrial giants basically tariff'd to the point they wont be in the US market anymore and their seemingly most steady source of revenue, fining US tech companies, is drying up as the US has told them not to pay. I think there's a real good chance you see EU based offices of big tech close and transfer to the UK or US so that the EU cant "raid" shit.

dazanion

Trump is just re-igniting the European Economy. They are making free trade deals with each other hand over fist. The US will get frozen out of the EU and Europe as a whole. India is iffy too, they have just made a deal with the EU. Perhaps Trump should call his new Peace Club his Trading Partners, as that is about all wis gonna be left.

tinycalves69

Invest in EU / Middle East / Asia Leave USA

daanluc

Actually not necessarily. All these tariff deals are a bit confusing. UK got a 10% add-on tariff deal, so 10% on top of the baseline tariff. EU got a 15% tariff limit deal on the other hand, so if the baseline tariff is already higher than 15% it just stays the same, while if it’s lower it’s rounded up to 15%.

drejzi

Now that tariffs are illegal, who will get the refund? Canada? EU?

Brokenandburnt

It's more than one unstable leader if you dig deeper. It's the goal of this administration to foster regime change in Europe and break up the EU. The national security strategy lays it out clearly if you've read it. Furthermore the US is set to sponsor far-right Think-tanks in Europe, to help in this endeavor. Steve Bannon, co-founder of Breitbart the premiere alt-right publication in the world, and Trump's campaign chief for 2016 is currently under investigation for outside interference in internal European politics. The Epstein files has laid out the bread crumbs, and our investigative services are digging. This is all verifiable by a Google with a combination of:\ Bannon connection Europe Epstein Trump All US officials visiting Europe always holds speeches that admonishes us for attacking free speech, which is wild coming from that corner. We in Europe was happy to let US lead. But now the situation has changed. Trump 1 was an aberration, a mistake that was forgivable. Trump 2 highlighted the weakness and polarization of the political system. You _cannot_ gamble the sovereignty of an entire continent on a country where one half of a binary election outcome can mean a hostile administration. The time to act isn't when the issues turns into real problems. The decoupling has started. It will take time, probably a decade or more. It doesn't mean that Europe will sever the connection to the US, it means diversification of trade, domestic tech solutions for cloud services, payment systems, domestic arms manufacturing, our own satellite network etc. And regarding our economies. The US stock markets underperformed international markets last year, and the streak has continued this year. European etf's that has suffered outflows for decades has reversed. Investments into Europe has increased, lead by arms manufacturing stimulus. Contraction has stopped and modest growth was achieved.  Governments aren't forced to shoulder all the debt from the defense build out themselves. The EU controlled SAFE fund offers cheap loans to all participants, funded by leveraging the Unions triple A credit rating to sell bonds and bills. It started with a modest €150B deposit, of that €127B is already extended among 14 interested parties. A new offering is being prepared to refill the fund. Amusingly enough Canada has been allowed to join the fund as well. The only caveat for the loans is "spend in EU", something that upset Trump. They had counted on us spending more on American weapons. I strong suggest reading the NSS, and google Bannon. The source of all right-wing propaganda flooding social media on both sides of the Atlantic begins with him.

Little_Magazine_1773

Yeah I really like Azure and if it were to be spun off.. I'd instantly buy it. Capex spending is a non-issue for me. But with everything else, I'm just not sure where the valuation is correct. The pushback against it in the EU and worldwide is real. Remember not every corporation is setup in America and it has to adhere to local laws. So maybe it's one of those stocks that's best owned in a growth etf and not individually to manage risk.

Heh, that's going to depend on your skillset+degree. I'm not sure about [the specifics](https://ind.nl/en/residence-permits/work/european-blue-card-residence-permit), but I know certain degrees will get you a visa easily. EU companies are required to look for applicants within the EU first, before considering those from outside the EU. In practice, as long as you have any kind of edge in your application (e.g. experience), people aren't too interested in whether you're from Malta or from Missouri, as long as communication is smooth with you. That said: be forewarned that not every international company will be fully English-speaking in their continental offices, and our levels of bureaucracy (read: hoops to jump through) before you're fully immigrated can be unexpectedly high.

All you need to understand is that markets try to move in the least obvious, most surprising, most implicit way. Crashing on yesterday's 10% global tariff announcement? That's too expected, the whole tariff thing has lost its charm, markets don't really care that much anymore. The Greenland related dump and pump later was more related to the extremely negative sentiment around breaking US-EU/Nato relations and potential military conflict, that was what surprised the markets, not so much the related tariff threats.

Pineapplebites100

I've gone the other way here of late. I was invested in international stocks. Did well with them. With the EU looking to borrow and spend more money, but with the US not backing those efforts, thought I better take a wait and see stance for the time being.

Anyone with an understanding of European vs. American competitiveness knows the answer. Look beyond the propaganda. The idea that the EU transformed from a debt-laden, war-affected, sluggish, bureaucratic mess into a desirable growth hub within the past year is a facade. This "trend" is a mirage.

Ha! I have a background in finance and economics so I try not to get too emotional. I'm sure part of the rotation has to do with Trump's unpredictability, and while it can be a factor, it's probably marginal, because these valuations have been out of whack for a while, and would have been so even under a Kamala presidency. Also, I think most cool heads understand that Trump and this iteration of the GOP aren't forever, and forces of populism are ubiquitous in the West. I also think people here are overestimating what a Capital Markets Union would actually do for Europe. The EU already has free flow of capital across its borders. All that it's going to do is probably help with very modest efficiency gains. What really COULD make a difference for Europe is if they had a fiscal union. That would mean permanent transfers, and essentially federalism. I don't think we're getting there, and I think that if Europe created safe haven euro-denominated assets, they would find that their growth would slow even more, and their currency will be even less competitive for the export market that they are (this would be especially problematic for Germany and other Northern European nations, as the Euro is actually a cheaper currency than the currency they would otherwise have, because they technically run surpluses). That's just my take, though.

Yes US tech always loses big to the EU 😂

TrueToBoston94

Some points you are bringing are either outdated (more and more empty mega cities got developed and its insane what they managed to do with innovative coccepts as well just look the update on those on youtube) or plain media fear induced stereotypes. I bet you see China as a polluting country while they are really making all the progress in every green technology, destroying expecations the EU have for their footprint reduction. Until I've been to China and live there I dont see any valid reason to trust them more or less than western countries. The fact they banned Huawei phones because they might by using critical data while apple was litterally sentenced to it in the past is just a proof there is a double standard in place. Also, we fear China because our countries got absolutely owned by that country, they are really good in economics and innovation as well. They do own most of the US debt afterall... China number 1

I'm surprised myself but it grew 32% last year. Reduced my weight in it and reinvested towards ex-EU though this year.

Zeronullnilnought

their forward pe is 20 and that is if EU does not pivot away from US tech

seldom_seen8814

I don't think it's going to be a lasting shift either. I think the US economy is large and resilient, and Trump isn't forever. I also think that a capital markets union isn't going to solve the EU's underlying problems.

hmmm_

CNBC now reporting that the new tarrifs are not additional tarrifs, they are a flat 10% e.g. the EU total tarrif is now 10% (down from 15%), Vietnam previously at 20% now at 10%. Clear as mud, check back in an hour.

nhalas

It is about China not EU. Mango ninja Venezuela oil and now Iran oil to slow down them.

Chris_Burns

Nobody in the EU gives a damn now, we'll be rid of most US produce within 6 years, and that movement is not likely to reverse.

DanielzeFourth

What the fuck are you on about lol. The EU doesn’t even buy $900 million in value from all Iranian exports. And the biggest category that the EU imports from Iran fruits. Iran could stop producing oil tomorrow and nothing would be felt in the EU

ShittyUsernane1222

An Invasion of Iran will destabilize: \-The US: anti-war protests, massive civil unrest due to worsening economic conditions being putting people on a breaking point \-The EU: Oil-dependency to Iran, Oil price spike and breakdown of trade in Indian Ocean and Strait of Hormuz \-Iran: Power vacuums and potential risk of a multi-faction civil war \-Israel(temporarily occupied Palestine): No more boogeyman to justify Netanyahu's position => massive anti-netanyahu protests in Israel It's the most elaborate way to shoot oneself in the foot and 🥭 won't taco on Iran war because of Israeli blackmail and Oil Industry interests.

sibalbyonshin

They got medicine 3.0 product, manufacturing, market distributors, Saudi, EU FDA approvals + Insider %, Short volume, Option Chain. $9+ call expiring next month (which is the earliest DTE) upward pressure will be hard to suppress with weeklies. $15 call is a degen move but I am also hyped

Fine-Craft3393

Wouldn’t this mean ~25% combined tariffs on most imports from EU ? 15% negotiated tariffs with EU trade deal PLUS another 10% on top? Hard to see EU not retaliating if this sticks…

Alarnos

Market manipulation because EU stock markets went up today after the USA NoNo on tariffs

RealSoil3d

Nah you lying bro. I knew the EU was gay but not THAT gay

RealPrinceZuko

Every single one. Not one person under 25 in the EU eats meat

So are we in the EU getting the tariff money we allegedly payed back?

America bends even further to the EU and Asia in order to maintain bond sales. 

Uesugi1989

The thing is a moving hazard for pedestrians due to his shape, that's why it cannot be insured here in the EU. I don't know what the authorities in tbe US were smoking to have it approved 

Marc_East

I hope EU is never sign the new trade agreement. It bad for the 🇪🇺

Any-Log-6706

In the end plenty is lost permanently unfortunately for US businesses. Some countries have made negotiations between themselves. When China ends up negotiating with Brazil for agricultural needs (soy, pork, etc), those US farmers lost those sales forever. When Canada is negotiating with other countries, guess who lost. When India and the EU recently renegotiated their tariffs, more losses. Everyone will pay the price in the long run.

Imaginary-Writer-125

Tariffs being challenged, of course that would mean that NVO, EU largest GLP manufacturer would crash

CRAZYJOEDAVOLA90

Can I get my job back then? These tariffs cost me my job in EU

Rude_Judgment7928

Bonds gonna go crazy. Tariffs while regarded were actually providing revenue to the revenueless country. Best part is the damage is done. International boycotts are ramping. Canada/EU working to limit US exposure. And now we don't have the tariff revenue.

EU ARE COUNTRIES, not us of a A. Baltics, Poland, Scandinavian. Finland, Portugal and Spain (just to name few) grew 2x or 3x more than US of A last year. And with inflation bellow 2%. NEXT

GoudaBenHur

Inflation is at its lowest point in 4 years, unemployment is at in its usual 20 year average range, and our growth is in line with the EU. You have no clue what you are talking about

I don't think Trump or his cult care about pissing off loyal allies... Canada, EU, UK... We all already have been pissed off by him

Klarna (in the EU at least) is a payment processor first and foremost. Like Venmo. I don't know anyone who would be stupid enough to use it as a micro-loan service.

Others have already mentioned that delta is N(d1) while risk-neutral probability at expiry is N(d2). Specifically, the two converges at expiration, which is why it is sometimes used to estimate probability. You are right on point 1, but that makes point 5 wrong since the two contradicts, since act (or the lack) of hedging generally do not affect what the model predicts. On a side note, longer dated options also have higher IV (due to IV>RV) point 4 is somewhat irrelevant here since US vs EU option style have similar prices (due to loss of extrinsic value on early exercise) and we're not trying to find arbitrage of US vs EU options I agree with point 3, which is why I have problem with your point 2. Since no one has a crystal ball, you can only estimate real-world probability with models and assumptions. At that point you are just giving up on trading

Morning EU

I_am_Nerman

The IRGC being officially labeled as terrorists by the EU means game on. I'm not surprised after they slaughtered over 20k of their own people. This evil regime can't be gone soon enough.

Credit checks are coming in the EU/UK btw, their main market

Confident-Web-7118

That is not correct. What I've been mentioning is that SELLAS didn't wait until the recent 2024/2025 interim analysis to add continuous dosing. They added it following the November 2022 blinded data review. In late 2022, SELLAS saw that patients were living much longer than expected and were going to outlive the original 1 year (15-dose) limit. They filed the protocol amendment with the FDA at that time, ensuring that patients could receive the vaccine ad infinitum until disease relapse. The April 2024 signature on an EU document you linked above is just a local harmonization step for late-joining European sites. The US cohort, which drives the bulk of this trial, has been under the amended continuous protocol for over two years.

EvolvingDior

Headline: >Trump secured over $5 trillion in investment pledges from allies, including EU, Japan, and South Korea, despite fuzzy math. Yeah, he also secured a FIFA Peace Prize.

Confident-Web-7118

What you're sharing is not correct. You are citing an April 2024 signature on the EU Clinical Trials site. In global registrational trials, European implementation often lags the US because sponsors must secure separate approvals from the National Competent Authorities and local ethics committees for each individual European country. A signature on an EU portal in April 2024 just marks a local European administrative step, a registry update, or harmonization for late-joining EU sites. It does NOT mean the US patients were denied continuous dosing for a year and a half. As mentioned, SELLAS filed this protocol amendment with the FDA in November 2022. Once cleared and approved by US institutional review boards, the US clinical sites (which drive the bulk of the trial) adopted the ad-infinitum/continuous dosing. SELLAS is a US-based company, and the FDA is their primary regulatory body. When a protocol amendment is filed with the FDA (which happened in late 2022) and cleared by institutional review boards, it is rolled out to US clinical sites.

Scary_Resident4982

Ad infinitum dosing was not until April 2024. Your claim of ad infinitum dosing modification in October 2022, technically October 14 when they filed with the FDA, is flat out wrong. However, I see my previous comment and your rebuke of my comment called it "false" with zero backup was deleted. April 2024 EU Clinical Trails site has the signed "ad infinitum" dosing change by Dr. Cicic on April 19, 2024. It's in black and white for you.

ReturnOfBigChungus

> How are YOU using it daily in your job? I'll give you 2 examples of things my team has built - one is a GPT that assesses integration potential to various source systems that our customers ask for integrations to. It looks at internal company documentation of our integration tools, it looks at historical services projects for previous customers to see if we've done the integration before and reads notes captured on those projects, and it reads documentation for the source system's APIs, and spits out a recommendation and any red flags. Is that useful? Absolutely. It turns 30-60 minutes of research into a 5 minute chat session. Another example, we're using a custom GPT to automate part of the process for creating statement of works first drafts for services projects for customers. It pulls transcripts of recorded calls, references internal documentation like above, and gives a nice summary of challenges and objectives. We still have to proofread and sanity check because there are often error and nonsense statements, but it again takes a ~30-60 minute task and turns it into a 10-15 minute task. So, yes absolutely it is helpful, but we're not considering laying anyone off, and we're not adjusting our future hiring plans on the basis of this. Maybe if the team was 50+ people and we had people working exclusively on those tasks, but that's just not our situation. This is a small but meaningful piece of people's day to day work that is now a little easier and faster. >The newest models are less than two weeks old and you're citing studies that are radically out of date Maybe, if the only angle you're considering here is "what can the tech do, in theory, in a low stakes science-project setting", but that's not the actual decision framework for investing in these tools. Candidly if you think that studies produced within the last year or 2 are going to be considered "radically out of date" for executive decision makers, I can only conclude that you're nowhere near a decision making level, because I can absolutely tell you that execs who were in the cohort of the 90%+ of people whose projects failed, it is not going to make one bit of difference if you come to them touting the benefits of the latest model. They've already been burned on what was likely a fairly expensive test, they've burned political and reputational capital sponsoring those projects, and their propensity to sign off on a new project has dropped dramatically. Again, I'm not taking the angle of up-to-the-minute tech capabilities, I'm talking about the actual likelihood that enterprise spending continues the way it has been over the last couple of years. >I cannot code but I'm building reliable work apps now. I would bet good money that your vibe-coded work apps are also massively insecure and riddled with vulnerabilities that would preclude ever even considering them for any critical or sensitive applications at scale. Personal assistants are great (see my examples above), but that is emphatically not the scale of usage that is needed to make this machine run in terms of supporting the multiples and valuations of companies providing these tools. Not even close. And that's not even considering the legislation that's coming into place around explainability/transparency that's going to affect all major LLM providers this year (California AB-2013 and EU AI Act), or things like the massive security vulnerability that was discovered in OpenClaw for example (CVE-2026-25253). You really think big companies are going to roll this stuff out at scale willy-nilly when they're apt to see in the news one day that the scaffolding for their agents has MASSIVE security vulnerabilities that could grind the whole system worldwide to a halt on a dime? Yeah, again, if you think that's not front of mind for CISOs and security teams you're out of your mind. For a long time this stuff didn't seem to matter, but now it's very clear that it DOES matter.

Logicalraisan

And they will likely come back because those cloud providers are not nearly as good as GCP, Azure, AWS. And these companies follow all EU laws and have for years. That doesn't change with this administration. These are global companies not US only, and they operate as such.

Automatic_Bison_3093

Ok that makes more sense, still the valuations are crazy. Company like SAP that has the whole EU business landscape by balls is valuated at 200B.
