Sébastien Mascha reposted thisSébastien Mascha reposted this#SPOILERALERT - je lance un projet coup de ♡ Après des années à chercher “l’idée parfaite”, j'ai fini par avoir un coup de coeur : Welcome Sculptée Paris 🎉 Sculptée c’est un projet qui célèbre le corps féminin — un pont entre l’art, l’artisanat, l’émotion… et un challenge tech. Bref, un beau concentré de ce qui me passionne (je vous entends dire - et c'est vrai- “𝐼𝑙 𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑞𝑢𝑒 𝑙𝑒 𝑣𝑖𝑛 !”🍇 patience, je cherche encore). Le pitch en quelques mots : je propose aux femmes enceintes d’immortaliser les courbes de leur silhouette grâce à un scan 3D accessible depuis leur smartphone, et d’en faire un buste d'art. Une façon de mettre à l'honneur la force du corps féminin, de garder une trace de l'un de ses passages les plus puissants. C’est une aventure 100% française, faite de rencontres inspirantes avec des artisans passionnés. Et une sacrée leçon d’humilité car: 👉 Lancer sa boite, quelle que soit l'échelle, c’est douter mille fois (#lesbalancesonsecomprend), 👉 C'est devenir multi-talent (certes j'ai délaissé la comptabilité à un expert), 👉 Et c’est s’exposer aux avis de tout le monde: – "𝐶’𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑛𝑖𝑓𝑖𝑞𝑢𝑒 𝑐𝑒 𝑞𝑢𝑒 𝑡𝑢 𝑓𝑎𝑖𝑠 !" – "𝑇’𝑒𝑠 𝑠𝑢̂𝑟𝑒 𝑞𝑢𝑒 𝑐’𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑎𝑠 𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑝 𝑒𝑥𝑐𝑙𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑓 ?" – "𝑇𝑟𝑜𝑝 𝑓𝑒́𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑒 ?" - ben c'est que jusqu'ici j'ai trouvé que des femmes pour être enceintes. Un immense merci à toutes celles et ceux qui m’ont soutenue depuis le tout début. À mon frère Sébastien Mascha, qui à mis son cerveau d'ingénieur au service du Sculptée Scan3D™ À Victor Mascha chez Revolut Business qui garde mes comptes à flots, À Pauline Verbeke, mon amie d’enfance et source d'inspiration de cette belle idée. Et bien sûr, à mes partenaires d'exception – pas de name-dropping ici mais vous êtes dans mon cœur (et dans mes NDA). 🚀Le site est en ligne. Le lancement commercial est pour très bientôt.

Sébastien Mascha liked thisSébastien Mascha liked thisDepuis longtemps, j'ai souhaité que Bpifrance soit une fintech avec un réseau physique, et non pas une banque classique avec un bras Tech. C'est ce que, je crois, nous avons réussi à faire. La semaine dernière, j'étais au Fintech R:Evolution, l'un des grands rendez-vous annuels de l'écosystème français de la fintech à Station F. J'ai eu le plaisir d'y échanger avec Charlie Perreau (Les Echos), sur ce thème. Oui, nous assumons d'être une fintech. Avec toutes les équipes de Bpifrance, notamment la direction des services informatiques emmenée par Lionel Chaine, et la direction du digital dirigée par Julien Ribeyre, nous avons noué plus de 70 partenariats avec des fintechs, 70% d'entre elles étant françaises. Bridge, Younited, Flaminem, Conformitee : ces solutions sont désormais intégrées dans nos propres plateformes de crédit. Nous ne sommes pas des spectateurs de la révolution fintech, nous en sommes des usagers directs. Et nous allons plus loin, dans trois directions : → Fonds Token : nous avons lancé en juin dernier le premier fonds d'investissement public en actifs numériques. 25M€ ciblés, de la DeFi (finance décentralisée) à la tokénisation (transformation d'actifs réels en tokens numériques), en passant par les layers (couches d'infrastructure blockchain) et le DePin (réseaux physiques décentralisés), en conformité totale avec MiCA, le cadre réglementaire européen sur les crypto-actifs. Notre conviction, c'est que la blockchain n'est pas une mode mais une infrastructure. Nous construisons le futur de la banque publique avec cette vision. → IA à l'échelle : avec le déploiement en interne de l’intelligence artificielle, 2 000 notes de crédit générées par IA avec un gain de temps de 50% pour nos équipes, Bpifrance est déjà passée à l'ère de l'IA générative, et nous encourageons les entreprises françaises à le faire également. L'heure n'est plus à l'expérimentation, il faut déployer au maximum, dans tous les secteurs. → Autonomie stratégique par l'usage : nous achetons ce que nous finançons. C'est la condition de la crédibilité. C'est aussi ce que nous partageons avec d'autres grands groupes via notre programme DAPI. → Crédit digital avec octroi algorithmique, c'est fait, nous somme leader du marché. Et nous lançons le prêt Boost pour permettre aux grands consommateurs de fuel et de carburant de traverser la crise actuelle. J'ai conclu mon intervention en rappelant que la souveraineté numérique, ce n'était pas que des beaux discours. Les critiques sont nombreuses dans ce domaine, alors que notre espace numérique est largement dominé par les géants américains. C'est une colonisation que j'ai largement pu dénoncer ces derniers mois. Avec Bpifrance, nous prouvons qu'on peut favoriser au maximum les acteurs français aussi performants. Merci aux équipes organisatrices du Fintech R:Evolution !

Sébastien Mascha liked thisSébastien Mascha liked thisFrance is migrating 2.5M government workstations from Windows to Linux. This happened a few weeks after Germany mandated open document formats across all federal, state, and municipal governments, effectively pushing Microsoft's OOXML out of public administration. The demand for sovereign productivity tooling is exploding, especially in Europe. These products are now often on par with, or outperform, their proprietary counterparts. And with rising geopolitical tensions and shifts in U.S. policy, the need for Open Source is bigger than ever. Bet on European open-source infrastructure companies this decade 🚀💪

Yann LeCun’s new AI startup AMI Labs has raised $1.03 billion at a $3.5 billion valuation to build “world models.” Founded after LeCun left Meta, the startup is developing AI systems that learn directly from real-world data instead of only language. CEO Alex LeBrun says these models aim to understand reality itself, a direction he believes could become the next major focus in AI research. The funding round drew backing from investors including Cathay Innovation, Greycroft, Bezos Expeditions, NVIDIA, Samsung Electronics, Temasek and Toyota Ventures. Based in Paris, AMI Labs plans to build teams across Paris, New York, Montreal and Singapore while focusing on long-term research before commercial products arrive.

From the Tech Desk: LeCun’s AMI Labs and the Future of AI Yann LeCun’s AMI Labs has just raised $1.03B in seed funding to develop AI that goes beyond traditional large language models. Instead of focusing only on predicting text, AMI Labs is building “world models”—AI systems that aim to understand the world more like humans do, creating richer and more adaptable representations of reality. We see this as a significant step in rethinking how AI can interact with and interpret the world. LeCun’s vision emphasizes understanding, reasoning, and learning about the environment, which aligns with the kind of innovative AI research and development we follow and contribute to. This is also the principle behind Leyu, which leverages AI to crowdsource datasets for low-resource languages in Africa, ensuring ethical data collection, empowering local annotators. This development highlights an important shift in AI thinking: the future isn’t just about bigger models it’s about smarter, world-aware systems capable of deeper comprehension and flexibility. #AI #MachineLearning #Innovation #TechInsights #FutureOfAI #LeyuAI

A very interesting article on #AI-guided coding, now called "#vibe #coding". It concludes by saying that recent analyses of this new working method reveal longer delays for open tasks. Academic studies show a measurable deterioration in code security. Surveys of developers describe a tension between interest in the tool and mental overload.

Mastering LLM (Large Language Model)

🧠"Less is More: Recursive Reasoning with Tiny Networks" — a new take on AI reasoning from Samsung SAIL Montreal. This paper challenges the classic idea that bigger is always better in LLMs. Instead, it shows how smart recursion with tiny networks outperforms huge models (like Deepseek, Gemini, Claude) on hard tasks — Sudoku, Maze, and ARC-AGI — using a fraction of the data and parameters: • Core Problem: LLMs often stumble on tough reasoning puzzles. Hierarchical Reasoning Model (HRM) was an inspired solution using two small networks, biological analogy, and deep supervision. But — is complexity required? • New Approach: Tiny Recursive Model (TRM) simplifies the design radically — using just one tiny (2-layer, 7M parameter) network and pure recursion. No biological hierarchy, no fixed-point math — just step-by-step improvement. • Results: TRM beats HRM at generalization, pushes state-of-the-art on tough benchmarks (Sudoku-Extreme test accuracy from 55%→87%, ARC-AGI-1 from 40%→45%, ARC-AGI-2 from 5%→8%). Models like Gemini 2.5 Pro and o3-mini fall short at higher cost. • Implications: Recursion, not scale, unlocks smarter reasoning on sparse data. Deep supervision and minimal architectures may hold the key for future LLM and AGI advances. • Real-world Design: TRM removes unnecessary complexity — no extra networks, math, or biological analogies. Results fuel new ways to build efficient, reliable AI for reasoning-intensive tasks. What's next for recursive models? Can smaller, adaptive architectures redefine how we build LLMs for real-world intelligence? 📄 Attached is the original research PDF for full details. Curious how this approach might influence future model architectures?
