One of the most interesting AI labs in Europe is being built out of Prague The team believe that frontier models drastically overthink, and therefore burn tokens unnecessarily So @BottleCapAI (named after Europe's greatest innovation) takes an existing open model and trains it to think less while staying just as accurate. Last week the lab released 3 models: >> Nvidia’s Nemotron: up to 31% and on average 23% less thinking, with comparable benchmark accuracy >> Alibaba’s Qwen3.8-Flash-Next: spending 39% fewer thinking tokens on average for about a point of accuracy loss >> Google’s Gemma 4: their first ThinkingCap on a Google model, with 39% fewer thinking tokens on average for just 0.15pp of accuracy The impact of what they're building is less token spend and less hardware is required. VERY COOL @JaroslavBeck @itsdavidherel
