AIE Europe Keynotes & OpenClaw ft Deepmind, OpenAI, Vercel, @pragmaticengineer , @mattpocockuk

Talkat AI Engineer Europe 2026 · 2026-04-08..04-10· [large-language-models]
slides:none on file

Conference reports specific outcomes and tools not slogans: Gemini Embeddings 2 ships as a multimodal retrieval model; DeepMind teams show AI cyclone prediction beating physics models to 9‑day landfall accuracy; Project Genie 3 creates interactive 3D worlds. OpenClaw hits explosive scale with OpenClaw: 1,142 advisories (≈16.6/day, 99 critical) and maintainers close ~60% of reports. Real deployments and metrics surface elsewhere too: Vercel’s AI SDK passes 10 million a week usage claims, an internal support agent reaches 90% deflection.
