My rule for interactions on BlueSky (and elsewhere) is simple: I always assume it’s my interlocutor’s birthday. This means my messages are sent with kindness and compassion.

Happy to deliver a practical workshop on #computationalantitrust for the Saudi General Authority for Competition🇸🇦 today. I remain available to other agencies engaged in the Stanford Computational Antitrust project to offer workshops tailored to their legal systems.

On my way to the University of Antwerp to serve on a PhD jury and give a lecture on adaptive regulation. Always a pleasure to visit this beautiful city, especially for such a festive academic occasion.

What if antitrust’s obsession with consumer welfare is hurting US competitiveness? Jonathan Barnett shows how global power politics (especially China’s mercantilism) force a fundamental rethink of US antitrust. Essential reading. www.networklawreview.org/barnett-grea...

Access to compute, often treated as the essential upstream scarcity, is no longer the same determinant of competitive position.

In short: V3.2’s pricing does not merely lower costs, it reshuffles the hierarchy of what matters in AI.

profschrepel.bsky.social
Thibault Schrepel @profschrepel.bsky.social · 24d
A differential of this scale is not a marginal adjustment. It is a redefinition of the constraints that dominate the stack. When inference becomes this cheap, the strategic bottleneck moves.

profschrepel.bsky.social
Thibault Schrepel @profschrepel.bsky.social · 24d
Take pricing. V3.2 enters the market at $0.28 / $0.42 per 1M tokens (input/output). This is an order of magnitude below its nearest frontier-class comparators: Gemini 3 Pro at $2 / $12, GPT-5.1 at $1.25 / $10, and Claude Sonnet 4.5 at $3 / $15.

DeepSeek V3.2 offers yet another reminder that the AI stack cannot be analysed in isolated layers. The economics of one tier instantly reshape the competitive dynamics of all the others.

Antitrust is no longer a domestic game. Daniel Crane (University of Michigan Law School) maps how Great Powers use antitrust law as a geopolitical lever across tech, culture, finance, and even wartime supply chains.

These tools give agencies a concrete policy direction by revealing mechanisms that stay hidden in static analysis. I plan a few other fun activities with the Authority during my stay.

🇵🇹 I will speak at the Portuguese Competition Authority’s next Monday in Lisbon. In my talk, I will show how computational tools (and thinking) expose dynamics in emerging antitrust issues linked to GenAI, cybersecurity, plus several others.

Professors should have full freedom to experiment with AI (or not!), evaluate what works, and, hopefully, share evidence with others. In short, we should be scientific in the classroom. Let’s not follow the World Controllers. www.networklawreview.org/world-contro...

Some legal scholars are calling to “ban AI from the law faculty”. Tonight at Luxembourg Bar, I will argue that a ban is the very, very last thing we want. A short thread.
