RB Labs CTO Robin Krambroeckers leads Europe's AI and Blockchain innovation frontier
After gaining experience in web-based engineering and artificial intelligence, he co-founded RobotBulls in 2020 and assumed responsibility for the technical operations. He led the development and implementation of the AI trading system that powers RobotBulls today.
During this period, he also contacted Greg Brockman directly and secured beta tester access to GPT-3 before its public release. He then used the model to perform sentiment analysis across tweets and on-chain transactions.
Over the years, his professional proficiency has been on full display. Remarkably, he spoke at Davos 2025, where he broke down how AI could influence financial configurations from a technical standpoint.
His work also led him to IJCNN 2025, presenting research on how machines can read unpredictable data patterns and respond in ways that make sense outside of a lab.
Now headquartered in Geneva, Robin Krambroeckers remains active, particularly in Europe, by advising startups, joining expert panels, and building products for long-term sustainability. His current focus includes the development of precision models that bring transparency to algorithmic behavior in public and private data systems. Each project he takes on is a representation of a consistent and comprehensive standard that aligns with the dynamic requirements of a rapidly evolving field.

LLMs Fail to Deliver Real Intelligence Despite Huge Investment
The trajectory of large language models like GPT and its counterparts has raised numerous questions in recent months. As companies such as OpenAI continue to pour billions into scaling these models, the fundamental issue of their cognitive limitations remains glaring. The hype surrounding LLMs, though widely praised for their fluency and utility, overlooks a critical flaw in their design. These models may perform tasks that mimic intelligent behaviour but do not actually possess the ability to think, reason, or understand. A growing chorus of AI researchers and experts argues that no amount of funding, data, or compute power will transform LLMs into entities capable of genuine intelligence. Despite ambitious plans from companies like OpenAI to expand the infrastructure behind LLMs to an unimaginable scale, their current model architecture continues to hit the same cognitive wall. At the core of this issue is the realization that LLMs are fundamentally engineered to mimic intelligence rather than to achieve it. OpenAI's recent announcements have been staggering. The company has unveiled plans to deploy up to 100 million GPUs—an infrastructure investment that could exceed $3 trillion. These resources would be used to enhance the size and speed of existing LLMs. Such efforts would consume enormous amounts of energy, rivaling that of entire countries, and generate vast quantities of emissions. The scale of the operation is unprecedented, but so too is the question: What exactly will this achieve? Will adding more tokens to a slightly bigger and faster model finally lead to true intelligence? ADVERTISEMENT The simple answer appears to be no. LLMs are not designed to possess cognition. They are designed to predict, autocomplete, summarise, and assist with routine tasks—but these are functions of performance, not understanding. The biggest misconception in AI development today is the conflation of fluency with intelligence. Proponents of scaling continue to tout that more data, more models, and more compute will unlock something that is fundamentally elusive. But as the limitations of LLMs become increasingly apparent, the vision of artificial general intelligence using current methodologies seems like a pipe dream. The reality of AI's current state is jarring: a vast, burning of resources with little to show for it. Companies like Meta, xAI, and DeepMind are all investing heavily in LLMs, creating an illusion of progress by pushing for bigger and more powerful systems. However, these innovations are essentially 'performance theatre,' with much of the energy and resources funnelled into creating benchmarks and achieving superficial gains in fluency rather than advancing the underlying technology. This raises important questions: Why is there so little accountability for the environmental impact of such projects? Where is the true innovation in cognitive science? LLMs, despite their capacity to accomplish specific tasks effectively, are essentially still limited by their design. The push to scale them further, under the assumption that doing so will lead to breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, ignores the inherent problems that cannot be solved with brute force alone. The architecture behind LLMs—based on pattern recognition and statistical correlation—simply cannot generate the complex, dynamic processes involved in real cognition. Experts argue that the AI community must acknowledge these limitations and pivot toward new approaches. The vast majority of AI researchers now agree that a shift in paradigm is necessary. LLMs, no matter how large or finely tuned, cannot produce the kind of intelligence required to understand, reason, or adapt in a human-like way. To move forward, a radically different model must be developed—one that incorporates cognitive architecture and a deeper understanding of how real intelligence functions. The current momentum in AI, driven by large companies and investors, seems to be propelled by a desire for immediate results and visible performance metrics. But it's crucial to remember that speed means little if it's headed in the wrong direction. Without a rethinking of the very foundations of AI research, the race to scale LLMs will continue to miss the mark. In fact, there's a real risk that the over-emphasis on the scalability of these models could stifle the kind of breakthroughs needed to move the field forward.

Aselsan to share space tech with Azerbaijan in strategic partnership
Aselsan proposes co-developing and localizing satellite payloads to boost Azerbaijans space engineering and position both nations as regional leaders in sovereign space systems. Türkiyes defence and technology company, Aselsan, has announced its readiness to share its advanced space technology expertise with Azerbaijan, signalling a significant step forward in the two countries' cooperation in high-tech and aerospace development. The move follows the successful first-year operation of TÜRKSAT-6A, Türkiyes first fully indigenous communications satellite, which entered orbit on July 9, 2024. Equipped with Aselsan-designed Ku- and X-band payloads, the satellite has proven Türkiyes capability to independently produce sophisticated space systems, placing it among only 11 nations globally with the ability to manufacture their own geostationary communications satellites. Building on this achievement, Aselsan intends to take part in the procurement process for Azerbaijans upcoming Azerspace-3 satellite. As part of its offer, the company is proposing not just the delivery of cutting-edge satellite systems, but also a technology transfer framework. This would enable joint development and localised production of satellite payloads in partnership with Azerbaijani engineers. This model aims to transform Azerbaijan from a customer into a co-developer of satellite technologies, laying the groundwork for a more self-reliant national space industry. The initiative is expected to strengthen Azerbaijans engineering capabilities and broaden its technical infrastructure, contributing to long-term sustainability and innovation in the sector.
