Elon Musk wants Elon Musk’s companies to finance Elon Musk’s AI with Elon Musk’s money

by

Elon Musk is clear that his most immediate future passes, yes or yes, due to artificial intelligence. The eccentric magnate launched two years ago Xai After resorting, among others, the resources of Tesla and Spacex to raise funds. Much has rained since then. Elon Musk already has an AI model in the market, Grokand wants to continue growing to stand up to OpenAi, Google and company. For that he needs resources, and something else, but if something has the richest man in the world they are plenty of resources. So he has put the machinery in motion. -He Elon, can you give me money? – Of course, Elon. – Thank you, Elon. The billionaire has us accustomed to mobilizing Spacex resources to finance their movements. For example, Spacex gave him a loan of 20 million dollars to finance Tesla in its first measures. Also He used Spacex resources to finance The Boring Company And even asked $ 1,000 million to face the purchase of Twitter. Why use Spacex resources? Because it is his company, he founded it with 100 million dollars from his own pocket and is not a public company, Ergo is not participated and does not have to ask the investors permission. With Tesla, a company that is also CEO, the situation is different. Tesla is a public company and has a shareholders’ board that must approve the mobilization of resources. It is true that It is a Board of Shareholders faithful to Muskbut it is a process that cannot be skipped. However, in 2016 he used his Tesla actions to Buy Solar City Company of renewables of which Musk was maximum shareholder and Lyndon Rive, his cousin, the CEO. Inverters did not like it too muchby the way. More money. Knowing that, it will surprise us less than Spacex has approved Invest 2 billion dollars in XAI, the artificial intelligence company that Elon Musk is (surprise) founder and CEO. This investment is part of a capital collection of 5,000 million Announced by Morgan Stanley Last month. It is also the largest investment that Spacex has made in another company and the first in XAI (of which you have record, of course). Grok now has an anime avatar. This, specifically | Image: Xataka Android In the background. The reality is that these movements have the objectives to increase the capabilities and assessment of XAI, as well as allow their operations to be maintained. The latter will see that it is still complex. With regard to “artificially” the valuation of XAI, the most striking movement was undoubtedly The purchase of X by XAI. That increased the valuation of X to 33,000 million dollars and that of XAI to 80,000 million dollars, according to Musk. It is no accident that Grok is integrated into X, which recently to the Starlink customer service support and that Musk wants to use it as the basis for optimus robots. Everything revolves around Xai into the spearhead of his empire. But need more. Elon Musk wants to compete against Google, Openai and Anthropic. Your latest model, Grok 4has received excellent scores in the benchmarks, although its impact has not been the same as that of Chatgpt or Gemini. Beyond that, XAI has a small big problem: AI is expensive and spends money in abundance. XAI has spent billions of dollars in data centers (Some with 200,000 gpus nvidia hopper) And he intends to create a superordinate, Colossuswith a million GPUS Blackwell. The problem, of course, is to get between 50,000 and 62.5 billion dollars that would cost this transactionespecially after recent controversies with Grok. Not to mention that maintaining and developing Grok costs Xai about 1,000 million dollars per month. For us to get an idea, it is estimated that XAI will spend $ 13,000 million in 2025, but will only generate 500 million dollars in revenues.

He is beating passenger records despite Ouigo and Iro

by

Renfe has had to apologize. He has done it in the mouth of Álvaro Fernández, its president, who has criticized the information in which he points to “rail chaos”. He has done it just when we have known another fact: Renfe never added as many passengers as in the first half of this year. 277.4 million. That is the number of travelers who have climbed to Renfe trains in the first six months of the year. The figure has been advanced by the company itself Who says they have risen to 3% more travelers compared to the same period last year. About 9 million more passengers. In this semester, Renfe has broken another record. June 20 was the day that more people were mounted on a company train, counting 135,600 travelers in 24 hours. It is an increase of 7,170 users (5.58%) compared to the previous record. The key. To achieve this growth, high speed has been key. According to Renfe, the impulse has been generated by the greatest offer from the exits from Madrid to Extremadura and Galicia, passing the latter through Castilla y León. In fact, it is specified that high speed has moved in the first half of 2025 to 17.9 million travelers between January and June 2025. One that is 10.9% higher than that recorded in the first half of 2024 when 1.8 million less passengers traveled. Yet. Passenger record figures arrive at a complicated time for Renfe. The first half of July has been marked by all kinds of delays. Some impossible to solve, such as the meteorological issues that stop the trains in Catalonia, but also for delays that They have hurt the company’s image. Just a few days ago, a Renfe train stopped again in Toledo. There, Adif has a black point that evidenced the problem of Spanish infrastructure at the beginning of the month when that same place caused the fall of the rail network in southern. An Ouigo train suffered a failure in its systems that forced a stop. This stop had an impact on the accumulation of trains in a small section, overloading the network and burning the Renfe Avant systems. The passengers 13 hours were passedNight included. Importual? It is not, much less, the only case. The Spanish rail system is winning the fame of unpunctual although its president says that 88% of trains reach their destination in time. And not only that, this places the company among the three most efficient in Europe, only behind the rail systems of Switzerland and the Netherlands. In Xataka We have asked Renfe what is the definition of “punctuality”, since the company extended last year the margin of time before the client so that he can request the total or partial refund of the ticket. Of the 30 minutes that were common until 2024 They went to 90 minutes from margin. So far, Renfe has not given us an answer. A 2025 controversy. That was last year but if something has characterized the first semester of 2025 have been the controversies that revolve around the company. On January one, what would come later. With the change of year, the new trains for The Madrid-Galicia route were detained. In the following months, more delays would arrive, such as those mentioned in July but also in April and May. 16,000 passengers were affected for the theft of copper on the railway tracks and the problem of an Iryo train with a catenary caused a domino effect that It resulted in more delays. To this we must add the controversies in the Galician corridor, with neighbors who protest the High -speed train stop suppression In a Zamorana station. EITHER The proposal of the mayor of Vigo to skip stops in Castilla y León for the train to arrive before.

We believed that Chatgpt was just a very capable chatbot. Openai has just turned it into something very different: a real agent

by

We have been talking about artificial intelligence agents for a long time, but Openai has just converted that conversation into something much more tangible. The company has presented Chatgpt Agent, a function that turns its popular assistant into something more autonomous: now it is able to execute complex tasks using a virtual computer, with tools that allow you to navigate, program or even make decisions. From Agent Operator. At the beginning of the year it presented Operator, a tool that allowed ChatgPT to interact with web pages. Then Deep Research arrived, focused on writing long reports from multiple sources. The background idea was clear: go beyond the conversation and approach real tasks. What has been presented today is something like a tool that unifies all these previous advances. During the demonstration, those responsible for the project raised a daily situation: organizing a trip to attend a wedding. The agent was able to understand the context, find hotels, propose gifts, take into account the weather, the clothing code and even remember that a suit had to be bought. He did it by analyzing the message, accessing the web and acting step by step, as a person would. The difference is that everything happened within Chatgpt, without the need to alternate tabs or give instructions one to one. A virtual computer for AI. The key is that the agent is not limited to responding to text: it operates within a kind of virtual computer that Openai has given access. You can use a text browser to read pages quickly, a visual browser to interact with buttons and forms, and even a terminal to run commands, generate code and manipulate files. You can also work with spreadsheets, presentations, and access services such as Google Drive, Calendar or Github if the user authorizes it. What is under the hood? The model that drives chatgpt agent (specifically developed for this function, although without official name) was trained with complex tasks that required to combine multiple tools. Openai used reinforcement learning, the same approach that you already use in its reasoning models, to teach you to choose when to use the browser, the terminal or an API. The idea was to develop a solution capable of accurately deciding how to act based on each objective. In development.

It is a subtle shortcut to self -destruct according to psychology

by

“Never enter dispute with a fool, will drag you at your level and win you from experience,” a phrase attributed to the American writer Mark Twain. In this way, this type of maxim has reinforced the idea that avoiding conflict is a sample of wisdom or self -control. Popular culture, family environments and even some educational speeches have promoted silence as a way of preserving harmony. However, what happens when to shut up ceases to be a specific strategy and becomes a life standard? Is it really mature who avoids the confrontation at all costs, or simply fears the consequences of raising the voice? When shutting up becomes a habit. “Shutting up does not make one mature, but submissive,” writes the psychologist Luis Miguel Real Kotbani In a column published in Ethic. There he states that the silence sustained in uncomfortable situations, far from guaranteeing harmony, can end up becoming a silent conviction: a strategy that begins with the intention of preserving peace, but ends up nullifying voice and personal needs. This pattern is not limited to relationships. It is replicated in work, family and friendship environments, where many people choose not to express their disagreement to avoid tensions. “Every time you choose silence so as not to bother, you give them the message that your needs are worth less,” says Real, who links this practice with a progressive loss of self -esteem and agency. Deeper roots. From the clinical look, the habit of shutting up has multiple causes. Psychologist Mario Arzuza, cited in the chroniclerHe points out that many people who avoid the conflict have been educated in environments that prioritize tranquility over authenticity. “This behavior is usually linked to low self -esteem, need for approval or fear of rejection,” he explains. Other individuals have grown in contexts where the conflict was associated with danger: screams, violence, abandonment. In these cases, any confrontation, however minimal, can activate disproportionate emotional responses. According to the chroniclerthis dynamic is frequent in people with deep insecurities or history of emotional trauma. Psychopedagogue Sylvie Pérez, In an article from the Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) University (UOC)warns that the avoidance of the conflict is usually learned in childhood, when adults use silence as a form of punishment. This practice, known as “Ice Law”, generates in children feelings of guilt, rejection and misunderstanding, and can install patterns of emotional submission that are dragged to adulthood. The drift of silence. In his article the real psychologist Also alert about the cumulative impact of silence: “Today you shut up in a small discussion, tomorrow swallows something bigger, and in the end you have been in a relationship where the only way of not generating conflicts has been to disappear yourself.” This prolonged silence affects not only the relationship with others, but also with oneself: the person ceases to wonder what he wants or needs, and lives automatically, disconnected from his own voice. In addition, systematic silence can erode links. Sheila Heen, conflict management specialist of the Harvard negotiation project, holds in Harvard Gazette than avoiding difficult conversations at all costs weakens relationships. “It’s not about discussing all the time, but either of never talking about what hurts. That chronic avoidance destroys the quality of the link,” he says. The limit: Does this relate to the ice law? Silence as a strategy to avoid conflicts should not be confused with the ice law. While the first is a form of self -preservation (although harmful), the ice law implies an intentional behavior, which seeks to punish the other with silence. This is the New York Timesin an article where this practice is described as an “emotionally punitive form” that can produce both damage and direct aggression. “Answering silently is a punishment, you recognize it or not,” says psychiatrist Gail Saltz, cited in the same medium. The damage is tangible: research by Professor Kipling Williams (University of Purdue) shows that being ignored in the brain the same areas that are activated before physical pain. In family contexts, As the UOC points outthe ice of ice applied to children can have lasting effects on their self -esteem and emotional development. In that sense, although shutting up for fear does not equal to manipulate with silence, both practices share a common substrate: the lack of genuine dialogue as a means to solve tensions. The difference lies in the objective and the direction of the damage: in one case, who is silent; in the other, who is withdrawn the word. Breaking with years of silences is not easy. But possible. The key is to develop assertive communication skills, which allow to express what one thinks and feels without aggression, but also without renunciation. The psychologist, Luis Miguel Real, proposes to start with the small: say in a conversation, say what you want to do in a plan, mark a subtle limit. From psychology, it is also recommended to work the tolerance to discomfort, practice emotional regulation exercises and, in more entrenched cases, resort to professional help. From the chronicler They suggest Identify irrational thoughts that feed the fear of conflict, while Harvard Gazette They underline The importance of reflective silences (not punitive), as a tool to think before speaking and not to evade the important. Avoiding conflict is not always wise. Sometimes it is a form of surrender. And the price of that surrender can be the loss of one’s voice. As real summarize: “Talking, putting limits, saying what you think, is not to create problems: it is respecting you. And who cannot deal with your voice, may not deserve your presence.” Shutting up does not guarantee peace. Just postpone the conflict or internalize it. The real challenge is not to avoid it, but to learn to face it without fear, with honesty and respect. Because, in the end, what is not said, does not disappear: it rots inside.

Galicia has advised not to bathe in the most famous hot springs of Ourense. His mayor has responded to the Fraga in Palomares

by

Is it worth an image than a thousand words? Manuel Fraga believed so. That is why in 1966, when he served as Minister of Information and Tourism of Franco, he starred in one of the more emblematic moments (and Castizos) of the recent homeland: a swimsuit was put and accompanied by the then US ambassador, Angier Biddle Dukethere was a dip near Palomares. It was only a few weeks that several thermonuclear bombs had fallen in the area after the collision of a B-52 bomber and an American tank plane and (of course) an image of a certain normality had to be transmitted. If Fraga himself bathed without fear of radiation why were people going to do it? Almost 60 years later the mayor of Ourense, Gonzalo Pérez Jácomeit seems to have reached the same conclusion as your compatriot. To clear the doubts about the health of Las Termas do Muiño, one of the most popular claims of the municipality, the councilor decided to cope some bermuda and take a bath before the cameras. Of course, instead of Angier B. Duke to him accompanied his own councilor in charge of the portfolios of tourism, arts and celebrations and thermal management, Noa Rouco Ferreira. Both in a swimsuit, both arranged to the dip. “As if we would return 60 years ago” Click on the image to go to Tweet. “Five, four, three … we are here, in the hot springs of Muiño”, Pérez Jácome starts in a video in which he poses next to Rouco and a huge poster of the Xunta that advises the bathroom in the area. Before following the mayor realizes that without a shirt or shirt he has no way to hold his micro in the flap, so he chooses to hook it on the hairs of the chest. Solved that small logistics, continues, pointing to the poster with the Galician government logo. “It would be very long to explain all this regulation, which is a roll. You will see through our social networks and different informative channels what the situation of the hot springs is. The fact is that this is the recommendation of the Xunta,” insists pointing the poster. “And as if we came back 50 or 60 years agowith that of Palomares, here the councilor and a server, the mayor of Ourense, we are going to take a bath. “ At that point the video is cut to show Jácome and Rouco in the water. “Natural paradise, incomparable in the world. I pay attention to me, pay me attention. You will see, you will see,” proclamation The mayor of Ourensana Democracy (DO) lying in the water with his partner. The piece lasts 68 seconds, enough for the ‘bathroom in Palomares’ of Jácome has become news in the rest of Spain and the video fly in networks, something that is already accustomed. Throughout the last years the Galician has gained impact beyond the local chronicle by The music video with which his party was presented to the elections, a piece in which he versioned the Village People; Your crusade Against the bollards either The teleworking and his hubby by The costumes. Now adds a new reason: a picture with echoes of the Fraga bath in Palomares and The jacuzzi of Jesús Gil. In the background there is something more complex: the status of the Termas do Muiñoa set of swimming pools almost in the bed of the Miño very popular in Galicia. In June the Xunta He warned That the area does not have the statement of thermal water or complies with the characteristics to be declared a “bath area”, which warned: “As long as it is not regularized, from the Xunta the City Council is requested to place a signage that reports the recommendation of the recommendation of Refrain from the bathroom“ For the Consistory things are different. In A statement released after the bathroom of Jácome insists that the “discrepancy” with the Xunta is only of “administrative, non -sanitary” character and insists that the bathroom does not represent any risk. “The hot springs maintain the same usual health, what has changed is the regulations of the Xunta by introducing new administrative requirements, than non -sanitary,” emphasize The ourensana democracy leader, who ensures that the “periodic analytics” that the City Council performs the health of the waters. For now, his media dip He has achieved something: That Media Spain is talking about the hot springs of Muiño, something that does not come to them badly now that the installation has returned after several months closed by the floods of the Miño.

If the question is how to make a team more productive, the answer according to Jeff Bezos is clear: with two pizzas

by

Amazon is one of the world’s largest companies and Jeff Bezosits founder and former CEO, one of the richest people. In a company like Amazon, productivity, Talent management and the synchronization of the equipment is very important and that everything flows in the best possible way a rule as curious as useful and interesting is responsible: that of the two -pizz teams. The “problem” of the scale. As Explain Daniel Slater, World Innovation Culture Director at Amazon Aws, When Amazon began It was structured “to achieve rapid agility and offer constant value to customers.” Amazon was, at that time, an “inventing machine.” That is why hiring and organizational structure were prioritized. The problem is that Amazon, which started as an electronic commerce, climbed. Climbed, and how. When the company was smaller, the teams “were more centralized and closely linked”, but as the firm began to grow this structure resulted in greater slowness and inefficiency. To face it “we radically change our technical architecture to what is known as Microservice architecture“, explains Slater.” We discourage our monolithic architecture in a vast network of unique and independent services “, which allowed to launch news and offers faster. But that’s not all. According to Slater, to maximize the ability to remain close to users and their needs, at the same time that new products and services are launched, Amazon invented a new way of organizing the equipment. Instead of large teams, the firm opted for smaller and agile teams capable of taking advantage of the architecture of microservices. For this, a fairly peculiar rule was used. The teams of two pizzas. The concept is quite simple and is that no team should be so large that more than two pizzas are needed to feed it. Not because A Amazon make a hole in accounting Buy a median of three more ingredients in the nearest Domino’s, but because “the smallest teams minimize the lines of communication and reduce the general expenses of bureaucracy and decision making.” It is assumed that with Two pizzas They can eat about ten people, although that is an opinion that would be willing to fight with nails and teeth. In any case, “the two -pizz teams” is a somewhat searched form to refer to teams of less than ten people. This size “allows two -pizz teams to spend more time focusing on their customers and constantly experiencing and innovating for their benefit,” says Slater. Does the team need three pizzas to eat? Well, then it’s too big | Image: Pexels The advantages of small equipment. As they expose from Amazon, small teams increase “involvement and training” and reduce the known as Ringelmann effect (Individual productivity is reduced as the group becomes larger, and vice versa). Citing the Hackman and Vidmar studyAmazon says that the smallest teams “also increase employee satisfaction” since “in large teams, individual contributions are less recognizable and individual involvement on specific areas becomes more diffuse.” These small teams, say from Amazon, also allow to experience faster and reduce the cost of failure. A TEAM, A PRODUCT. How do you implement these “two -pizzas teams”? Easy: a equipment for each product or service. In the words of Daniel Slater: “Instead of maintaining complex systems or solving problems that cover multiple services, business lines or customer segments, two pizzas equipment focus on a single service or offer, and only on customers that use it. This unique approach favors effectiveness and scalability.” More pizzas. If the team grows, something likely if the needs increase, “we look for ways to divide it into separate equipment of two pizzas that work in a sub -section of the service with a single subprocess.” However, from Amazon they are aware that this structure is not for everyone and has its counterpart. “Two -pizz teams are not perfect, and are not immune to limitations; an example is that with so many autonomous teams, of a single process, which They work quickly To meet the needs of their own clients, there is the risk of duplication and development in silos, “says Slater. It is also necessary to collaborate between teams so that rapid experimentation is effective, as well as for Share errors and learning.

What do financial experts think about holidays

by

Vacations are one of the moments most expected of the yearbut they are often planned with a short -term vision, without taking into account The financial impact which will have in finance during the rest of the year. Financial Trainer José Luis Díaz He warned in Men’s Health About a common problem: many people enjoy their vacation on credit, assuming loans that then take months and even years to pay. This generates a financial burden that destabilizes the annual budget And you can turn today’s rest into a source of Anxiety from September. To avoid this situation, Díaz emphasizes the importance of integrating holidays into annual financial planning. “Planning a specific vacation budget is fundamental in good personal financial management,” said the expert. Vacations as a fixed expense He rest and disconnection They are necessary to maintain physical and mental well -being throughout the year, and vacations are The best opportunity To carry it out. Therefore, Díaz proposes to banish the idea of holidays like a luxury or a whim and start considering them as an annual fixed expense necessary For our well -beingat the level of the mortgage, the Light receipts or the food. The finance expert maintains that the big mistake is to consider the holidays as an occasional expense or an award that is paid after the trip. By turning it into a fixed expense, the cost can be distributed throughout the year, thus avoiding having to borrow and allow “enjoying without guilt because you already have the money away and destined for that end.” This change of mentality facilitates the anticipation of spending and It gives financial tranquility. According to Díaz, “my recommendation is that you dedicate between 5-10% of your annual income to vacation, depending on your priorities and financial situation.” In concrete terms, “if you win 30,000 euros a year, allocate 1,500-3,000 euros per year to vacation is reasonable.” The Financial experts of singular bank They also advocate this 10%savings percentage, and add an alternative proposal to calculate savings for vacations. After subtracting all fixed or variable expenses to the monthly salary, the amount available for savings is obtained. It is not recommended to allocate more than that 60% monthly savings capacity to vacations. In other words, if after discounting all the expenses of that month (mortgage, consumption invoices, food, etc.), you have 300 euros, you should allocate 180 euros that month for your vacation. The remaining 120 euros should be kept as savings or for unforeseen events. Dedicate a percentage of the annual salary The problem is clear: the lack of forecast when planning holidays makes Every year more people borrow To “enjoy” your rest. According to Data from the Bank of Spainin the first quarter of 2025 They have increased In 14% the application for consumer loans, which reveals the need of the Spaniards to resort to loans to finance vacations. In addition, this need for extra financing can make errors incurred such as financing vacation with credit cards, which can lead to incurring additional cost overruns since the interest rates used by these credit systems can reach up to 18%. So this type of indebtedness to finance a few weeks of rest is too expensive and harms future financial health. Consider holidays as a fixed expense allows Plan savings reserving a certain amount of money per month for that purpose, in the same way that you reserve it to pay the mortgage fee. In that sense, and so that savings do not imply one more element of financial stress, what the expert recommends is not to set a fixed amount per month, but a percentage of your income. Thus, if your monthly income is variable, Savings will also be to the same extent. With adequate planning, it will be your economy who will decide the realistic budget for vacations that you can affordpreventing the “I deserve it” to submit to your I From the future to unnecessary financial stress. The investor and financial advisor Javier Linares also coincides in that strategyalthough he does not venture to give a specific percentage since each personal situation is different. What it does recommend is to make a previous budget with all monthly income and expenses. In this way you can determine the percentage of savings that you can allocate every month to the holidays. “It is necessary to know your expenses and income, to be able to save money,” says Linares. Create automatic savings habits: “Pay yourself first” James Clear, author of the Best Seller ‘Atomic habits‘And one of the people who knows the most about creating habits, says that Trust in willpower It is the most direct path to failure. That is why Díaz proposes to eliminate internal negotiation with a proven method: automate savings. “As soon as you charge, which is automatically transferred 5-10% to a separate account of difficult access,” says the expert. In this way, the savings becomes a routine Automatic in the “page yourself first” so that this saving percentage ceases to be available in your “available” cash to spend. ALFRED GIRALTfinancial advisor, assures That this strategy puts savings as a priority and helps allocate part of the income to a project. “Although adopting ‘page yourself first’ can be challenging, the benefits in financial safety and stress reduction are clear and durable,” says Giralt. Opting for that strategy, it is reduced Financial stress. “Save must be like breathing financially, not something you do ‘when money is left over’, but Something you do to live quietly and have freedom of decision, “says Díaz. The key is to create savings systems that work without remembering or negotiating. Planning and saving are only two parts of the process: controlling expenses during vacations is also essential. Again, Díaz recommends not falling into the justification of “I deserve it” when you are already enjoying your vacation and stick to the initial budget to not compromise financial stability after the trip. Díaz recommends relying on technological tools that simplify budget control without turning it … Read more

Russia is expanding up to five secret nuclear bases

by

At the end of May some satellite images discovered which were Russia’s intentions on the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. Now, in the midst of nuclear tensions in the wake of the war in Ukraine, new images from space have revealed an alarming pattern of expansion and renewal in five Russian nuclear bases that until now operated largely outside the international scrutiny. Secret, or almost. I told it in an extensive INSIDER REPORT Through the images captured by the American company Planet Labs and analyzed by experts in strategic armament. The photographs show a series of new structures, reinforced roads, buried bunkers and multiple security perimeters that point to a systematic and stealthy investment in Russian nuclear infrastructure. Although part of these improvements could be considered ordinary maintenance, the scale, the rhythm and nature of the constructions reveal something deeper: a reaffirmation of Russian nuclear power as deterrence toolinfluence and survival before the decline of their conventional forces. Asipovichy base Asipovichy: The new nuclear enclave. The berous base of Asipovichywho has gained notoriety since Putin and Lukashenko They announced What Belarusia could house Russian nuclear weapons, now presents triple fence, camouflaged inputs, covered ramps for eye discharge and a hidden bunker between trees. Although there are still no indications of active presence of eyelets, the infrastructure is ready to receive them from major deposits, such as Briansk’s. A large platform and a new road suggest that rail transport It would be the chosen logistics medium, in coherence with Russian standard procedures. In addition, a Second complex In the same city shows mobile pitchers from Iskander missilescapable of carrying nuclear heads, housed in recently enlarged hangars, which reinforces the idea of a fully functional tactical node. Gadzhiyevo base Gadzhiyevo: Intercontinental missile hiding place. To the north, in the naval base of Gadzhiyevonear the Arctic, the images show an intense activity in the mountainous complex where nuclear weapons are stored For strategic submarines. Previous photographs had already captured the raid of eyelets next to specialized cranes, and the new constructions seem to be hangars or workshops for missiles not yet armed. A few kilometers, the Russian nuclear ballistic submarines of the northern fleet They expect cargoes In specially equipped springs, remembering that from this enclave attacks capable of devastating entire cities in minutes can be launched. Kaliningrad base Kaliningrad: The undercover arsenal. In the Russian enclave of Kaliningradbetween Poland and Lithuania, a deposit with multiple levels of fence has aroused for years the Analysts’ suspicions as potential tactical nuclear weapons center. The last Images confirm reforms in buried bunkers and the appearance of new structures, such as a small building identical to another in Asipovichywhose function is still not clarified. A few kilometers, a nuclear maintenance unit Inherited from the Soviet era, it gives even more weight to the hypothesis of an active storage of nuclear weapons, reinforcing the latent threat in one of the most sensitive areas of the NATO eastern flank. Kamchatka base Kamchatka: Latent threat to Alaska. On the other side of Eurasia, the remote Kamchatka Peninsulain front of Alaska, hosts facilities for the deployment of the Poseidon nuclear torpedoa weapon propelled for atomic energy capable of traveling thousands of kilometers under the sea before detonating. Although it is not clear if it is operational, the Recent constructions In this base (among them Two new buildings possibly used as ojas stores) indicate a sustained advance in their preparation. The architectural similarity with other nuclear bases and the presence of triple fences in some structures reinforce the idea that atomic weapons or their launch systems are also housed here. Novaya Zemlya: Risen test base. Finally, in the Arctic Archipelago of Novaya Zemlyahistorical Nuclear Test Center of the Soviet Union and scenario of the detonation of The TSAR pumpthe images capture a remarkable Base expansion Severny support. New buildings and tunnels excavated in the mountain, along with old sealed accesses, suggest a revitalization of the complex as Experimentation Center Subcritic or as a platform ready for an eventual resumption of nuclear tests. Although Moscow and Washington maintain a similar policy of keeping these places operational without rehearsing high -performance weapons, the intensification of work in Novaya Zemlya fems fears about the possible return of active essays. The rebirth of a career. The simultaneous modernization of These five basessome completely new (distributed between the Baltic, the Arctic, the heart of Belarus and the Pacific Coast), illustrates how Moscow is reconstructing its strategic position under the pressure of A prolonged war In Ukraine and deterioration of its power conventional. With an estimated active arsenal in 4,300 eyeletsthe major in the world, Russia is more and more relied on in its nuclear heritage as a shield and sword before NATO and the United States. While and how We have countedWashington continues with its own program of renewal of the nuclear tripod, and China increases discreetly his Atomic capacitythus configuring a global scenario where nuclear balance becomes the axis of deterrence, threat and strategic survival.

Nvidia says that China has the best open source AI in the world. These praises have a very clear intention

by

Jensen Huang, the co -founder and general director of Nvidia, is in China. At the end of last week He met with Donald Trump with the purpose of defending the interests of his company before an administration that has drastically restricted your business In the country led by Xi Jinping. During the last fiscal year, which expired on January 26, 2025, China represented approximately 13% of total income of Nvidia with a figure of about 17,000 million dollars. In practice, this Asian nation is the third best client of this company only behind the US and Taiwan. The decisions made by Jensen Huang during the last months clearly reflect that he is determined to defend your presence in this market. And he is doing it. A few hours ago he has made a statement during his visit to the International Exhibition of the China Supply Chain, in Beijing, which is worth not overlooking. Jensen Huang does not give stitch without thread “The models of artificial intelligence (AI) Open source of Deepseek, Qwen and Kimi are the best reasoning models in the world today. They are very advanced. ” Huang has pronounced These words during a talk with Wang Jian, the founder of Alibaba Cloud, the AI and cloud computing unit of this gigantic Chinese company. And this statement has not arrived at any time. Whether or not, objectively, the three models mentioned by this Executive are very competitive, as the reports of Demodazzle either Mediumamong others. The really interesting thing is that Jensen Huang has praised these Chinese models at a very delicate time for Nvidia. At a time when You need to strengthen your complicity with Chinese companies to which they have been selling their GPU for several years. Last week Jensen Huang got a promise from Donald Trump: Nvidia can sell again Your H20 GPU To his Chinese clients very soon. The reception that this chip initially received was very good even though its capacities are clearly lower than those of the other proposals for this company. Jensen Huang has praised these Chinese models at a very delicate time for Nvidia. At a time when you need to strengthen your complicity In fact, initially the Department of Commerce allowed its sale in China because this integrated circuit met the restrictions it had imposed. And despite its limitations Their sales grew by 50% quarter to quarter since it arrived in this market in mid -2024. Everything was complicated for Nvidia in the middle of last April. And is that the US Department of Commerce imposed new restrictions To the export of the H20 GPU, which in practice caused this chip to stop reaching the Chinese clients of this company. During the next few weeks this GPU will come back to the facilities of Tencent, Alibaba or Bytedance, among other Chinese companies, but Nvidia will have it more difficult than ever. And is that Huawei, his main Chinese competitor, is being reinforced with great intensity. Only one day after the US Department of Commerce formalized its latest sanctions He presented his GPU Ascend 920a chip for AI that is clearly intended to occupy in the Chinese market the gaps left by the NVIDIA H20 GPU. The GPU Ascend 920 will begin to be manufactured on a large scale during the second half of 2025 using 6 Nm integration technology that have presumably developed side with Huawei elbow and SMIC. The characteristics of this lithographic node have not yet been officially confirmed, but it will probably use the technique known as Multiple patterningwhich is the same one that SMIC is using 7 Nm chips. In addition, the GPU Ascend 920 will reach a 4 TB/s transfer speed for the memory subsystem thanks to the use of HBM3 chips.
