He has found a way to shoot China’s competitiveness in the face of the US

by

Two days ago we told you something very interesting: the Chinese state medium Securities Times had revealed that Huawei was about to present a technological advance that pursued Reduce China dependence of HBM memory chips (High Bandwidth Memory) from abroad. According to this source Huawei was going to officially announce his technological milestone a few hours later, during the celebration in Shanghai (China) of the Applications Forum and Development of Financial Reasoning 2025. Huawei has fulfilled what was promised, although not as we had planned. In any case, before getting into flour it is important that we remember that Chinese memory chips manufacturers They are not producing solutions capable of competing with the most advanced memories manufactured by South Korean companies Samsung and SK Hynix, or the American Micron Technology. GPUs for Ia work side by side with HBM memory chips. In fact, its performance is largely conditioned by these memories. As the editors of SEMIANALYSISthe total bandwidth of the HBM3 memory chips that live with some of THE GPU FOR THE MOST ADVANCED Nvidia or AMD exceeds 819 GB/s, while DDR5 and GDDR6X memories reach much more modest 70.4 GB/Sy 96 GB/s. HBM3E memories and future HBM4 are even better. Chinese manufacturers of this type of chips do not yet produce this kind of memories, but it seems that Huawei will deeply alter this scenario. An algorithm expressly designed to accelerate inference in AI The filtration that occurred scarcely 48 hours suggested that probably what Huawei was going to present was a avant -garde packaging technology that, perhaps, would rival those used by SK Hynix, Samsung or Micron to produce their HBM3 and 3E memories. And it is that manufacturing these integrated circuits is complex because they require stacking several DRAM chips and implementing an interface between the XPU (Extended Processing Unit) or extended processing unit and extraordinarily dense HBM chips. As a button shows: in a HBM3E stack the XPU and the HBM memory are linked through more than 1,000 drivers. According to Huawei, the UCM algorithm is capable of drastically accelerating inference in the great AI models However, finally Huawei has presented a different technology: an advanced algorithm called UCM (Unified Cache Manager) that, according to this company, it is capable of drastically accelerate inference In the great models of artificial intelligence (AI). A relevant note: inference is broadly the computational process carried out by language models with the purpose of generating the responses that correspond to the requests they receive. To achieve its purpose, the UCM algorithm displays a very ingenious strategy: decide in what type of memory it is necessary to store each data taking as a fundamental indicator the latency requirements. In practice, this algorithm behaves as a gigantic cache that guarantees that each data will go to the right memory, including HBM3, with the purpose of minimizing latency during inference. If it is a very often used data, it will be stored in a very fast memory, such as HBM3. According to Huaweithis technology is able to reduce the latency of inference by 90%. Interestingly, this company plans to do the UCM Source Open Algorithm in September. More information | SCMP In Xataka | Nvidia has to deal with the absolute distrust of several US legislators.

Pirates have turned the Red Sea into hell for ships around the world. With an exception: the Chinese

by

The Red Sea right now is the main commercial route around the world and millions European industries depend on it to be able to receive products from the Asian continent. But in recent months, it has become one of the most dangerous seas on the planet, taking months blocked by the attack of pirates. With an exception. Chinese ships can go through these waters and nothing happens to them. They are even protected. The Red Sea as a forbidden area. Since the Hutí Militia de Yemen, with the support of Iran, will start an assault campaign at the end of 2023 In retaliation for the situation in Gaza, this area has become a dangerous area. Sunk charges, attacked crews and a climate of total insecurity that forced giants such as Master or Hapag-Lloyd to deviate through the horn of Africa. Something that implies Add to the navigation plan between 14 and 18 days. Something that also represents a higher cost. China’s ships have ‘white letter’. Something that has been observed since April, and that has reported the maritime intelligence firm Lloyd’s List Intelligence, is that Nothing happens to Chinese ships. In this way, they have seen how fourte The insurmountable rorowhich sailed from China and crossed the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Red Sea for Europe, did not have to give a detour. The most interesting thing is the content they had inside: Chinese brands electric vehicles such as Byd or Mg. This is a pattern that clearly shows that there is an agreement behind. A tactical pact that is worth gold. Neither Beijing, nor Tehran, nor the hutis leaders have issued an official statement, but the evidence and geopolitical context draw a mutual interest agreement. The hutis, which They declare to attack ships with Israeli linksAmericans or British, seem to have received a clear instruction: ships that come from China have the free passage. The key to this immunity lies in China’s powerful influence on Iranthe main economic and military support of the hutis. China is the biggest Iranian oil buyer, a commercial relationship that is a lifeguard for the Persian economy. In exchange for this support, Beijing exercises a ability to persuasion in the region that no other power can match. Analysts like Daniel Nash, from the consultant Veson Nautical, Point out that “China has found a way of dealing with the huti rebels backed by Iran, and they have been told that their ships will not be attacked.” This “salvoconduct” not only applies to Chinese flag ships, but also to those of other nationalities chartered by Chinese manufacturers to transport their vehicles. Meanwhile, other Chinese ships that do not wear cars continue to opt for the African route to avoid risks. The secret weapon against European tariffs. For Chinese manufacturers, this shortcut is much more than simple logistics savings; It is a strategic weapon to be able to conquer the European market. Right now, the European Union, in an attempt to protect its own industry, has imposed tariffs of up to 35% To Chinese electric vehicles, claiming that they benefit from unfair state subsidies. Although now They study withdraw them. However, the savings of the Red Sea route helps to compensate for the impact of tariffs, causing the final price to consumers to remain very attractive. The competitors have felt the consequences. Brands like Tesla, Volvo, Suzuki or even suppliers like Michelin They have suffered strikes in their European factories As a result of deliveries in deliveries because ships have to give a greater rodeo. In this way, brands settled in Europe have to pay consequences, while China can overcome them without problems. Floating cities for the conquest of Europe. Far from being a temporary solution, China is betting strongly on this route. Chinese shipyards work in full performance To deliver to Byd and SAIC new ships to wear their vehicles. And it is that these ships such as the “Byd Explorer No.1” or the “Anji Ansheng” of Saic are authentic floating cities with capacity for more than 7,000 vehicles, designed to optimize mass transport through sea. Chinese cars begin to be an important alternative. In the case of Spain, Sales of Chinese electric cars They don’t stop growing with the Saic group at the head and next to Grupo Chery with their Omoda and Byd, which has also opted for hybrid cars. This way, China is flooding European with its cars as It is being seen in enrollments. And partly it is for this type of strategies.

Japan is saturating from the hordes of foreign tourists. So in the country they have begun to give them free flights

by

Japan is filling with tourists. Only during the first half of the year added 21.5 million of foreign visitors, 21% more than during the same period of 2024. There are many. Many. Enough to he overwhelming It has become a Debate theme priority and be giving wings to the formation of extreme right Sanseitō, who managed to stand out in the July elections with the motto “Japan first”. The problem is that, far from being distributed in the country, that tide of visitors is concentrated in certain mass points. There are those who want to solve it giving flights To tourists. What happened? That Japan Airlines (JAL), one of Japan’s main airlines, has had An idea peculiar so that foreign tourism becomes more bearable to the country’s mass destinations: give tickets. Literally. The idea is that foreigners visiting Japan have free flights that encourage them to go beyond Tokyo or Osaka and explore less known corners, such as Sapporo, Naha either Hakuba. The goal is double: relieve pressure at the busiest points in the country and, incidentally, give a small push to foreigners to visit places that would never include in their itineraries. What do they propose? The first thing to clarify is that it is not a new campaign. Aviation Wire I already talked about her in October 2024but with mass tourism in the center of the debate and Japan turned into one of the most demanded destinations in the world, the campaign has gained popularity again. In recent weeks, media have talked about it as Soranews24, Time out or the specialized website Travel and Tour Worldconfirming that the initiative was launched in autumn without completion date. The idea too He has echoed in Spain. What are your details? The campaign consists of giving national flights to foreign tourists so that they can move through Japan, although (as usually happens) it has a small print. It is not available for all visitors and even those who can opt for it must meet before A series of requirements. From the entry the offer is available to users of certain countries, such as the United States, Canada, China, India, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Vietnam or the Philippines, inter alia. In addition, the beneficiary travelers must reserve on their own the international round trip from their country of origin. Once in Japan it is when they can opt for one of the national tickets of JAL promotion, which must include in the same reserve. TTW precise An extra detail that demonstrates how the campaign aspires to relieve pressure in the most busy cities in the country: those visitors flying from the US, Canada, Mexico or China and decide to remain more than 24 hours in the city where they land (usually tokyo) must pay a rate of $ 100. Why is it important? Beyond the details of the campaign or if it really goes on account or not foreign tourists, Jal’s idea is interesting for another reason: it shows Japan’s attempts to make tourists’ avalanche more assumed and do not saturate its most popular destinations. That the initiative has had so much impact is also explained by who spears it: Japan Airlines is one of the main country airlines and on its website presume that your group has a total of 133 national routes and 66 international connections. This wide network of domestic connections is what intends to take advantage of foreigners explore places in the country less popular than Tokyo or the Las Geishas neighborhood of Kyoto, like ski slopes of Nisekothe reefs of Okinawathe mountains of Hakuba either Tomamu or the natural landscapes of Hearbetween a long (very long) and so on. In his favor he has the Encrying From Japan Rail Pass (JRP), which makes the plane win attractive in determining routes. So much tourism in Japan? Yes. The latest official statistics show that during the first half of the year he received 21.5 million of foreign tourists, a surprising fact for two reasons. The first, because it is a record for the country. The second, because it represents an increase of 21% with respect to the same semester of 2024, which gives an idea of the accelerated rhythm to which the sector is growing. Only in June the flow of foreign visitors grew by 7.6%. That boom has come accompanied by the arrival of Millions of dollarsbut has also submitted to the country (especially the most massive destinations) to A pressure that has electorally fed the formation of the extreme right Sanseito, which relies on A speech antituristic and antimigratory. The clearest example of that overwhelming It is located in three busy places: the Fuji, where They have started to charge a rate; The neighborhood of the Geishas de Kyoto, where They have prohibited to “paparazzi tourists”; And Fujikawaguchiko, who has had to cover his views to avoid the hordes of tourists to hunt the best Selfie. Does it work to give flights? It does not seem. As the statistics demonstrate, Japan continues to win tourists and Tokyo remains in The lists of the busiest places. The director of JapaneseLaura Tomàs, acknowledges in An interview with The confidential that the campaign also has some clear weak points. “The routes do not always fit the schedules, the information is not clearly communicated and in many cases the tourist ends up opting for the known.” Images | Matt Cramblett (UNSPLASH), Nomadic Julien (UNSPLASH) In Xataka | Japan will copy Venice to stop mass tourism.

The future of the Internet is flooding of ia. And there are those who have already seen a business niche: content made by humans

by

Internet has been filled with Searches results generated by artificial intelligence and of ‘Slop‘. The first is already reducing clicks to halfand points to collapse for the media. The second is something that users will have to live if the platforms do not get more serious to improve the filtering. Among all the tangle of new and ancient actors, an old Google opponent has returned to position itself as an alternative to the current in this era. Forks Duckdukgo. What are they doing. Duckckgo is an alternative search engine focused on offering the greatest possible privacy to its users, and for this, use, for example, the Bing searches. After 16 years since its foundation, the company has launched a Filter of images generated with AI that frames in its philosophy of the “private, useful and optional” functions. For the end user, this means being able to see or hide the images generated by the general search of images, something that is already problematic in Google where, for example, we come to see distorted results, even in examples as recognizable as ‘The young woman of the pearl’. The company has already shown that it can be differentiated, with Duck.aian own chatbot that anonymizes conversations and does not use them for training. How do they. To use this filter, the company is not using an engine driven by artificial intelligence or something similar. Those responsible have detailed the method, and is based on using manual open source block lists that the popular content blocker provides Ublock Origin and the Ublacklist’s Hage AI Blocklist, a browser extension created so that users can manually filter concrete websites of their Google results. Effectiveness. One of the big problems of the contents generated with AI is that they not only come from repositories that clearly indicate it, such as Midjourney explore, for example. In this sense, from DuckDuckgo They recognize That the filter “will not capture 100% of the results generated by AI”, but “will considerably reduce the amount of images generated that are shown.” Examples of images generated by AI that do not come out when activating the filter. Some of them is not as obvious as the largest in the first row. In our case, for example, we have sought “dog jumping” without activating the filter so as not to see. And he has found the image of a dog jumping with a suspicious origin: Freepik. It was an image generated by AI that has stopped appearing when activating the filter. Next to him was more of the same source that he has also leaked. The challenge. The filtering works well, but the challenge for companies such as Duckduckgo is capital, because Freepik already serves as “generated with AI”. But what happens when a random image that we find in media like this has no label to indicate it? There they have to play methods that use verification system with detailed analysis of the image, which makes the resources required to do so effectively fire. Beyond images, the difficulty is in the filtering of websites with texts generated by artificial intelligence. Openai, for example, launched A tool to detect plagiarismand then He withdrew it silently. Although according to leaks now they have a tool that operates, They do not throw it. The problem. Detectors do not just work well, and after reaching accuse students of using and erruniversity professors are suffering the phenomenon: To make undetectable texts, students are resorting to rewriting tools that worsen their quality. Google, a strong defender of the generative AI, has opened Its Synthid water brand technology. The inconvenience? We continue needing a universal standard that at the moment does not arrive. And even if it arrives, users will not always want to mark their creation as done with ia. For example, the images generated with Google image indicate its nature with the “AI” icon, but erase or cut it is very simple. The snowball does not stop, The hole. According to the Empty Internet Theory either ‘Dead Internet Theory‘, Much of the content that exists in the network is created by automated bots and algorithms, and with generative intelligence, the thing is going more. In addition, Google’s preview has only been the first step: now it touches Ai mode, which no longer delivers a results, talk. So, although we win comfort, there will be a huge hole for companies such as Duckckgo, looking for that the basic unit of communication on the Internet is still aliveor that knowledge remain something democratized without Loot all Internet content. As an idea, DuckDuckgo can deepen including filters throughout web navigation: it can be distinguished from browsers with AI with a different approach to Your browser.

The mystery of the price of gasoline

by

We are in the middle of August and the asphalt burns, not just by the sun. The massive holiday displacements reach their peak and thousands of drivers look sideways at the fuel marker before embarking. In a summer marked by energy volatility, the cost of filling the deposit is again the protagonist, with ups and downs that depend on both the global and the gas station that is chosen. A fall that barely feels. According to the latest data from the European Union Petroleum Bulletinthe average price in Spain is 1,483 euros per liter for 95 and 1,424 euros for diesel. Testimonial declines are: 0.2 less for gasoline and 0.8 cents for diesel compared to the previous week. In the supplier, the difference is practically imperceptible. Compared to a year ago, savings is more visible – a 7.3% less in gasoline and 2.8% in diesel – but filling today an average 55 -liter deposit continues to hover the 81 euros in gasoline and 78 in diesel. And, as a Facua study recalls cited by the countrythat invoice depends so much or more on the gas station than on the international market: reposting diesel in Murcia can cost up to 79 more cents per liter between the most expensive and cheapest station. Factors that press up. At the international level, the price of Brent crude – reference in Europe – is around $ 67.27 per barrel. OPEC+ has announced which will increase the offer in 547,000 barrels per day as of September, but this type of movements takes to reflect in the suppliers. Within Spain, electricity remains an inflationary engine. The INE has confirmed That the IPC rose to 2.7%, its highest level since February, due to a price increase of 17.3% and, to a lesser extent, of fuels. Transportation, which includes fuels, plane tickets and combined passenger transport, also rose 0.2%. Facua has warned in a report for the country That price disparity is not a matter of quality, but of competition, location and commercial margins. The risk of calm will last little. The Savings Banks Foundation (Funcas) provides that inflation reaches 3% in September, As detailed in the voice of Galicia. If it is fulfilled, that pressure could be transferred back to gasoline and diesel, especially in a context where electricity and food continue to take care after the end of the VAT reduction. The Ministry of Economy insists that the Spanish economy maintains “a strong dynamism” and that employment and salary increases cushion the impact, but for the average driver the sensation is another: pay the same – or more – for each kilometer. Beyond refueling. In this context, choosing well where to refuel can be a remarkable savings. Tools like The Facua search engine They allow to locate the most economical stations in each area. Even so, reposting in Spain is still somewhat cheaper than in much of Europe. The difference is around 14 cents per liter in gasoline and about 13 cents in diesel in front of the EU average, and reaches 20 cents if compared to the euro zone. Glimpseing the rebound. The slight price drop in August does not change the general photo: the fuel is still expensive and the forces that push it up there are still there. The relief, if it can be called that, could be just an intermediate before the score rises again. In August, as important as choosing fate is to decide where and when to fill the tank.

Perplexity is perfecting an art: that of marking lanteroles

by

Perplexity, a company that generates 150 million dollars a year, has offered 34,500 million to take Chrome, the Google browser, as reported The Wall Street Journal. How to see Wallapop trying to buy Inditex. Why is it important. This movement begins to be a pattern to Perplexitywhich has a very interesting and functional product that we liked from the beginningbut that also tends to abuse corporate theater. For example, camouflating marketing campaigns as impossible offers. The pattern. This is not the first time that Perplexity tries to buy the incomprable: Every few months, a new offer impossible. Each time, the same result: headlines, attention, relevance provided. The figures that do not fit. Google pays Apple 20,000 million annually Just for being the predetermined search engine in Safari. A single annual Google payment is worth more than perplexity as a company. Chrome has 3,000 million users. Perplexity has 30 million per month. The scale difference is an abyss. Dan Iives, from Wedbush, He estimates that Chrome is worth at least 50,000 millionso Perplexity not only offers money that does not have: it is undervalued the asset at 15,000 million. Yes, but. Perplexity promises to keep Google as a predetermined search engine in Chrome. They have baptized the operation as “PROJECT SOLOMON“—Salomon, the wise king – while they propose to spend a fortune to continue sending traffic to his competitor. It has a lot to do with running as unblockrs of a judicial mandate – the American justice raises force Google to get rid of Chrome– And also do it without damaging the competition. The elephant in Cupertino. The most persistent – and more calculated rumor is that Apple will buy perplexity. On June 20, in a single day, three coordinated stories appeared: Alex Kantrowitz suggesting that Apple should pay them 30,000 million. BlOomberg rEmporting Meta’s interest. And Mark Gurman confirming “internal conversations” In Apple. The coordination was obvious. But it worked. Suddenly, Perplexity was not one more startup of the pile but the most beautiful spring dance. Just when the greats that the generative one has caught them on foot changed They value cutting times buying some startup. Between the lines. Perplexity processes about 9,000 million annual consultations. Google processes 5 billion a year. The company does not have its own revolutionary technology. It is an interface on openai, anthropic and company models, with some Web Scraping on. Your product is powerful, but lives on other people’s pillars. And a month ago they launched their own browser, Comet. If it is so revolutionary, why do Chrome need? The question It is what a buyer would win, including Apple, buying perplexity. At the moment, your business model falls very short for the investment received. And although its product is good, it is not autonomous, it depends on the access of third -party APIS and the company seems focused on sending messages between lines for someone to buy.

We can reach a black hole with a billion euros and a nave of the size of a clip

by

The boldest ideas are those that often drive the greatest jumps in human knowledge. AND bold It is the best way to describe this study supported by the National Foundation of Natural Sciences of China. The objective: travel to the darkest secrets of the universe. Short. A astrophysicist from Fudan University, in Shanghai, has designed a plan to send a micronave the size and weight of a clip to the black hole closest to the Earth. The propulsion method? A potent system of lasers fired from our planet. Led by Cosimo Bambi, the exotic proposal intends Test the limits of Einstein’s relativity theory in one of the most extreme environments of the cosmos. Although technology to carry it out is not yet developed, advances in nanotechnology, laser propulsion and detection of black holes could come true in the coming decades. A black hole to discover. The mission of reaching a black hole has two huge challenges. The first is to find a viable goal. The nearest black hole we know, Gaia-Bh1is 1,560 light years. However, our cosmological models tell us that there could be a much closer black hole, “only” 20 or 25 light years of us. “There are new techniques to discover black holes”, Bambi says in a statement. “I think it is reasonable to expect that we can find a nearby one in the next decade.” An odyssey of a century: Once the objective is located, the second challenge will be to get there. Current spacecraft, chemical propulsion, are too slow. The solution proposed by Bambi are nanonaves at a scale of a few grams that only contain a microchip and A solar candle 10 square meters. A set of high -power lasers from Earth could point towards the candle, accelerating the ship to a third of the speed of light. Even at that rate, the trip to a black hole to 20 light years would last for about 70 years. The data to be collected would take another two decades to return to the earth, which places the total duration of the mission around 80 or 100 years. Many reasons to try. If the mission is successful, the experiments that these probes can perform near the black hole would answer some of the deepest unsolved questions of modern physics. Is there really a horizon of events? You could try if the non -return border of a black hole behaves how the theories predict, observing the probe signal while falling towards it. Is Einstein’s general relativity valid? Nanonave’s orbit would be used to detect any Minimum deviation of Kerr’s predictionswhich describes the spacetime around a black hole in rotation. Does the fundamental constants change? The mission could verify whether constants such as fine structure vary in such an intense gravitational field. It would not be cheap. The plan is tremendously speculative. Only the laser system would cost around a billion euros. “It may sound really crazy and, in a sense, closer to science fiction,” admits Cosimo Bambi. However, milestones such as the detection of gravitational waves or the photograph of the shadow of a black hole also seemed impossible in its day.

The skeptics of the AI warned that we were exciting a lot and we did not believe them: the AI is tontal

by

GPT-5 is something better that GPT-4. The problem of that phrase is in the word “something.” Openai’s new “unified” model does not seem to represent the qualitative leap that many expected, and that The alarms have sounded again. One might ask what if the AI no longer becomes much better than it is now? But maybe that is already happening and the question is another: what do we do then? The climb works, but less. In 2020 a team of Openai researchers published A study entitled “Laws of climbing for neuronal language models”. They raised a kind of Moore law of the AI: the more data and computation dedicated to training models, the better they would be. That observation was clearly demonstrated when they launched GPT-3, which was 10 times larger than GPT-2 but it was a lot, much better than that model. Deceleration. Gary Marcus, professor of psychology and neuronal sciences at the University of New York, explained in 2022 That this study did not make much sense: “The so -called lawyer laws are not universal laws such as gravity, but simply mere observations that could not be maintained forever.” Even Satya Nadella agreed With this statement a few months ago in the Ignite 2024 event. And as we are seeing, their doubts have come true. The climb works and the models are somewhat better than their predecessors, but The deceleration seems to be there. But GPT-5 is not so bad. The truth is that GPT-5 has improved in relevant metrics. Those responsible for Epoch AI They evaluated His behavior in FrontiermathFor example. The results were a bit better than their O4-mini predecessor, but there were no big yield jumps. Even so, they highlighted how GPT-5 has been the first model to solve a specific problem as if “had fully understood the problem.” In the field of mathematics, GPT-5 behaves something better than its predecessors, but the difference is not radical. The most difficult problems (Tier 4) are still almost impossible for AI models. Source: Epoch AI. And think better. Another independent analysis of the ZVI Mowshowitz analyst He pointed out that although the GPT-5 base model It was correct without further adoits advanced variants (GPT-5 PRO and GPT-5 Thinking) were a substantial improvement with respect to O3-PRO and O3 respectively, especially when mitigating hallucinations. According to your data, “GPT-5 Auto” (the base version) seems like a poor product unless you use the free chatgpt plan “. The same what we need is a symbolic AI. The symbolic (“classic”) represents knowledge using symbols and rules, and is based on logic and formal reasoning to solve problems and make decisions. This type of AI He dominated the panorama From AI until 90, but the lack of notable advances made that discipline stagnate and live a winter of AI. “We leave” with the connectionist, the neural networks that represent knowledge through connections and weights of the nodes of a network of artificial neurons. This discipline was the one that gave rise to the ia generative and the overwhelming success of Chatgpt and its rivals. His surprising good behavior unleashed the current AI fever, But performance advances are slowing down. The skeptics of the AI redouble their speech. Analysts like Ed Zitron – more extreme – or Gary Marcus – defense of the symbolic AI— They have always warned of the exaggerated expectations generated by the generative AI. Even those who were instrumental in the creation of Chatgpt, such as engineer Ilya Sutskever, They warned of the scaling limitations. Reasoning models have softened criticism and are a great alternative for that apparent stagnation of standard models, but even with them the feeling is that AI will not go much further. Thus we will never get to an AGI. Thomas Wolf, co -founder and Chief Science officer of Hugging Face, reflected on the problem A few months ago and concluded that the IAS have become “a country of men who say yes to all servers.” For him things began to be disturbing: “To create an Einstein in a data center we do not need a system that has all the answers, but rather one that is able to wonder things that nobody had thought or nobody had dared to ask.” As this expert pointed out, the current AI does not generate (usually) new knowledge, and “simply fills the holes of what humans already knew.” The current AI is like a fantastic and very applied student, but that student does not challenge what has been taught. He does not question it and does not propose ideas that go against the data with which he has been trained. Yann Lecun, one of the pioneers of the AI, has already concluded on the current generative AI: It’s silly. Lowering expectations. The panorama is worrying for those who are investing billions of dollars in data centers or in training new foundational models, especially because that impact may not be as gigantic as they had forecast and promised. Ed Zitron indicated In The New Yorker that “this is a 50,000 million dollar market, not one of one billion dollars.” Marcus agreed. “50,000 million, yes. Maybe 100,000.” What happens if AI has stagnated. If it is effectively, what we can expect is that AI becomes a useful tool to save time and improve the result of certain tasks – it is doing it – but not to provoke That seismic impact In society and employment What personalities such as Altman, Musk, Amodei or Zuckerberg defend with their investments. If that happens we will undoubtedly have a powerful tool to do things better and faster. That was just what allowed us other fantastic disruptions such as the PC or the Internet. But many probably expected more. A lot more. And there is the problem. In expectations. Image | Levart Photography In Xataka | There are too many AI models.

In the middle of last April the US Department of Commerce imposed new restrictions to the export to China of the GPU for artificial intelligence (AI) H20 of Nvidia, which in practice caused this chip to stop reaching the Chinese clients of this company. After weeks of negotiations, and even, of several “face to face” Between Donald Trump and Jensen Huang, Nvidia has made the Department of Commerce allow him to re -give his Chinese clients its H20 chip. However, this permission has not left for free: hereinafter will deliver to the US government 15% of income which will obtain in China for the sale of this and other GPU. AMD has run this same luck, so there is no doubt that this Trump administration strategy establishes an unpublished precedent by forcing some US companies to deliver to the State a percentage of their sales income in another country. Nvidia and AMD have accepted this condition, but it is perfectly possible that it does not prosper. The export clause favors them. Not even the government is convinced that its strategy is legal In the current scenario it is surprising that the US administration has reached this agreement with Nvidia and AMD without making sure before what is pursued is legal. But it is just what has happened. Karoline Leavitt, White House spokeswoman, has made this statement: “At this time this agreement remains with these two companies, but could expand in the future to other companies (…) Legality and mechanics are still being resolved by the Department of Commerce.” The US government does not rule out a commission similar to that it wants to receive from NVIDIA and AMD to other companies As we have just seen, the US government does not rule out charging a commission similar to that it wants to receive from Nvidia and AMD to other companies, but it still does not have the legality of this agreement yet. And it is normal that it does not have it closed. Article I, section 9 of the US Constitution Says the following: “No tax or tariff will be imposed on the articles exported from any state.” This is the export clause that I have mentioned a few lines above. In practice, this article can cancel the collection of the commission of 15% to NVIDIA and AMD for three reasons. The first is that it is essentially an export tax, and, therefore, clearly violates this clause. In addition, the Export Control Reform Law 2018 specifically prohibits charging for export licenses. And finally, although it is not less important, this measure with all likelihood will be received as a tax by decree and without the approval of the Congress, which is the only power with the authority to impose taxes. Nvidia and AMD, on the other hand, have in their favor a precedent that can exempt them from paying the commission that the Trump administration wants to charge. In 1998 The US Supreme Court annulled a tax of port maintenance with which the government intended to tax the value of the burden that passed through US ports, including exports. That scenario was not very different from the current one. We will see if the Department of Commerce finally manages to legally cement the commission of 15% to NVIDIA and AMD.
