OpenAI going from 70% share to 46% is the symptom of something more worrying: they have entered panic mode

by

Between January 2025 and January 2026, ChatGPT has lost almost 24 points of market share among daily users of its mobile app in the United States, its main market. Gemini has gone from 14.7% to 25.1%. Grok, from 1.6% to 15.2%. In web traffic the pattern repeats itself. ChatGPT rose 50%, from 3.8 billion to 5.7 billion views. Gemini jumped 647%, from 267 million to 2 billion. OpenAI is still the leader, but it already has a real alternative in all aspects. Why is it important. When you lose 24 share points while the market grows 152%, something has broken along the way. And it’s not just technical leadership. It’s the narrative. Sam Altman sold OpenAI as the company that would reach the market first AGI. That promise mobilized a lot of capital, a lot of talent and a lot of faith. The AGI has not arrived yet. Meanwhile, OpenAI has had to become something else: a conglomerate that does quite a bit more, from chatbots to chips to a wearables. In Xataka The AI ​​of 2026 brings an uncomfortable truth: the most useful will be the one that watches us the most The business model problem. OpenAI… It earned $13 billion in 2025. It lost $12 billion in the last quarter alone. It has 40 million paying subscribers at $20 a month. There are 800 million monthly. It is still insufficient. The company needs AI to function as a business service, not just a consumer product. But there he is losing to Anthropic, which leads with 32% of the business market compared to 25% for OpenAI. Claude Code has become the favorite option for developers: 42% share compared to 21%. Google has 20% and counting. Meta controls 9% with Flame. DeepSeek barely 1%, but its model shows that the level of OpenAI can be replicated without the same resources. The great advantage of Google. Google doesn’t need you Gemini earn money tomorrow. It can afford low prices and red numbers for a long time, while perfecting the technology and integrating it into products that already work: the search engine, YouTube, Android, Chrome… OpenAI depends on ChatGPT to survive. The snowball in debt and payment commitments is too big. Sundar Pichai’s strategy is clear: not to place advertising on Gemini to maintain trust, but to try placing ads on the AI-powered search engine, where users see them as something to be expected. Google can learn without risking its brand. Yes, but. Altman has reacted with quite aggressive diversification. OpenAI no longer wants to be just a modeling company, but rather control multiple layers: from hardware to consumer applications. The objective is become too big to fall. That a hypothetical failure represents a systemic risk for the US economy, as happened with the banks in 2008. {“videoId”:”x9u4ml2″,”autoplay”:false,”title”:”Does Gemini 3 surpass ChatGPT? This is Google’s new AI”, “tag”:”Webedia-prod”, “duration”:”156″} behind the scenes. The dispersion is becoming noticeable. Banking is reducing its dependence on OpenAI. 18 months ago, half of AI use cases at large banks used OpenAI models. By the end of 2025, that figure had fallen to a third. While OpenAI loses focus, Anthropic wins them. Projects to be profitable in 2028. OpenAI, having moved the goal along the wayin 2029.

What the Auto+ Plan offers, requirements and how to request it

by

Let’s explain to you What are the aids to buy an electric car? of the Auto+ Plan. Thus, if you are thinking of buying a car of this type in 2026, you will know until when the aid can increase and what the requirements are to be able to apply for it. The Auto+ Plan is the successor to the MOVES III Plan which ended last year, and solves some of the problems that it had been dragging on. This new aid plan has some important newsboth in the amounts and in the way in which the aid is calculated. These are the aids of the Auto+ Plan Below, we leave you the table in which you can see the amounts of aid and the percentage received. Here, to calculate the aid, both the type of car and its price before taxes will be calculated and where it was manufacturedso that those who are European will be given more priority. Here you have the table: Category Maximum aid amount Vehicle type Percentage received based on price Manufacturing Tourism (M1) 4,500 euros Electric: 50% of the aid (2,250 euros) Plug-in and electric hybrid with extended autonomy: 25% of the aid (1,125 euros) Maximum of 45,000 euros before taxes: Up to 35,000 euros: 25% of the maximum aid amount (1,125 euros) Between 35,001 and 45,000 euros: 15% of the maximum amount of aid (675 euros) Vehicles whose assembly and final completion prior to marketing has been carried out in an EU industrial facility will be allocated: 15% of the maximum aid amount (675 euros) Additionally, if a part of the battery manufacturing process (at least must include the assembly of the battery packs): additional 10% of the maximum aid amount (450 euros euros) Vehicle (N1) 5,000 euros Electric: 50% of the aid (2,500 euros) Plug-in and electric hybrid with extended autonomy: 25% of the aid (1,250 euros) No maximum limit: All vehicles receive 25% of the maximum aid amount (1,250 euros) Vehicles whose assembly and final completion prior to marketing has been carried out in an EU industrial facility will be allocated: 15% of the maximum aid amount (750 euros) Additionally, if a part of the battery manufacturing process (at least it must include the assembly of the battery packs): additional 10% of the maximum aid amount (500 euros) Moped (L3e, L4e and L5e) 1,100 euros Electric: 50% of the aid (550 euros) Plug-in and electric hybrid with extended autonomy: 25% of the aid (275 euros) Maximum of 10,000 euros before taxes: All vehicles receive 25% of the maximum aid amount (275 euros) Vehicles whose assembly and final completion prior to marketing has been carried out in an EU industrial facility will be allocated: 15% of the maximum aid amount (165 euros) Additionally, if a part of the battery manufacturing process (at least it must include the assembly of the battery packs): additional 10% of the maximum aid amount (110 euros) Quadricycle (L6e and L7e) 1,500 euros Electric: 50% of the aid (750 euros) Plug-in and electric hybrid with extended autonomy: 25% of the aid (375 euros) No maximum limit: All vehicles receive 25% of the maximum aid amount (375 euros) Vehicles whose assembly and final completion prior to marketing has been carried out in an EU industrial facility will be allocated: 15% of the maximum aid amount (225 euros) Additionally, if a part of the battery manufacturing process (at least it must include the assembly of the battery packs): additional 10% of the maximum aid amount (150 euros) Aid phases and requirements The Auto+ Plan aid is calculated based on three phases. This means that 100% of the aid is divided into three partsone of 50% and two others of 25%. With this, if you want to receive 100% you will have to meet the requirements of each of the phases of the aid. Phase 1: Type of car (up to 50% of the total aid): If you buy an electric or fuel cell car, you will be awarded 50% of the total aid. This is all that can be given to you in this phase. If the car is an extended range electric or plug-in hybrid, then it will only be 25%. Phase 2: car price (up to 25% of total aid): If your car costs up to 35,000 euros before taxes, an additional 25% of the aid will be added. If your car costs between 35,000 and 45,000 euros, you only receive 15%. If it costs more than 45,000 euros, nothing is added to you. Phase 3: where it is manufactured (up to 25% of total aid): This phase is divided into two conditions. If your car was manufactured in Europe, an additional 15% will be added for the aid. And if the battery has also been produced in Europe (at least the battery pack assembly), then you receive an additional 10%. If you meet both requirements, then the remaining 25% is added to the total aid. With this, you will only be able to aspire to the maximum aid of 4,500 euros if you comply with everything: if your car is electric or fuel cell, if it cost a maximum of 35,000 euros, if the car was manufactured in Europe and if the battery was assembled in Europe. In the event that you do not meet all the requirementssince you will stop receiving the percentage of the aid that corresponds to the phase whose requirements the vehicle you have purchased does not meet. In addition to this, you should know that There are other points to take into account. on the types of vehicles to which aid is provided. As we explained in Xatakathese are the points: The aid takes into account all purchases made from January 1, 2026 so those who have purchased an electric car in the first month of the year will be able to have access to them. Aid is only provided for purchases of Zero-emission vehicles. Aid is only provided to passenger … Read more

The only thing that can save the Guadalquivir from widespread flooding are the swamps and the room for maneuver is becoming less and less

by

Right now, Andalusia has six rivers at red level and many more than 3,000 people evacuated in Cádiz, Jaén, Granada and Málaga. But that’s not the bad news, the bad news is that there are hours and hours of rain ahead. A rain that, according to the data that is beginning to arrive, not even the models have captured well and is exceeding expectations. That’s what Google saw when it activated the flood risk. What I didn’t see is that the reservoirs can contain the problem. They are, in fact, the last hope of the lower Guadalquivir valley if the situation gets out of hand. The question is whether they have room to maneuver. What is lamination? Flood lamination is a hydraulic engineering technique used to reduce the peak flow of a river flood. What is done is to temporarily store water in reservoirs and retention areas in such a way that the amount of water that reaches downstream is controlled. Although all reservoirs have the capacity to laminate floods (that is, the maximum flow that can leave the reservoir is always less than the maximum flow that can enter), not all have the same capacity to do so. In this case, the truth is that the Guadalquivir basin has many reservoirs and is hyperregulated. And what does that mean? Well, the SAIH of the Guadalquivir Hydrographic Confederation has been working for days to prepare the basin so that the impacts are minor. For example, the reservoirs in the upper part of the Genial basin (where the largest water discharges are expected this afternoon-night) They have been releasing reserves for days downstream. In the same way, the swamps at the head of the Guadalquivir (especially The Tranco and, to a lesser extent, Siles) are ready to receive water. The problems are further down, of course: in Seville there is only one reservoir is below 90% and although Iznájar has capacity to laminate the Genil, the situation can quickly get complicated. How quickly and how complicated? The CHG I said yesterday that “for it to overflow (in Seville) the flow must reach 3000 cubic meters, now it is at 740.” That does not mean that other places, such as Palmar de Troya, do not end up suffering from the flooding of the river; but it does give us a psychological limit of how strong the flood has been and how effective the lamination has been. The situation, however, is much more complicated. in the Guadalete-Barbate basin. Right now, the accumulation in Grazalema is destroying the forecasts, the reservoirs are full, reaction times are much shorter (because the distance to travel is shorter) and cities like Jerez are currently living in terrible uncertainty. This week’s lesson. There is something important that we don’t seem to learn well in the terrible DANA from Valencia: that the danger is not always where it rains, that a red warning does not only affect the place where it is declared and that we must be prepared for the weather to surprise us. Let’s hope that these days we have time for the waters to return to normal.

Meteorologists expected 80 mm of rain in Grazalema, which was already a lot. They are already going for 180 mm

by

This Wednesday the storm Leonardo is showing all its strength in a good part of Andalusia, something that has forced to cancel classes or even to mobilize the UME due to the possible floods that may occur. One of the focuses of this storm is set in the Sierra de Grazalema in Cádizone of the places where it rains the most in Spain. The point here is that a large number of liters per square meter was expected to fall, but reality has surpassed everything previously calculated. The data. As collected the user in X @Vigorrothe discrepancy between what the model “saw” and what has fallen from the sky is massive: from a forecast of 60 to 80 mm accumulated at 7 in the morning, has moved to a reality of 180 liters per square meter. And this makes us have many questions in our heads… How is it possible that in the era of Big Data and high-resolution models, we fail by more than double in such a short-term prediction? The answer is in the orography. Harmonie’s failure. The technological protagonist here is in Harmonie-AROMEthe mesoscale model used by the AEMET to predict local phenomena. Unlike global models such as the European IFS, Hamonie is designed to see detail down to resolutions of a few kilometers to calculate, for example, how many liters will fall in a specific location. However, today it failed in the Sierra de Grazalema with the differences that we have seen before. And although the AEMET reacted activating the red warningwith an extreme risk of receiving up to 200 liters in one day, the real-time evolution during the early morning hours was much more explosive than the model output indicated. And the worst thing is that there is still a day ahead. A “wall”. To understand why the software falls short, you have to look at the mountain, and the Sierra de Grazalema acts as a formidable physical barrier against the humid winds of the Atlantic. In this way, when these storms hit the mountains, the air is forced to rise abruptly, cooling and condensing all its moisture in a very small space and gives what is known as orographic enhancement. In this peculiar storm, two factors have come together that have undoubtedly magnified it. On the one hand, we have had an atmospheric river which acts as gasoline for the clouds, intensifying precipitation much more than models anticipate, especially when they collide with a mountain. It fails on the scale. On the other hand, we also have the limitations of the numerical models that we use on a daily basis such as collected in the Stormchaser forum. Here they point out that these models continue to have problems resolving short-duration, high-intensity events in complex orographic areas. And they are good at saying that it is going to rain a lot, but they fail when we talk about the magnitude of a specific flood. It rains in the wet. The problem of this underestimation is not only meteorological, but also hydrological since this torrential rain falls on terrain that no longer supports even one more drop. The context in this case is critical, since the month of January already broke historical records in this area with accumulated amounts of around 1,300 liters per square meter. That is why the soil, which is composed mainly of clays is completely saturated, which means that the infiltration rate is zero, causing everything that falls to immediately run into the bed of the Guadalete River and others.

whether donating millions of euros is beneficial or not

by

Amancio Ortega is the eleventh greatest fortune in the world and, unquestionably, the richest man in Spain thanks to its two lucrative empires: Inditex and Pontegadea. However, in addition to his millionaire business profits, Amancio Ortega has also become popular for your donations. The millionaire injected 765.4 million into the foundation that bears his nameand donations valued at hundreds of millions of euros were channeled from it. This philanthropy was the center of a debate in which the enormous contribution to the well-being of the beneficiaries was put on the table, but also the fiscal compensations and an exercise of public image washing. A big jump in contributions. Amancio Ortega made an exceptional contribution to the Amancio Ortega Foundation. According to collected Digital Economythe businessman injected 765.4 million euros in 2025 to finance the entity’s activities until 2028. It is an amount much higher than that contributed in recent years, and marks a turning point in the size of the economic “cushion” with which the foundation works, which in your figures declared an investment in projects of 207.6 million euros in 2024. This money does not automatically translate into spending in a single year, but it does allow for the foundation’s involvement in larger programs and for a longer period of time. On its website, the foundation itself explains which has 541.8 million euros committed for the period 2025-2029. Where have those donations gone? An important part of these donations has been channeled towards healthcare, especially in the form of high-tech medical equipment and investments linked to public hospitals. A clear example is the National Hospital for Paraplegics of Toledo, which has received a donation of 11.24 million euros from the Leonese businessman’s foundation to execute up to ten projects related to facilities and works within the center itself. Without a doubt, the most ambitious project of Amancio Ortega’s foundation is the financing of ten proton therapy devices with a tender of 271 million euros started in 2021 and which will have valid until 2029. This latest technology equipment will be implemented in seven autonomous communities and allows for less invasive treatment of certain types of cancer, especially in cases of childhood cancer and difficult to access. In addition, the millionaire’s foundation financed the construction of seven new nursing homes in Galicia. For the moment they have built and delivered five of them to the Xunta de Galicia, and the objective is to complete the remaining ones in 2026. Direct aid in disasters. In 2025, one of the most notable donations was the one linked to the municipalities affected by DANA. It was an aid of 100 million euros, managed through 40 town councils, with the aim of supporting affected families and businesses. Here the mechanism was different from that used in the medical and socio-health projects. The urgency of the situation meant that, instead of signing an investment agreement with the administrations, the foundation delivered the funds to the different affected municipalities so that they could manage it by purchasing machinery for cleaning or to cover the most urgent needs of its population. Tax benefits, the darkest side. The other side of the debate focuses on the elephant in the room: donations to foundations have tax incentives, and this case is no exception. No matter how noble the motives behind these donations are, the shadow of interest in reducing your tax bill is evident, although also legal. In simple terms: whoever makes a donation can deduct part of that contribution from their taxes, with differences depending on whether they are an individual (IRPF) or a company (Corporate Tax). More than 97% of the capital of the Amancio Ortega Foundation comes from the contributions of its founder who, in turn, receives his income from the Inditex dividends and the benefits of Pontegadea. According to estimates of Publiconly with the financing of the proton therapy equipment, its benefactor obtained a tax benefit of between 108 and 123 million euros, since the legislation allows for tax relief between 35% and 40% of contributions. As Carlos Cruzado, president of the Gestha union of Treasury technicians, pointed out, “the tax benefit is still a public expense.” The real debate: philanthropy or paying taxes. In some ways, making such a significant donation means forcing the State to spend public money (in the form of uncollected taxes) on the investment. let an individual decide and that may not be strategic. On the one hand, there is the direct impact: hundreds of millions are put on the table available for social and health projects that might otherwise take longer to arrive. On the other hand, there is the fact that the project where the money is invested It is decided by a private donor, with his or her priorities and interests, not based on criteria of common interest. For society as a whole, was it more necessary to invest in this latest technology equipment or to hire more medical personnel for primary care? Should large donations be regulated differently to suit the general good, or should the donor’s discretion prevail? These are questions to which Spanish legislation has not yet provided an answer.

The panic of technology companies about running out of chips has broken the RAM market. Manufacturers have said enough

by

The RAM market is completely broken. In November of last year we talked about a 300% increasewas the result of the perfect storm caused by AI and data centers. Faced with brutal shortages, large companies are trying to get hold of as much memory as possible, which further destabilizes the market. Now manufacturers are taking matters into their own hands. No hoarders, thank you. In an extensive report published by Nikkei Asiatalk about the big three DRAM manufacturers (Samsung, Micron and SK Hynix) implementing stricter rules for their customers in order to prevent them from hoarding memory. The measures are aimed at ensuring that demand is real, that is, that the chips are not going to end up collecting dust in a warehouse “just in case.” Manufacturers are asking for details about who the chips are for, the quantities and what they will be used for. OpenAI’s dirty deal. We go back to October 1, 2025. OpenAI signed an agreement with Samsung and SK Hynix to a potential demand for 900,000 DRAM wafers per month. The figure is equivalent to 40% of all world production, absurd, but what is striking is the “potential.” As they point out multiple users on Xare securing a critical product for data centers that have not yet been built, with money they do not have. Some analysts called this agreement “The dirty DRAM deal”whose hidden objective seemed to point to a rather dirty move: to create a moat by preventing its competitors from accessing critical technology. Open orders. The AI ​​race is not going to stop because chips rise in price and big technology companies have done what they had to do: everything possible to get chips. At the end of last year, Reuters He said that some companies such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta had even approached Micron with open orders, that is, they were willing to accept all the memory they could supply, without a price cap. A full-fledged preventive hoarding. Compulsive shopping. AI companies are not the only ones that have tried to secure their chips, PC manufacturers such as Asus, MSI, Dell or HP also began to buy RAM compulsively at the end of 2025 for accumulate inventory before what was coming. Manufacturers are aware of overorders and that is why they are now demanding data on the end customer. The winners. While everyone is fighting to get their chips, Samsung is getting rich. It is not only that has tripled its profitsFurthermore, it is the technological more has appreciated in 2025ahead of Alphabet and TSMC. For its part, SK Hynix has doubled its profitsmainly due to the boom in demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), of which it is a key supplier.

The Canary Islands and Galicia have set off the Navy’s alarm bells. Russia’s ghost fleet has arrived in Spain with warships

by

Since the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and, above all, after the invasion large-scale ukrainian In 2022, Russia has been perfecting a form of confrontation that avoids direct clashes and moves in the shadows of international law: hybrid war. Sabotage, energy pressure, disinformation and opaque commercial fleets have become tools as strategic as tanks or missiles, and among them the called “ghost fleet”. Now everything indicates that they have found a new route: Spain. The “fleet” arrives from the south. At the end of January 2026, a Russian tanker sanctioned by the European Union was left adrift off the coast of Almería and was escorted by Spanish Maritime Rescue to a port in Morocco without being detained. He did it despite transporting more than 425,000 barrels of refined products of Russian origin. The episode, starring a ship integrated the ghost fleet (old ships, with frequent changes of name and flag and opaque structures of ownership) showed how Spain has become a key point of passage and incident management of a system designed to circumvent Western sanctions. Something happens. In the heart of the western Mediterranean, the Russian hybrid war was beginning to materialize not with missiles, but with timely breakdowns, gray areas of maritime law and routes connecting Russian ports with North Africa under the attentive, but limited, action of the European authorities. Morocco as a hinge, the Canary Islands as an entrance. A few days later, the arrival in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria of a oil tanker from Tangier set off alarms about a possible indirect entry of Russian fuel into Spain, using Morocco as an intermediate platform. Maritime security experts stressed that it was not an illegal operation in itself, but it was an unusual route which fits with the patterns of the ghost fleet, given that Morocco lacks sufficient refining capacity and has become a common destination for oil tankers linked to Russia. The Severomorsk Destroyer in 2023 The crux. The key, they insisted, is in the loading documentation, because the origin of the product remains Russian even if there are intermediate stops. In this context, the Canary Islands appear as a vulnerable link: a lightly guarded Exclusive Economic Zone, located in the transit axis of opaque oil tankers, which reinforces the idea that Spain offers the perfect combination of geography, infrastructure and control loopholes for this new phase of the Russian economic war. Silent pressure. Finally, and in parallel to these commercial and logistical movements, the most classic dimension of Russian naval power has ended up becoming visible in Spanish waters, forcing the Navy Spanish to intensify its surveillance operations. Within a week, Spanish units have followed the transit of several Russian vessels (including the destroyer Severomorsk and a mixed military-merchant convoy) from the Strait of Gibraltar to the Atlantic, with monitoring relays off the Galician coast and constant coordination with the command centers. Hybrid war. These missions, framed in the permanent surveillance of waters of national interest, show that the phenomenon is by no means isolated: while the ghost fleet operates on the economic and logistical level, the Russian naval presence reinforces the strategic pressure about key runners such as the Alboran Sea, Gibraltar and the Atlantic coast. Spain, the perfect route. The sum of these episodes draws a coherent pattern: the russia hybrid war has left the Baltic and the North Sea to settle in the Mediterranean and the eastern Atlantic, and Spain has become one of your most effective routes. It seems clear that all those breakdowns managed without detention, indirect discharges via Morocco, fuels of dubious traceability entering through the Canary Islands and Russian military ships crossing runners strategic are part of the same logic of attrition, ambiguity and saturation that we had already seen in other parts of Europe. And as in those cases, it is not a frontal attack, but rather a constant pressure that exploits the gray areas of trade, energy and maritime security, now placing Spain at the center of a board where war is not declared, it is navigated.

The Auto+ Plan comes with less money, more demands and a key question to resolve

by

Announced for January 1, it was finally in February 2026 when the Auto+ Planthe new aid system for electric cars with which the Government tries to promote the sale of cars with a Zero Emissions label, whether electric or plug-in hybrids. The new aid system comes with important new features, both in the amount that can be obtained and in the way that aid is delivered. Now, in addition, where the car will be made will be taken into account in order to qualify for the maximum possible deduction. This is all that needs to be taken into account. This is what the new aid for electric cars is like After a month of uncertainty, the Government has approved new aid for electric cars that relieves the MOVES III Plan and solves some of the problems that have been dragging on for years. The program has an amount of 400 million euros so, for now, it will only be available until this fund runs out. In it, as we will see, vehicles manufactured in Europe and those with the lowest price are rewarded. And to receive the maximum discounts it will be necessary to overcome different key points. What must be clear is that from the Ministry of Industry and Tourism has not been clarified exactly when the aid will be delivered to the client. The promise was that the discount would be applied at the time of purchase, eliminating the waits of up to 18 months who have come to live with the MOVES III Plan. However, this seems to be up in the air. And in its explanations, the Ministry points out that the aid “will be carried out in coordination with the Autonomous Communities and that “dealers, points of sale and renting companies will be able to help process aid requests” but nothing is specified about what will be delivered at that time. It must be taken into account that The concessionaires already indicated that they were not willing to advance the aid money. First of all, the basic points that must be clear are the following: The aid takes into account all purchases made from January 1, 2026 so those who have purchased an electric car in the first month of the year will be able to have access to them. Aid is only provided for purchases of Zero-emission vehicles. Aid is only provided to passenger cars (M1) whose maximum amount before the application of VAT is 45,000 euros. N1 vehicles (vehicles intended for the transport of goods that do not exceed 3,500 kg) have no purchase limit to receive aid L3e, L4e and L5e vehicles (mopeds) may not exceed 10,000 euros before taxes to receive aid. L6e and L7e vehicles (quadricycles) have no purchase limit to receive aid. The maximum aid for a car will be 4,500 euros. The brand will have to offer a minimum discount of 1,000 euros. It is not clear when the aid will be delivered to the client or how long it will take for the client to receive it.
