Meteorological forecasts are a private preserve. A new AI model wants to democratize the prediction of time

by

A group of researchers has just raised a most striking option: democratize meteorology. Your new weather prediction system challenges traditional systems, very expensive in computational resourcesand make use of AI so that (almost) any of us can become a meteorologist who performs his own personalized predictions. Aardvark Weather. This is the name of a new system of weather predictions that according to those responsible will make any researcher with a desktop PC in a full -fledged meteorologist. The system makes use of AI algorithms and raises an alternative to the conventional systems they use thousands of times more computing capacity. Homemade predictions. The normal thing is that a weather forecast platform takes several hours to process a prognosis. For this, it also needs supercomputers and a team of experts who develop, maintain and display those forecast systems. Aardvark Weather allows you to train an AI model with data from Meteorological stationssatellites, ships or airplanes worldwide and then make predictions based on that data. The investigation. The study Published in Nature this week comes from a group of researchers from the University of Cambridge, the Alan Turing Institute, Microsoft Research and the European Center for Medium-Russian Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). In it they explain how the numerical weather prediction (NWP) is being replaced For automatic learning and neuronal networks that allow “improving the speed and precision” of the prediction. Hyperlocalized forecasts. Among other things the system would allow to offer hyperlocalized forecasts and adapted to specific industries. Richard Turner, automatic learning professor at the University of Cambridge, explained In The Guardian how this model could be used to predict temperatures for agricultural crops in areas of Africa or The wind speeds For a renewable energy company in Europe. The time in the next eight days. Turner adds that the model could be able to generate precise forecasts for a range of up to eight days in the future, when it is normal for precise forecasts to only be guaranteed to five days. Rapid. This system is capable of generating a complete forecast from observational data in a second when processing it in four NVIDIA A100 GPUS, when 1,000 hours-nodo is normally taken in the HRES model of the ECMWF. Ideal for developing countries. There are regions in which these types of forecasts are especially important, and having a “personalized” system would be very useful. Aardvark Weather offers that option according to its creators, because both its implementation and its use is much more accessible. Previous attempts. At the end of 2023 Deepmind precisely Graphcast announceda meteorological prediction system based on AI that had an operation up to 1,000 times cheaper in energy consumption. Its precision was in fact greater than the best of current systems, but it does not seem that development has been implemented in practice. A few months ago Deepmind researchers presented their evolution, called Gencastanother prediction based on automatic learning that improved its predecessor and that of course competes with Aardvark Weather. Everything therefore points to this type of systems are gaining ground and interest, but remains to be seen if they apply massively.

Generating electricity using earth rotation seemed impossible. These physicists have shown that it is not

by

In July 2016, two American physicists, Christopher F. Chyba, from Princeton University, and Kevin P. Hand, from the NASA jet propulsion laboratory, published in Physical Review Apply A very exotic scientific article. In his text they defended the possibility of generating electricity taking advantage of The Earth Rotation Movement. His proposal required to build a device that was able to interact with The magnetic field of our planetbut at that time very few scientists took it seriously. Despite the bad initial reception that his job received, Chyba and Hand have spent the last nine years trying to build his electricity generation machine with the purpose of demonstrating that, indeed, his proposal works. However, during this period they have joined a third physique, Thomas H. Chyba, who investigates in Spectral Sensor Solutions, an Albuquerque company (New Mexico). It is dedicated, among other things, to develop electrooptic sensors to detect chemical, nuclear, biological and radiological threats. Chyba and Hand were right from the beginning On March 19, these three physicists published in Physical Review Research A new scientific article in which they experimentally demonstrate that, as suggested in their 2016 text, it is possible to generate electricity taking advantage of The rotation movement From Earth. To carry out their demonstration they have built the apparatus capable of interacting with The Earth’s magnetic field of which they talked in their 2016 article. Interestingly, this device is very broadly speaking a manganese and zinc ferrite cylinder that behaves like a magnetic shield. The experiment of these three physicists has shown that 18 electricity microvolts were being generated through the cylinder Once they had it ready, they guided him in a north-south direction with an angle of 57 degrees with the purpose of being perpendicular to both to the Earth Rotation Movement as to its magnetic field. And then they placed electrodes at each end of the cylinder to be able to measure the voltage of the electric current that they expected to be generated. And they succeeded. His experiment showed that they were being generated 18 electricity microvolts through the cylinder without any other energy source. According to these physicists, the only plausible possibility is that, as they expected, the land rotation movement is responsible for the generation of this small amount of electricity. When Chyba and Hand proposed their idea in 2016, other scientists criticized it by arguing that any voltage caused by a device similar to that they have finally built would be canceled at the time when electrons were repositioned during the generation of an electric field. But your experiment shows that it is possible to capture that voltage. An 18 microvolt voltage is insignificant in practice. It’s true. However, this is not important; The relevant thing is that, apparently, the proposal of these three physicists works. In fact, your plan goes through climb this technology To generate much more electricity, enough at least to be useful. In any case, there is something important that we should not overlook: its experiment still has to be replicated by other scientists and in other test scenarios to verify that this voltage has not really been generated by any other external source that, perhaps, the protagonists of this article have not taken into account.

In Germany, more than 3,000 employees have responded

by

The only gigafactoría that Tesla has in Europe is going through a deep labor conflict that has unions and directive of the unions and directive of the Tesla Factory in Berlin. The company doubts the Veracity of the casualties due to employee disease and the wick of a conflict has been ignited in which payrolls are being blocked and demanding from salaries already subscribed. 3,000 employees asking for labor improvements. Reuters He informed that 3,086 workers of the Tesla plant in Grünheide had signed A claim of the IG Metall union in which better working conditions were required. The signatories suppose more than a quarter of the entire workforce of the German plant, asking More restbetter staffing and the end of harassment that employees are suffering from the management of the factory. The union indicates in its statement the urgency of applying these claims: “The vote of the workers is clear and unequivocal: the address must introduce without delay the brief pauses paid, such as the norm in various ways in all other automotive plants. Often, there is not even time in the assembly line to take something or go to the bathroom,” IG Mall said next to their claims. Tesla denies the discomfort of the template. According to Financial Timesa union survey among Tesla employees in Germany assured that more than 91% of employees had suffered some kind of physical injury or problems As a direct result of his work, the most frequent back pain being. In contrast, Reuters said that Tesla had conducted her own survey between 7,500 of the 11,000 factory employees in which 80% claimed to be satisfied with her work. Dirk Schulze, regional director of IG Malll, said through A statement Extended by the union, that the petition was a sign that the employees were “defending their demands of better working conditions” and challenged the “disinformation of management”, in clear allusion to some satisfaction results under suspicion of being rigged. Labor absenteeism: the elephant in the room. In the background of claims and the satisfaction of the working conditions are the high loss of the disease that has been registering German gigafactoría for months. Tesla employees have been denouncing the Directive harassment of the factory. According to published the German newspaper Handelsblattthis pressure now has been done Extensive doctors They have signed their casualties. The company would have urged its employees to reveal the diagnosis of “any certified disability to work” and to free doctors who deal with their confidentiality duty. You do not work, there is no salary. The union He has denounced that Tesla is holding the salary of some workers who are discharged, generating a great concern between the template. “With this unacceptable attitude, the company is leading colleagues again and again,” said Dirk Schulze. From the union they ensure that some employees have received letters in which they are required to return part of the wages already perceived by referring to alleged “debts” or “overpagos” that do not correspond to them. “I demand the direction of the Grünheide plant that ends this practice immediately. The intimidation, totally unacceptable, to the companions must cease,” Schulze wrote in his statement. Musk’s anti -unionism. It is no secret that Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has a marked RESTICENCE TO UNIONS. Its anti -union posture is a key factor in the work problem that is lived in German gigafactoría. In fact, the Financial Times stands out A peculiarity in the functioning of the Tesla factory in Germany: its company committee is led by a personnel member not affiliated with a union, an anomaly in the German automotive industry. Elon Musk has been contrary to the presence of unions in their companies in the US. The employees of their factories denounced that they had been dismissed as retaliation for his attempt to union at the plant that the manufacturer has in Buffalo (New York).

Congress was regulated by food waste in Spain. And it has ended up approving wolves hunting

by

The Wolf It sneaks In Congress. Again. And this time with such resounding consequences and after such an unexpected turn that has even called attention of the foreign press. Yesterday the lower house He endorsed That the wolf loses the armor he had achieved in 2021 and can be funded again north of the Duero, something that the PP had tried In 2024. Moreover, Congress has also opened the door that if the community legal framework changes (and in Brussels They already work so that it is) the protection of the wolf is reduced to the south of the river. The curious thing is the shortcut that has been used to retouch the wolf’s legal framework: The law on food waste. What happened? That the wolf has begun to lose its legal armor in Spain. Or what is the same, it will fallen again. At the moment north of the Duero, although once changed The community regulatory framework (Something what He already works the European Commission) its protection could also be reduced to the south. The key step for this regulatory modification was given yesterday in Congress thanks to the votes of the PP, Vox, Junts and PNV. What exactly has changed? The legal framework. Yesterday, during the processing of the food waste law, the lower house gave green light to several amendments centered on the wolf and basically return the species to the situation in which it was before 2021when It was added to the list of wild species in special protection regime (Lespres), What in practice vetoed his hunt north of the Duero, something that already happened to the south of the river. To be precise, yesterday the Congress voted Several thingsnot always with the same distribution of support (Junts abstained in an amendment and backed others, for example). The most important points are basically two. The first is A change In the Royal Decree developed by Lespres to eliminate the protection of the populations of wolf north of the Duero, allowing autonomies to decide on their hunt. And the other modification? The second change looks beyond, both in the calendar and territorial level. During the vote of yesterday the Congress He opened the door that the protection of the wolf can also be reduced to the south of the Duero if the legal armor of the wolf is modified at the community level. Maybe it sounds like something distant or abstract, but it is not. The EU has already activated its Administrative machinery To reduce the status of the species now and go from “strictly protected” to “protected.” In December the CE itself He informed that his proposal had brought the support of the Permanent Committee of the Bern Convention. And once that initial obstacle has not surpassed, it has not taken long in get to work To retouch the habitat directive. How have they achieved it? In Spain the wolf has been starring in political chronicles for some time. That is not new. In April 2024 the Congress already gave A first step In the same direction so that the species cease to be untouchable. The really curious thing about yesterday’s movement, beyond the bottom, is the form. How it has been done. The PP took advantage of the new Loss prevention law and food waste to incorporate its amendment on wolf hunting during the previous process in the Senate. The turn is so curious that it has even caught the attention of The international pressalthough the popular amendment has managed to connect both issues: the food waste and the legal status of the wolf. Its main argument is that with their attacks on sheep and cows directly affect the sector, generating tons of waste. “They suppose an impact on the generation of livestock foods of four million kilos of meat, since there were more than 14,000 dead cattle between calves, cows, foals and sheep,” collect the amendment. Before even the vote in Congress, the Association for the Defense and Study of the Iberian Wolf (ASCEL) already labeled “offensive” and “abuse of power” that the legal status of the wolf is addressed in a law dedicated to waste. Have there been reactions? Yes. In every way. For the PP the objective is “End the nightmare” that thousands of farmers live. The minister for ecological transition, Sara Aagesen, sees it differently and He warned Wednesday that lowering the protection of the wolf in Spain would be a “precipitated, reckless” movement and “contrary to science.” Outside the political arc, the measure has generated different reactions. Yesterday the Royal Spanish Hunting Federation (RFEC) celebrated A decision that, in his opinion, will help “the conservation” of the species and its “coexistence” with livestock. In another release Much harder environmentalist in action spoke of “hate” and “killing”, and warned: the amendment “turns its back on science.” What do the figures say? Recently Juan Carlos Blanco, an expert in the species, explained to The country that right now in Spain there are between 330 and 340 herds of wolves, which would result in some 2,300 animals. The vast majority (95%) are distributed in areas affected by the normative change endorsed by Congress, in Castilla y León, Galicia, Asturias and Cantabria. The Ministry for Ecological Transition warned These days that you are collecting data precisely to advance in its “responsible management.” If the wolf has sneaked into the political debate, both Spanish and European, it is for another aspect: its impact on rural and livestock. Just a year ago The PP warned that communities such as Cantabria or Galicia are giving “subsidies for the protection of their livestock” because “there are 35 attacks on average.” Moreover, he estimated that since the wolf had legally armored the number of lost animals exceeded the million. Now, once the new modification was published in the BOE, it will be the autonomies that will determine how many wolves may be hunt.

The question is if the ‘True Crime’ is getting too far

by

The edition of the book ‘El Odio’, in which José Bretón confesses the murder of his children, has been paralyzed after numerous requests of Ruth Ortiz, woman of the murderer, by the editorial itself that I was going to publish it, Anagrama. Although they believe they have the right to edit it, for the moment they stop the process until there is a legal pronouncement on Ortiz’s requests. A decision that, in any case, puts on the table the controversial literary works written by murderers, and that are lately arriving at the Spanish editorial panorama. The Breton case. José Bretón killed his two children Ruth and José in Córdoba in 2011, but since 2013 and for 12 years he kept his innocence. The book ‘The Hate’ includes the correspondence he has maintained with the journalist Luisgé Martín and in which he finally confesses the crime, which he carried out poisoning them and subsequently incinerating the bodies. Breton was convicted and turns 25 in prison in the maximum security prison of Herrera de la Mancha. The book that was not. ‘Hate’ was going to be published on March 26, with the undoubted commercial hook to include Breton’s confession. As soon as Ruth Ortiz was announced, he went to the service of victims of Andalusia, with whom he presented a letter to the Prosecutor’s Office (first of Córdoba, after Barcelona, ​​where the publisher is) asking that the publication be stopped. The Minister of Equality, Ana Redondo, has expressed support for prevent Ortiz from revictimizing. Anagrama’s aforementioned message manifests his disagreement and mentions works such as Cold Blood ‘of Capote or’ The Adversary ‘of Carrère as precedents. New ways for True Crime. It is one of the Fashion genres indisputable within a morbid variant of the criminal documentaries of a lifetime. On platforms, every very little time triumphs a series or fiction film based on real facts, or documentary that unleash old cases or iconic criminals. In podcasts, programs like ‘Criminopathy‘or’ The Lord of Crimes’, not to mention foundational milestones as’ serial ‘or’ criminal ‘bet on the profusion of data and atmospheric narration. Books on the subject also abound, and practically all publishers have their releases True Crimebut this orientation to give voice to the murderers is new. Or isn’t it so much? More convicts who write. Breton adds to a series of books that different men are recently written. The media Daniel Sancho I would be writing one From prison in Thailand. And Alfonso Basterra, convicted of The assumption casehas written a book in jail, although it has nothing to do with the case that gave it fame: it is a novel that It is titled ‘Cito’ and dedicated to the murdered girl. The three most media cases and that have occupied more hours in the media in recent years between conjectures, follow -ups and gatherings, thus find such a singular as expected editorial counterpart. A long tradition. Breton, Sancho or Basterra cases are not unique. A serial murderer as legendary as John Wayne Gacy detailed his crimes in the Book of Memories ‘A Question of Doubt’, 1992, encouraged by the abundant literature he was generating. And the recently deceased OJ Simpson played with the morbidity of his case with ‘If i did it’, in which he counted, in the form of hypothesisthe crime by which he was tried, although he never published in his original form, but as a commented manuscript. More abundant are the books in which a journalist interviews the criminal or investigates the case and tries to put himself into his skin, as in the classics cited by Anagrama or the ‘Hate’ of Martín and Breton, and that it is not yet clear if we will read.

Go for free to attract MG and Byd factories

by

The electric car is a pressure cooker. One that has a lot of chickpeas and that suggests how those who were well together now that the temperature has risen jump from one side to another. Chickpeas are, of course, the countries of the European Union. In their day they formed ranks to lift tariffs against electric cars (first in the form of compensatory rights). Most seemed to show themselves in favor and only Germany proposed an alternative that did not go through their cars. Both Chinese and German manufacturers produced in China. Little by little, the pot was taking heat and the pressure increased. Inside, those chickpeas that seemed to go to one began to be removed already Show your discomfort. More and more countries began to soften their positions with tariff From abstention to negative. But the fire had already started and the stew had started. There was no way to stop it. The chickpeas jumped through the air and each one took the positions that most interested. Spain, in a 180º degree turn, He went from supporting tariffs to refrain in vote. An aesthetic exercise, the latter, because before on a visit to China, the president of the Government Pedro Sánchez, there was already Praise Chinese electric cars and had been receptive to the Asian country. Now, with a new byd factory on the table, the posture change gains more importance than ever. Europe and Spain, on different roads The expansion of Byd is being one of the hot topics currently in the European car. Both for the factory that is yet to come and the one in motion. By order. Europe puts difficult things … Although Europe raised tariffs to the Chinese electric car, it kept the door open to its investments and it is understood that Do not impose new levies To vehicles moved with combustion engines (including plug -in hybrids) it was a hand laid to China. Chinese brands soon took the initiative with the soil search In Europe to make their cars … more or less. Byd confirmed a plant in Hungary and Later in Türkiyesince the country has a Commercial Agreement with the European Union that you should allow you to export cars without paying tariffs for them. Another proposal was that of the Chery group, which has been made with the Nissan facilities in Barcelona to produce cars that, in reality, They arrive in kits from China And here they just finish riding. Both this option and that of Türkiye are in the spotlight of the European Commission that already warned that more powerful investments would be needed to get rid of the economic lock. But, in addition, the European Commission seems willing to put the most complicated things to Chinese manufacturers. Financial Times He explains that the Byd plant in Hungary is being built with illegal subsidies of the Chinese state. The European Commission studies punishing Byd for the very small value generated despite raising a factory in Hungary If confirmed, the economic newspaper notes that the European Commission could force the Chinese company “to sell some assets, reduce the capacity, reimburse the subsidy and potentially pay a fine for non -compliance“. What they maintain in the heart of the European Union is that the factory has been built with Chinese labor and only uses Chinese pieces, both for batteries and their cars, creating very little value. The issue is delicate because the Hungarian government, led by Viktor Orbán, is part of the Easceptics and is one of the greatest critics of the European Union. In addition, it has been very close to Beijing, which seems essential for the company to have invested 4,000 million euros in Hungarian soil in a factory that can use 10,000 people. And we must add that The situation of Hungary Within the European Union it is key because it allows you to access a cheaper labor but without complicating the distribution of cars in its European cast. … And Spain goes for free As we said, one of those chickpeas that began stirring and ended up jumping through the air looking for their own destination was Spain. Our country played Iberian pig exports They have the Chinese market as essential to square the accounts at the end of the year. But also huge amounts of money. To start, the arrival of the Chery group to Barcelona. Then the investments have materialized. First with the arrival of companies to Spanish key ports but, above all, with the investment of 7,000 million euros that catl It will carry out in Aragon next to Stellantis to nurture the batteries of small electric cars that the automobile group will produce in Zaragoza. “President Sánchez’s position change with electric vehicles has been very important. It has been highly appreciated by Chinese companies and We appreciate it with 10,000 million investments in Spain“The words are from Yao Jing, Chinese ambassador to Spain before a group of journalists, collect in The world. Those 10,000 million euros are formed by the 7,000 million euros of Catl but also for the 3,000 million euros that in investing invision and hygreen energy in the south of the country, although these last two projects still have to get ahead. ENVISION has already committed to Invest around 3.8 billion euros In Spain in 2022. The bulk would be taken a battery factory in Navalmoral de la Mata (Cáceres) with 2.5 billion euros of investment. The rest would be distributed by Alcazar de San Juan (Ciudad Real) and Navas del Marqués (Ávila) in projects for the production of renewable energy and its storage. Last year, after the Visit from Pedro Sánchez to Chinathe investment of another 900 million euros in investment of electrolyte with Hygreen Energy money. But the Cordial relations between China and Spain They continue because there are still very juicy projects floating on the European continent. “We are proposing more economic projects with Spain,” he said in his contact with Yao Jing journalists.

What is it for and what does this option do

by

Let’s explain How to lower the volume of notificationsa newly arrived option to Android 15 that it was not expected until Android 16. It is an option aimed at helping those people who have the mobile playing all day due to excess notifications. We are going to start the article briefly describing for what is useful to have this option activated. And then, we will tell you step by step how to get to it to activate it on your Android mobile, as long as it is already updated to version 15. What is this option for There are two types of user in terms of mobile phone notifications: those who have the sound activated and those who do not. If you are one of the first, you may face the problem that You have so many notifications that ends up being annoying Receive beeps every time. And if you are the second type of person, then you may miss some important notification. In the event that you like to have active notifications, it is important to configure them to deactivate those apps that you do not use, or configure what notifications of each app are shown. Although sometimes this is not enough, and the option to lower the volume of notifications comes to give you extra help. When you have this option activated, if your Android mobile detects that you receive many notifications in a short time, will automatically lower the volume of these. In addition to this, It will also minimize alerts so that there are less amount of notifications. These measures will be extended automatically For a maximum of 2 minutesso it will only affect you when you receive one of those specific storms of notifications. But notifications do not lose them, because they will continue to leave on the panel that Android shows dragging the upper part of the screen. Calls, alarms and priority conversations They are not going to be affected. This means that its volume will not decrease, nor will you receive less from its notifications. Come on, if they call you you will hear it the same, and the same with the alarms. For the rest, you should configure priority contacts so that their messages are not affected either. How to activate Download notifications To activate the option of Lower the volume of notificationsyou have to have an updated mobile to Android 15. Once inside, Go to the section of Notifications From the settings of your device. Once within the section Notifications Of the adjustments, you will see a large number of options. Here, you will have to go down for them and click on the option Download notifications that will appear within the section General. Once you enter inside, you simply have to activate the option of Lower the volume of notifications That will appear. Here, remember that depending on the manufacturer of your mobile the names of the sections and options where to enter can vary, and it is possible that this option is not even implemented until later.

The success of goal AI in the US has been limited, but now they want to try in a country addicted to WhatsApp: Spain

by

It is late, that sure. The question is whether he will achieve what he has not achieved in the United States. There they can use Goal AI Integrated on Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram for almost a year, but it does not seem that these options have managed to convert this platform into a success. Will they do so in Spain and other countries in Europe? Goal AI sneaks into your chats. The Meta AI announcement in April 2024 raised A very different approach to that of chatgpt. Instead of considering as an independent chatbot that one can use in a web browser, he invited us to use it as part of WhatsApp, Facebook or Instagram. He sneaked into our chats And in our social networks, and the question was if that strategy would work. Modest options. We could Test goal AI Thanks to the use of a VPN when it appeared in the US, and its options seemed decent, but of course not striking in front of the competition. In order to focus, it was still the integration of the service into its social networks. Many users … After all this time the adoption of this AI platform has been remarkable according to those responsible. Susan li, cfo in the company, indicated To investors in January 2025 how Meta AI already had 700 million active monthly users – who have used it at least once a month -, compared to December 600. Growth seems striking, but talking about monthly users is very different from talking about weekly or daily users. … but with apparent little use. In fact, David Curry, from the Business of Apps consultant, indicated in CNBC In December that the Meta AI website generates only 10 million visits per month, much less than great services such as Chatgpt or Gemini, and even that less popular services such as Anthropic Claude. Of course, what matters is that users use it within the platform, but their success at WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook is an unknown and it is not easy to measure it. Goal does not want us to get out of WhatsApp. A priori the idea seemed suggestive and promising: WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook are already applications in which people spend hours a day, so trying to offer an AI directly in them seemed logical. However, the personal character of these applications collided with that more general use of AI. Ask an AI inside WhatsApp for a recipe or a summary of some data does not seem so natural for that more personal function, and although the option is useful, it does not seem to have set among those who have tried it. Users complain. Some of the users who have tried it in the US They simply hate her and warn how to use it that data is collected and can be used to give them to advertiserswhich means another threat to privacy. Others ask why it cannot be deactivated or eliminate from your apps. In fact, one of the debates around the goal strategy is precisely at that point: the company He has forced To users to have a goal AI in those applications without having requested it. Will we chat with goal AI in Spain? The adoption of WhatsApp is particularly high in Spain, and this may be a good opportunity to know if the idea of ​​goal works here. In the US that option does not seem to have been a success, which makes you doubt its success in other regions. In the company, yes, they seem to be preparing for that eventuality. But now they want to bet on an independent app. Although goal AI has Web versionthat option is still not available in Spain or in other countries of the European Union. Integration into their social networks does not seem to have been the success they expected, because now the company is determined to Offer an independent application to the chatgpt style. Mark Zuckerberg I had already warned of that intention at the beginning of the year, in fact. After the appearance of the news, even Sam Altman joked indicating that perhaps it was time that in OpenAi they began to create a social network. Goal AI Plus. Everything points to what goal will offer both a free version of its service – as the one it already offers – as a payment. That “goal ai plus” would adopt the subscription model and thus compete with Chatgpt plus and other similar services. Here the challenge is precisely to offer more striking options than those of other services, something that for now does not seem to happen. Well in Open Source, regulate in the rest. Calls, THE OPEN SOURCE OF METAit is excellent for developers and for those who want to use AI at home, but their benefits compete with those of increasingly striking models, and a goal, for example, does not offer reasoning model that competes with Deepseek R1 nor has he announced news on very fashionable land such as AI agents or search engines. In Xataka | We already know how much spending on AI by companies in 2024 has grown. An absolute barbarity
