There is finally water in swamps

by

148 liters in the province of Castellón, 81 in Cáceres, 71.2 in Cádiz, 66.4 in Valencia or 63.4 in Segovia’s: it’s raining In Spain. It is raining a lot. AND, according to what the models saywill continue to do so in the next few days (and throughout the month). The authorities They have launched Several urgent alerts For the danger of floods, They have suspended classes And there is already at least A deceased in a Rambla from the Murcian city of Lorca. It is nothing unusual. On the contrary, it is something that It is repeated every time it rains more than normal. The difference is that, between chaos and tragedy, the rains have already left us good news. And the best example is Malaga. The Malaga reservoirs are at 30.4% of their capacity, about 14.52 cubic hectometers than a week ago. The data sound good, they are positive: but if we put them in context, they are fantastic. As José Antonio Sau explaineda year ago “the seven swamp of Malaga had reserves of 97.97 cubic hectometers.” They are now in 185.84. That is, the water reservoir in the Andalusian province has suffered an increase of 89.69% compared to last year. And, to all this, we have to take into account that much of the water that has fallen has not yet reached the swamps. It is true that The vineyuela (The key reservoir for agricultural production in the province) is 21.95%, but last year was 7.88% of its capacity. Not everywhere … Something similar could be said from Barcelona: Sau’s swamp has also folded reservoir water (from 2.42 to 5.45%), but the situation there is much more complex because The Ter-llobregat system is exhausted. The change is positive, but everything seems to indicate that except miracle of last minute Catalonia will enter alert for drought in the coming weeks. Almería, for example, is more or less in the same situation as last year (8.48 vs 8.93%) and, unlike Murcia, is not receiving much water in recent days. … But March can be key. As we said yesterdaya powerful blocking anticyclone between Greenland, the Baltic Peninsula and the British Isles is being formed. That is, just where Atlantic storms loaded with water usually pass. This is the great meteorological news of the moment because, if everything is going well, it will make Atlantic storms go down and expose us to “wet and soft flows.” The Latest models outputs They reinforce that idea. We face spring and summer with many uncertainties (climatic uncertainties that add to all others). Nevertheless, March promises to bring peace of mind. For now (although unevenly) it is fulfilling.

After 80 years of peace, the European Union has a future plan for the continent: a new era of the "rearmament"

by

Europe lives a convulsive geopolitical situation. For various factors, but aggravated after Ukraine invasion by Russia. There are too many open challenges: economic pressures, commercial and technological confrontation due to the Commercial War with China (who has caught electric car already ASML in between), disunity between member states and the growing tensions with the United States. All this has been intensified in recent weeks and the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, is clear about the way: rearm Europe. To a scrambled river … For his second term as president of the United States, Donald Trump has arrived with everything. In issues related to Europe, the billionaire has ruled on Tariffs to European productsbut has also shown interest in get with Greenland already Ukraine War. That idea of ​​getting with Greenland caused a Danish response movement so that The country will buy California On the other hand, the intention to achieve peace in Ukraine is not an altruistic movement. An objective is to stop investing in security in foreign countries. Another, power Control rare earth deposits. The reports of your presence in Ukrainian soil They seem to be outdatedbut that does not stop the ambitions of a Trump that starred last weekend A curious act with Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski. In Xataka The size of the armies of the main powers, summarized in this interesting graphic The gresca. On February 28 we witnessed an unusual event: a encounter between Zelenski, Trump and JD Vance, vice president of the United States. If something was clear after the heated debate Television in Prime Time is that both leaders have a total lack of tune (before it already declared that it was difficult to reach an agreement with Zelenski and Lo Lo called “dictator”). But perhaps it is more than a lack of understanding among the leaders of two countries. You cannot count on the US. The reason is that, after the event, Europe has closed rows Around Ukraine. Different European leaders have shown support to the Ukrainian leader, with quick responses such as Pedro Sánchez and Feijóo supporting the European country. The American response has not taken long to arrive. A few hours ago, Donald Trump ordered paralyze military aid to Ukraine as a punishment for Friday’s encounter. “Rearm Europe“. The anger among the leaders, who looked like an enclosure in the White House, promoted a feeling in networks among European users: you cannot count on the United States, and Europe has to act to deal with external threats. And it is not a popular runrún, but something that, from the European Commission itself, has just supported. President Ursula von der Leyen has signed a release urging member states to join the European Rearme Plan: Rearm Europe. In it, it begins by expressing two important issues: that Europe is threatened in a “real and tangible” and that it must “assume a greater responsibility for its own security.” The Ukraine War is that of drones … and robots Beyond Ukraine. After different meetings in recent weeks, the community has concluded that “massively increase defense spending”. The president refers to the situation in Ukraine and states that this measure must be taken with “immediate urgency” to support the European country, but must also be addressed to fulfill a “long -term need to assume much greater responsibility for our own security.” The plan. Thus, he has sent a letter to European leaders to raise this issue before the European Council to be held this Thursday. In it, and at the meeting, the option of using “all financial mechanisms will be discussed at reach to help member states quickly and significantly increase their expenses in defense capacities.” The intention of Von der Leyen is that it is immediate and urgent, but that it is formalized throughout this decade. In Xataka Ukraine has registered the first combined offensive of history without humans: drones and robots against Russian troops Show me the money. Of course, this type of movements require considerable investment. United States, without going any further, will invest 850,000 million dollars in defense -40% of global military spending. The way Europe would have to catch up, according to the president, is: Release the use of public funds in defense nationwide, allowing member states to have fiscal margin to be able to invest without activating the excessive deficit procedure. According to the statement, if the states increased their defense expenditure by 1.5% of the average GDP, a fiscal margin of almost 650,000 million euros would be generated in four years. Activate an instrument that provides loans of up to 150,000 million euros to invest in defense. Under the mantra “spend better and spend together”, von der Leyen clarifies that investment in air defense, antimiles, artillery systems, missiles, ammunition, cybersecurity, military mobility and something that the war of Ukraine has brought to the table should be reinforced: the war with drones and the defense against those drones. Redirect funds to investments related to incentive defense for Member States to decide, if they wish, use cohesion policy programs to increase defense spending. Finally, the option of obtaining funds through the European Investment Bank, but also with measures to mobilize private capital. {“Videid”: “X8WLH9Q”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “United States vs. China: The chips war”, “Tag”: “Webedia-prod”, “Duration”: “1611”} NATO message. Among all the noise generated these days, it has survived the idea that United States abandons the United Nations Organization. The North American country is one of those who best fulfill their obligations In this sense and, recently, voices that cry out that the country should leave NATO have been raised. Elon Musk, part of Trump’s government, been One of them. The agreements stipulate that, if someone attacks an NATO country, the rest must immediately mobilize, but the latest movements of the United States and comments such as that of which They will not be foreverThey don’t help.

The Z generation has returned to the office with a new strategy against stress: pretend to be very busy

by

In general, all employees are suffering, in one way or another, their own process of Adaptation to the office. However, generation Z is the only one that has not had a Previous work experience Since that context since it has joined the labor market in the middle of the teleworking. That has generated that 36% of Genzers has adopted a new strategy for face the office: The “tasking”. A tactic, which consists in appearing to be superocupated, without really being to fill out the free time they have left after doing their job. Tasking Tasking: The art of looking occupied. If you have been sailing lately for the Instagram or Tiktok reels, they will probably have appeared Some videos (Medium in a half joke seriously), showing how to look very busy in the office, without really doing anything productive. This phenomenon has gained importance as companies require more time in the office, which leads some employees to find ways to demonstrate their worth without necessarily increase their real productivity. Actually, what is hidden after this practice is a deeper problem related to time management, workload and business culture. Returning to the office has no impact on productivity. According to A recent survey carried out by the Workuman Human Resources Platform among 3,000 US participants, the United Kingdom and Ireland, 36% of young people admitted to appear who worked, when in reality he had already finished their assigned work. 70% of them acknowledge that Tasking Tasking has had no effect on their rhythm to carry out their usual work and the tasks assigned in a time below their day have ended. But having to spend more time in the office, they must appear that they still work on them so that their bosses Do not overload them With more work. Yes, in reality, they are more productive. If you have reached this point, having read the two previous paragraphs probably your conclusion, they have managed to do your work in less time of the expected. That makes them more productive employees. Why mask that quality? According to experts consulted by Fortunethe lack of commitment to the values ​​of the company and the belief that their work is not being valued enough, is what could be leading young people to implement this variant of the Silent resignation. The young people only do the work assigned to them, filling the rest of the day with a show in the “productivity theater“That has brought the return to the office. It is not limited only to employees. Pretending to be very busy is not something that is limited to younger employees. The workhuman study has revealed that 38% of senior executives and 37% of intermediate managers pretend to be more busy for the gallery than they really are. Gene generation employees feel their worth It is measured by its presence in the office and their apparent dedication, instead of the real results they deliver. This perception is reinforced by the culture of some companies that The hours worked more value than efficiency. “Your career is not built on the hours you spend on your desktop, but about the results, relationships and reputation. If you do not see the value of being in the office, have an open conversation with your employer. If the culture continues declared to Fortune Victoria McLean, founder of the Labor CITY CV. The causes that cause it. According to the answers obtained by the workhuman study, the main reason for this behavior is to improve the balance between personal and work life, something that generation Z values ​​above all. If your bosses find out what they can do More work in less timethey will assign them much more. When they cannot face him, they must sacrifice personal time to get him forward. That is a red line that They do not plan to transfer. The stress cycle. However, pretending to be productive so that bosses do not assign more work and grow their stress, it contributes precisely to generate a new focus of stress: the constant mental burden involved in maintaining a credible appearance of being busy. Jenni Field, founder and executive director of Redefining Communications assured Fortune that: “If people must be in the office, there must be a clear purpose beyond just being seen, especially if the work could be done from home. If there is no that purpose, employees and managers should work together to define how the witness work should be and address the fundamental causes of the task masking.” In Xataka | Generation Z is being a challenge for companies: 95% of young people manage to escape Image | Unspash (RAD MINE)

One of Tesla’s parents points to the most recurring error of electric cars

by

When maximizing the Autonomy of electric carsthere are two very clearly differentiated currents. The first commitment to brute force, by gigantic batteries or the improvement of their density to get a higher performance. The second option is what is committed to better aerodynamic efficiency and engines. In this last route we have found companies like Mazda, who They were fully positioned against of the larger batteries Since, according to them, they suppose an overweight that not only must move, the dynamics of the vehicle also worsen. Mercedes, although in some of his cars he has huge batteries, also explained the day we got into Spectacular Mercedes Vision EQXX that its strategy involves improving the efficiency of engines and aerodynamics. In fact, next Electric Mercedes It should be the best expression of the latter. Now it has been the CEO of Lucid Air, one of the parents of Tesla Model S, who has positioned himself in this current of thought. The company aspires to fight for Tesla for offering the most efficient electric car in the market and its CEO is clear: “Many electric cars are why.” A clear bet to consume less The words of Peter Rawlinson, CEO of Lucid Air, are aimed at the concept of the electric car itself, which explains in an interview with Coach. According to Rawlinson, so far manufacturers have focused on offering electric cars as a way to reduce pollutants of CO2. That has forced them to include huge batteries if they want to achieve the greatest possible autonomy with the least effort. But that, for the Lucid Air CEO, is a wrong approach. Your approach walks in the direction of betting on the electric car to get “a better car” And not an electric solution of the same thing we already have. And that inevitably goes through efficiency. “Not only by making a car more efficient, it is using less energy in the world, but is also using less battery and mineral resources,” he explains in his interview. “He Lucid Air Pure is literally the most energetically efficient car in the world. It uses less energy to go from A B, whatever its fuel, than any mass production car in the 130 years of car history, “he defends. To defend these data, Rawlinson is based on the MPGE calculation that is done in the United States. To compare the consumption of electric cars with gasoline, it compares how many miles would be able to travel an electric car if you used a gallon of gasoline (3,785 liters). In Car and Driver They also talk about Lucid Air Pure as the car with greater autonomy they have tried. The point is that for the Lucid Air CEO this has huge advantages. First because “less minerals and resources are used (…) that means less lithium mines, less cobalt mining, less nickel” so, as we said, it is not only a matter of CO2. That also because if you need less electricity, it will produce a lower carbon footprint. But, in addition, it assumes the Mazda approach. If the car is less heavy it is more agile and is more comfortable and pleasant to drive. It also specifies that it is a clear improvement in front of the gasoline car. Defends that a more efficient car is irremediable than present Worst benefits But this is not so with an electric car. If the latter manages to put smaller batteries, he wins in dynamism while maintaining benefits that leave behind the car moved by fossil fuels. All this add reasons to leave us before many electric cars that “are why.” They have “very poor” autonomies because they have focused on reducing car costs to the maximum and, among them, the size of the batteries. However, without adequate technology, these batteries are removed less than they could deliver. If engines efficiency would be improved, those same cars could travel many more kilometers. Rawlinson points out that this is one of the reasons why electric car sales are stagnant in the United States: “At this time, we do not have a safe infrastructure and we do not have enough cars with large autonomies. That is why it is a horrible experience.” Words that sound to us in Spain and that, luckily, we are leaving behind.

TSMC has found a way to avoid US tariffs. Although 100,000 million dollars will have to spend

by

Trump wins. And TSMC, actually, too. During the last two years we have spoken in dozens of articles of The three semiconductor factories as a avant -garde that this Taiwanese company is getting ready in Arizona (USA). Approximately will be spent on them 65,000 million dollarsalthough they will cost much more (each high integration chip production plant costs approximately 30,000 million). The rest of the money subsidies will be provided approved by the administration led by Joe Biden. For TSMC it is crucial to develop its integrated circuit production infrastructure beyond Taiwan’s borders. The only way to hold your business if in the future it is triggered A war conflict with China It is precisely having a very solid network of factories outside the island. And, if possible, out of Asia. In any case, there is another reason why TSMC is very interested in having more chips plants in the US: tariffs approved by the administration led by Donald Trump. Tariffs are strengthening the US technological ecosystem At the end of last January Donald Trump launched a warning Very forceful to TSMC: “In the very close future we will impose tariffs on foreign production of computer chips, semiconductors and pharmaceutical products to return the manufacture of these essential goods to the US (…) went to Taiwan; now we want them to return. We do not want to give them billions of dollars in the ridiculous Biden program. They already have thousands of dollars. money; The Trump government ensures that you will impose tariffs on all electronic devices that incorporate chips produced abroad Although this statement is expressly addressed to TSMC, the Trump government ensures that it will impose tariffs on all electronic devices that incorporate chips produced abroad. They belong or not to US companies. This decision has caused all the large US technology companies to rush with the administration with the purpose of drawing a plan that allows them to dodge tariffs. Apple is one of them. Just a week ago those of Cupertino announced that They will invest 500,000 million dollars in the US During the next four years to dodge the threat of tariffs. This money will be destined, among other purposes, to the construction of a new server factory for artificial intelligence (AI) In Houston, at the point of a training center in Detroit and the creation of 20,000 jobs. This is the context in which TSMC has just confirmed that something similar is going to do. And it is that a few hours ago CC Wei, the president and general director of TSMC, Donald Trump and Howard Lutnick, the US Secretary of Commerce, They have announced that this manufacturer of integrated circuits will invest at least 100,000 million dollars in the construction of five new semiconductor production plants in the US. These facilities are added to which TSMC is already making a point in Arizona (the first of these three factories It has already started chips production). Three of the new five floors will be integrated avant -garde circuit factories, and two of the facilities will be dedicated to the advanced chips packaging. In addition, a research and development center will be ready. Presumably these plants will create, according to TSMC, about 40,000 jobs. Anyway, everyone wins. The US government is achieving its purpose: drastically limiting its dependence on chips manufactured abroad and controlling 40% of global semiconductor production. And TSMC protects itself against a possible future conflict between China and Taiwan, and dodges US tariffs. Image | TSMC More information | Nikkei Asia In Xataka | Intel has a bullet in the bedroom.

Tenants spend more than recommended for rent. And there is something that explains it: “Hot Spots” internationalized

by

Buying house is not easy. Rent, either. Every month a large part of Spanish families living as tenants disheve The advice Of the experts and expose their pockets to situations of “overexertion”, which means that they are forced to pay their landlords a pinch of their income greater than desirable. When it goes down to detail, like He has just made idealisthowever, a curious phenomenon is observed: not in all cities the tenants make the same effort. Moreover, there are many provincial capitals in which this effort is totally assumed. The Great question Therefore it is: is overwriting a problem of the Spanish residential market in general or rather something that weighs on certain internationalized cities, such as Madrid, Barcelona and Malaga? A percentage: 36%. That is the “effort rate” that supported the closure of 2024 Spanish households living for rent. Or at least this has been calculated idealist in A study in which he nourishes two major sources: the ads published on their own website and the National Statistics Institute (INE), which has served to obtain information on homes and rent of families. The data is interesting because (technicalities separately) the “effort rate” is an important indicator for any tenant: shows what percentage of income dedicates to paying your home. The general recommendation is that this expense It does not exceed 30% of annual profits. There are those who stretch it a little more and talk about overwhelming alone From 40%. One or another reference is taken, idealist reflects that on Middle Spain exceeds the 30% barrier and steady the red zone. Click on the image to go to Tweet. A figure: 981 euros. The study Not only does the thermometer that Spaniards make to pay their rentals make. It also goes down to data in euros and sound. And its conclusion is that, on average, in Spain there is a two -room -type floor requires 981 euros per month, quite above what it would have to cost for a home standard He could rent it without crossing that red line of 30% of his annual income. Idealista believes that this “reasonable” and assumed price is 764 euros. The fact is interesting again for several reasons. First because it reflects that the difference between the “reasonable” price and the average that is handled in the market is 217 euros per month. Second because the study shows that there are very few homes that fit (or are below) of those 764 euros. According to their calculations, they are only 32%, which means that the remaining 68% of the rental housing offer requires the tenants to tighten their finances. A city: Barcelona. In Your study Idealista goes down to the detail of some provincial capitals, which allows you to appreciate an interesting reality. The effort to deal with rentals is not equally intense in all cities. Moreover, there are enough cities in which (on average) families are not even forced to cross the red line of 30% of their annual income. It is well seen comparing two extreme cases: Barcelona and Ciudad Real. In the first, the city, idealist Calculate That the “reasonable rent” for a two -bedroom floor would be 1,036 euros. That is, that is the monthly income that Barcelona families could pay without having to spend more money from their recommended income. However, there are very few houses that fit that stop, only 16%. Royal market rentals are much higher and are on average in 1,796, which explains that the city has the highest effort rate of the capitals: 49%. In the opposite pole is Ciudad Real, where Idealista’s photo It is radically different. There the “reasonable rental” barrier would be at 881 euros, an amount to which 98% of the homes offered are adjusted. Moreover, the average monthly payment is requested by a two -bedroom house is 501 euros, below that red line. Consequently, the effort rate is only 16%. Capital Effort rate (two bedroom housing) Barcelona 49% Palm 45% Malaga 42% Madrid, Valencia 41% Alicante 38% Segovia 35% Las Palmas de GC, Donostia 34% S/C of Tenerife 33% Bilbao 32% Girona 31% Seville 30% Cádiz 28% Granada, Vitoria-Gasteiz 27% Pamplona, ​​Coruña 26% Ceuta, Salamanca, Guadalajara, Santander, Huelva, Almería 25% Tarragona, Pontevedra, Oviedo, Córdoba, Albacete, Castellón de la Plana 24% León, Valladolid, Zaragoza, Logroño, Ávila 23% Murcia, Badajoza, Zamora, Soria, Lugo, Burgos 22% Ourense, Cuenca, Cáceres, Lleida, Huesca, Toledo 21% Melilla, Jaén 20% Palencia, Teruel 19% Ciudad Real 16% Spain 36% One question: Is it an isolated case? No. Neither from Barcelona nor that of Ciudad Real. In fact, the report reveals something else: that although on Middle Spain it registers an effort rate of 36%, several points above the desirable for tenants, in reality that indicator only exceeds 30% in a handful of large capitals characterized by its high population, internationalization and tourist profile. In Malaga, for example, which has highlighted In recent years for its ability to capture technological multinationals and as Digital nomad destinationthe effort rate is 42%. In tourist points such as Palma, Valencia, Alicante, Las Palmas, Donostia or Tenerife also exceed 30%. A fact: 39 capitals. Ciudad Real is not the only town in which the effort rate is in the lathe or even below 20%. In the same situation are Teruel, Palencia, Jaén and Melilla. In general, the idealist reflects that there are 39 capitals in which the indicator does not reach 30%. Eight other provincial headwaters move between 30 and 40% and there are five between 40 and 49%. The data are in line with the evolution of the effort rate nationallywhich has remained between 2020 and 2021 around 30% and has increased in recent years, but without exceeding 40%, such as In Barcelona or Madrid. A footnote. The idealist study is just that, a study. And as such it must be taken, also taking into account that focusing its analysis on a very concrete profile: its authors have focused on a profile of 2.4 people/home, “a current average … Read more

Telefónica exhibits its defenses in Barcelona

by

At some point the Quantum computers They will break the current encryption systems, and that risk will force all companies to completely rethink their safety protocols. Telefónica wants to anticipate with the creation of a center of excellence, as announced during the MWC 2025. Why is it important. The strategy initially focuses on what they have called “cryptility”: develop mechanisms that allow their systems to adapt quickly when quantum threats materialize. And this approach will also be offered to customers. The context. The advances in quantum computing are a counterreloj career for telecos. Who does not have their adapted systems when quantum threats materialize will remain in vulnerability situation. That will be when these computers reach enough power to break the current cryptography. Telefónica faces this transformation into full guard of guard, And not only in the presidency: Enrique Blanco, current Ctio Global, will leave the company at the end of March after four decades, being replaced by Andrea Folgueiras. Both appear in the image headed by this article. Between the lines. The “cryptility” strategy that seeks not only to protect its own networks, but to become a post-quantic security provider for third parties, opening a new business line. In other words: this announcement has to see that with improving security, but also with opening a new business line. Yes, but. The operator has not specified during the announcement the investment for the new center or how many professionals will integrate it, key aspects to understand the real magnitude of the commitment beyond the announcement. The statement also does not detail specific deadlines for the implementation of quantum solutions. It is limited to highlighting that they work on it as part of their future strategy. Asked the spokesmen for Xataka On this issue, Blanco did not give figures or specific deadlines, but he explained that they have been working in this field for a decade, doing limited evidence in areas such as Madrid or Vizcaya. Limited in distance (“no more than 70 kilometers”) or in the use of incipient, but not mature algorithms. Enrique Blanco at the end of the presentation, thanking the media for “his respect” in recent weeks in Telefónica. Image: Xataka. “We have a lot of knowledge in quantum technologies, we are starting to make applicable technology. And we begin to have an industry interested in this type of services, customers to work monographically,” Blanco said. He added that “I hope within three, four or five years we have a very relevant number of technicians who are managing services, sensory and quantum computing. The center is approved, we will begin to provide it with resources as Telefónica and outside of Telefónica.” In detail. The operator has presented three practical demonstrations in her stand of the MWC under the name ‘Quantum-Safe Networks‘: A ROV submarine operated remotely from Barcelona to Gran Canaria using 5G networks with post-chartic encryption, keeping low latency even under water. Smart accountants with protected ESIM through algorithms Quantum-Safpreventing future attackers to supplant operators or manipulate measurements. IoT devices with post-whattical encryption managed from the platform Kite. Image: Telefónica. In figures. This movement is part of a broader transformation that has already allowed Telefónica to reduce its energy consumption by 7.9% since 2015, while traffic multiplied by 9.3. The operator manages a network that reaches fiber 180 million homes and has deployed 5G SA In four key countries: Spain, Brazil, Germany and the United Kingdom. Missing? It remains to be seen if Telefónica will attract the necessary talent in a highly specialized field where the great technology around the world compete for the best Quantum Physics experts and engineering. Success will also depend on its ability to establish alliances with research centers and leading technology companies, since it can hardly develop all technology internally. And now what. The Center will coordinate the innovation lines of the different areas of Teleco, will promote new solutions and activate technological agreements with third parties, as Telefónica explained during its presentation. Meanwhile, Telefónica continues to advance in The hyper-automatization of your network through the ANJ programwith the aim of reaching this year the level 4 of autonomy in certain processes, allowing the network to make complex decisions for itself.

Nvidia lost 265,000 million dollars yesterday. Tariffs have caused terror among technology

by

Nvidia lost 265,000 million dollars yesterday. It was an especially Aciaga for her, with 8.69% fall in the value of her action, but the day was dyed red throughout the technology industry. The trigger for that setback in the bags was clear: the tariffs. Donald Trump confirms tariffs. After announce tariffs to Canada and Mexicothe US president initially postponed his application, but yesterday announced that they would definitely enter into force as of today.

Anthropic lifts another 3.5 billion investment. It is just what they need to survive in an absolutely unleashed segment

It’s as if money It is not over. At least in the case of AI, a sector in which spectacular investment rounds follow each other continuously. The confidence in startups and companies that work in AI models is extraordinary in the United States, and we have a last example of that AI fever. Anthropic lifts 3.5 billion dollars. The company has announced which has managed to complete a new investment round that will allow you to have 3.5 billion dollars from now on. It is not a figure as high as those they achieved OpenAI either XAI Recently, but it is still colossal. This time the great protagonists have not been Amazon or Google, but Lightspeed Venture Partners and other venture capital firms. It is worth more than Mercedes-Benz. That round makes the current assessment of Anthropic ascend to 61.5 billion dollars, an equally unique figure that would place it ahead of Mercedes-Benz (60,000 million dollars of valuation) if we equate that assessment with the market capitalization of the German automotive giant. But far from OpenAi. The investment round raised was going to be about 2,000 million dollars, but there was more demand than expected and finally raised much more money. Of course, its current assessment is still far from Openai’s, which is estimated to be around 300,000 million dollars. Money to continue working in AI. Those responsible for Anthropic point out how that new capital injection will allow them to continue developing “smarter and most capable AI systems that expand the ability that the human being can achieve.” Income is encouraged, but …. The projected income rate (Revenue Run Rate) of Anthropic was in 2024 of 1,000 million Ded Dolla, but now it is estimated that this rate has grown by 30%, a really fast pace. It is a remarkable figure, but it is probably well below what the company spends over a year to disappoint its models and maintain all its operational infrastructure. It is estimated which in 2024 spent 5.6 billion dollars. Claude 3.7 Sonnet animates things. The recent launch of its new hybrid model, Claude 3.7 Sonnethas once again demonstrated that the company is still a clear reference in this sector. The performance of this model is outstanding, especially in areas such as programming. But his future is complicated. Despite having one of the best generative products in the market, the company It depends absolutely on risk capital And of these investment rounds, at least for now. The competition is fierce And it also comes from companies with many more funds, which further complicates the thing for Anthropic. Investment in AI is unleashed. But for now it does not seem that the rhythm decays. The investment rounds continue to reach both these startups and companies already settled and the new ones that for example created recently Look Murati either Ilya Sutskever. The expectations about AI remain huge, and that continues to make money not stop. That is good news for the segment in general, but above all for Anthropic in particular.
