The founder of Deepseek has been placed in just two weeks among the greatest fortunes of Asia. But it depends on who you ask

by

The presentation of Deepseek R1China’s artificial intelligence model has shaken the foundations on which AI in the West was being built. A priori, this model would have achieved similar results to those of OpenAi, but with only a fraction of its cost of development, something that has then had its nuances. All this Financial tsunami In AI has left a clear winner: Liang Wenfeng, CEO of Deepseek and one of the seven founders of the company. Thanks to the success of its AI model, Wenfeng has become a Milmillonario, although no one knows for sure if their fortune has an assessment of 1,000 million or 150,000 million. It depends on Who is asked. The key is Deepseek. In relative terms, the Fortuna Liang Wenfeng At least 84% of the value assigned to Deepseek amounts to 84%. Therefore, the key is to determine how much Deepseek is valued to establish the fortune of its main owner. The problem is that, just like companies like x Openai, Spacex, Neuralink and many others, the company’s value is not public by not being quoted in the stock market as It is NvidiaApple or Microsoft. In this case, the market price Determine the value of the company. However, in the case of private companies, that value is given by third parties. For example, OpenAi’s different financing rounds have served as a framework to establish an assessment of the company, placing it around 157,000 million, according to Forbes. The same goes for Spacex that, after its last financing round, its investors estimated that the company was worth 350,000 million dollars, As reported Bloomberg. With China it is not so easy. Depseek was created as a secondary research project promoted by Wenfeng within its High-Flyer Investment Company. As published by Forbes, Depseek does not seem to have received third -party investments, so there is no external agent that can offer a founded assessment. Given the opacity of the investments of Chinese companies, the tracking of new assessments becomes complicated. The only alternative that remains to know the estimated value is comparing it with its equivalent rivals. Approximate estimates. As published by Bloomberg, seven AI experts and startup founders have estimated that Deepseek’s value would remain between 2,000 million and 30,000 million dollars, although there are more extreme assessments that give figures between 1,000 and 150,000 million dollars. “It is basically impossible to give a convincing response in this case because it is a private and secret company that is financed internally with the commercial gains of the founder,” declaredBloomberg Jeffrey Emanuel, founder and executive director of the Blockchain Pastel Network Startup. One from Those rival companies which can serve as a reference is Anthropic, which thanks to Amazon financial support He has achieved one 60,000 million assessment. The French Mistral AI also would enter that comparisonand its valuation has been 6,000 million dollarsso the most moderate average range seems to be the closest to the reality of the Chinese company. Estimation of the fortune of Liang Wenfeng. Based on those most conservative estimates, Wenfeng’s fortune would move between 1,680 million and 25.2 billion, only in regards to his participation in Deepseek. However, we must not forget that Depseek is only Wenfeng’s “Side Project”, and that his main job is in high-flyer. Based on financial records, Forbes estimated That the Wenfeng Investment Fund has about 8,000 million in assets, so the company values ​​in about 240 million dollars. Therefore, participation in High-Flyer would contribute about 180 million dollars more to the fortune of Liang Wenfeng, placing it in the select Milmillonarios Club that They have made fortune thanks to the AI.

“The most powerful AI will remain from the US”

by

The artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology with a critical value for the great powers. In fact, the chips war that is freeing the US and China currently revolves around it. And he does it because Your applications are presumably unlimited. The AI ​​is already being used for medical diagnosis through image analysis, to design new drugs or to produce new materials, Among many other possibilities. But it can also be used to develop very sophisticated weapons. The countries led by Donald Trump and Xi Jinping are disputing world supremacy. It is no secret. In fact, the government led by Joe Biden openly recognized the document that collects its National Security Strategy October 2022 that China has the necessary capacity and resources to dispute the US Its world leadership position. Anyway, at the current situation, AI is an essential resource, and having the best technology can tip the balance definitely to one side or another. US hints what will do whatever it takes to protect your leadership Just a few hours ago James David Vance, the US vice president, has pronounced a speech During the last day of the summit dedicated to AI in Paris in which he has expressed very clearly what the position of his country is in this area: “The most powerful artificial intelligence systems are built in the US with chips designed and manufactured in America (…) USA is the leader in AI, and our administration plans to keep it like this. , transformative applications “. “The most powerful AI systems are built in the US with chips designed and manufactured in America” Everything that this politician affirms is true, with a single exception: the GPUs for the most advanced available are designed by US companies, such as Nvidia or AMD, but the TSMC manufactures them in their Taiwan plants. Presumably in the medium term can do so in His new Arizona factories (USA), but At the moment they come from Taiwan. However, Vance had more to say. Something very important that clearly reflects that the US government will take the measures it deems appropriate to maintain its leadership in the field of AI. “The computer power that this chain requires is essential for the advance of AI technology, and to safeguard the advantage of America, the Trump administration will ensure that the most powerful AI systems are built in the US with chips designed and manufactured in America”, JD Vance has sentenced in an obvious declaration of intentions. At the moment the only country with the ability to play leadership to the US throughout the AI ​​value chain is China, and it is evident that the best weapon that the US government can fly in front of its Asian rival are the sanctions that are already It has been deploying for years. What is not clear is what margin of action still has ahead.

Estrella Galicia has decided that the star ingredient of his new beer is Valencia. And that is a risky bet

by

Yesterday, by surprise and before The suspicion of not a few, Estrella Galicia presented The one that would probably have been the most extravagant (and risky) product of its extensive catalog, which by the way are already including beers With perclabes either peppers: A BRIK of Special broth For Valencian Paella. It sounded crazy. And it was. There is no such broth. Nor will exist. What the Galician company is planned to launch is a “special Valencian edition” of its beer, something that announces almost on the eve of the Valencia failures. Beyond what the Galician company does the movement says a lot about where the beer sector walks. Paella Estrella Galicia broth? Sounds weird. And it is logical because it is. Yesterday Galicia surprised his own and strangers announcing a “broth for Valencian paella” (sic) Through its official profiles of Instagram, X and LinkedInin which I include even photos of the product, in whose container it could be read in great ‘Estrella Galicia’. The announcement was replicated in networks and there was a good handful of media that echoed the launch, clarifying In some cases that they had tried unsuccessfully to confirm the news with the company itself. They did not get it. And there was a reason. Click on the image to go to Tweet. NO BREATMENT, SPECIAL EDITION. It sounded like a marketing campaign. And there have been no surprises. It was. Estrella Galicia has confirmed it today through the same channels, with A video Shared in networks in which the cake uncovered: “Yesterday we launched our broth for Paella Valenciana and you put us to broth. Quiet, it was a joke.” The stitch goes with thread and in the same piece they take the opportunity to announce the product that they intend to launch: a beer ‘special edition Valencia’. Wrapping in tradition. What did the broth for Paellas come? Why yesterday’s message? Was it only a hook to gain visibility? Yes. And no. The campaign has served Estrella Galicia for something else: in addition to effectively multiplying the repercussion of the launch (that of the new beer, not the broth Fake) has allowed him to emphasize the leitmotiv of its commercial strategy, the basic idea of ​​its product: tradition. The Galician firm wants to reinforce in the Valencian Community. And curiously he wants to do so associating himself with the image of local culture. “This broth (that of Paella Estrella Galicia) has never existed. We would never do anything like that because, as you, we understand the value of our recipes. And here is our only secret ingredient is to respect the ingredients,” ensures the brewer in the video with which he announced his new Valencia 2025 edition. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Valencian, why? In summary: Estrella Galicia associates its image to the defense of tradition in a market, the Valencian, in which the bottles of the Rivera Children’s Corporation have already been worked on an important hole. In 2023 The provinces It echoed A study which revealed that, although in the territories close to the region, consumers opt for Mahou, star of Levante, Amber or Estrella Dam, the favorite beer of the Valencians was the one made by a company from the other end of the country. The question that leaves its launch is … What is special and Valenciana the special Valencian edition? The company does not clarify it. Is limited to ensuring That the drink will be “a tribute” to the passion of the community through the paella, but without going into details or deepening how it will elaborate or get it to differ from the rest of its catalog, beyond the labeling. Barrels … and maps. The star campaign also talks about something else: to what extent the brewer is a market played and distributed in Spain. A few months ago Datacentric elaborated A map of favorite beer brands by autonomous communities that demonstrate the clear (and pronounced) differences at the territorial level. In the Peninsular Center, Mahou reigns, Cruzcampo does it in Andalusia, in Aragon it is amber, in Catalonia Estrella Dam, in Murcia stands out Estrella de Levante and in much of the rest of the country Galicia makes it star. Beyond the preferences for reasons of historical and cultural roots, the weight of the Galician company at the state level does not surprise. If Star Galicia has highlighted for something over the last years it is his aggressive marketing strategy. His bottles have ended up to Cristina Pedroche and Chicote during New Year’s Campanadas. Even of the influencer Chiara Ferragniwho a few days ago posed with a bottle For the 28.7 million followers on Instagram. Click on the image to go to Tweet. The importance of figures. Campaigns such as Valencia also tell us about something else: an industry, the brewer, in full expansion and has been looking for new margins towards which its market widen. Although alcohol consumption is experiencing deep changes In Spain and distancing Of young people and frequent drinking intake, the beer sector has excelled in recent years due to the efficacy of its strategy. How has consumption evolved? The Statista tables They reflect that the total volume of beer consumed in Spain grew in a practically sustained way (with the impasse of the pandemic) between 2012 and 2023, following a opposite trend to that of the per capita intake. Statista sample Also that in 2023 in Spain each person drank on average about 56 liters of beer. There are two less than the previous year, but still far exceeding the average marks of (at least) the last decade and a half. Employers’ data Cervecera are also interesting: in 2023 it found an increase in consumption of 2.84%, although that growth was sustained by foreign tourism. Without it, he estimates that he would have fallen 3.53%. That percentage basically explains by the closing of bars after the pandemic and changes in the habits of the Spaniards, which at least in … Read more

His commitment to emotional computing goes much further

by

There is something very interesting happening in Apple. The most hermetic company in the technology industry, that of the permanent secretism, He is publicly showing his advances in robotics. It is no accident. Apple published a video ago showing a suspiciously similar robotic lamp to Luxo, that of Pixar, which moves with surprisingly human gestures. It is not a product, but a research project. The mere fact that they show it is a good sign of where the company is directed. While Google, Microsoft and Openai are competing for creating the best conversational, Apple seems to be betting on something very different. Something we could call “emotional computing”in the “spatial computing” line with which it designates the Vision Pro. Apple does not want you to talk to your digital assistant, but you feel it as a partner. It is a very Apple movement. It is the company that humanized domestic computers (ASA, typefaces, the iconic “hello” manuscript). It is the company that turned the mobile phone into something intimate and personal. It is the company that now wants to humanize AI. And does it in its own way: through design, movement and nonverbal expression. Apple’s robotic lamp is not Alexa with arms. It is something more subtle and deep: An expressive computing exercise that demonstrates that machines can also transmit emotions without words, only with movements of a very concrete style. Pixar taught us (by the way, bought and driven by Steve Jobs) with Luxo: there is no need for a face to have personality. The strategy makes a lot of sense: It clearly differs from competition. They are creating the best chatbot, Apple wants to create the first really empathic robot. Play with Apple’s historical forces: human-machine design and interaction. You can solve the biggest problem of the current AI: its inherent coldness. He Timing It is also important. Apple does not expect to launch its first robotic product until 2026 at best, probably later, As Mark Gurman anticipated months ago And now he has endorsed Ming Chi Kuo in X. Why shows your cards now? Surely for attracting proper talent, but also because they prepare a cultural change. The massive adoption of domestic robots VAA require not only oootro spending, but also a deep change in our way of thinking about technology in our homes. It is not just functionality, it is a matter of trust, of emotional comfort. It is a bet that is not risk -free. The consumer can reject the idea that a robot simulates emotions. Privacy concerns will be there. And the cost of these devices, especially in the first waves, will be prohibitive. But if a company can get it, it is Apple. They did it with the iPhone turning something that seemed science fiction in an indispensable part of our life. Since then, despite successes of a certain size (Airpods, Apple Watch), he has been asking him to replicate him. Apple sure that you can build expressive robots convincingly, but an even more important part is missing: That we are ready to let the machines not only enter our house, but make us feel an emotional bond. That can be much more difficult to get to put the bug at home. In Xataka | The decline of the “Apple culture”.

Some beavers have built a dam that had been postponed for seven years

by

While in Spain we have A kind of rural thriller With the appearance of very particular animals for the country’s rivers, there are other stories that tell the importance of this family of creatures In the ecosystem around the floods and settlements of civilizations. We refer to the beavers and Your ability to build natural dams that helped moderate the force of floods. His last work has raised them. A paralyzed project. For seven years, the Government authorities of the BRDY region in the Czech Republic tried to carry out A project to build a dam on the Klabava Riverlocated about 40 kilometers southwest of Prague. Its purpose was to protect the local ecosystem, especially to a kind of crab in critical danger of extinctionpreventing sediments and acid from two nearby ponds from contaminating the river. However, the project, Approved in 2018 with more than one million dollars in financing and with all the necessary permits, it was paralyzed Due to prolonged negotiations on the use of land that had previously served as a military training field. And then the beavers arrived. Beesters to the rescue. While bureaucracy delayed construction, a group of beavers advanced to humans and, without waiting for permits or studies, built a series of dams naturally. His intervention not only solved the problem by which the authorities had planned the dam, but also expanded the wetland area to almost 20,000 square meterstwice what engineers had projected. It is not a trivial event. We are talking about a spontaneous work of creatures that saved the authorities approximately 1.2 million eurosas reported The Nature Conservation Agency of the Czech Republic. Natural engineers. As we said at the beginning, beavers are known for Its extraordinary construction and landscape modification capacity. To build their dams, they begin by placing small stones in the riverbed, compacting them with mud and repeating the process to form a pond, a space that Then they expand to create a wetland. Why do the hell do this? Researchers believe that Your main motivation is security: They are excellent swimmers capable of enduring up to 15 minutes underwater, but on land they are quite clumsy and vulnerable to predators such as bears, wolves and pumas. In this way, building an aquatic habitat allows them to take refuge from any threat. And it is not the first time. Surprisingly, the case of the Czech Republic is not the first in which animals have taken the initiative in conservation projects. In California, the beavers helped Restore a flood plain to the northeastern Sacramentogenerating ecological benefits and Saving money to the authorities. And in Idaho, After the Sharps fire, the areas where there were beavers were intact and greenwhile the surroundings were devastated. In places where its introduction is prohibited, as in some areas of California, groups such as the Yurok tribe They have begun to build structures that imitate the dikes of Castores to attract them naturally and take advantage of their benefits. In Oregon, scientists discovered that Castor’s dams They leaked heavy metals and contaminants with double efficacy that an expensive stormwater treatment plant. The “but”. However, and As we have counted recently in Spaindespite their enormous contribution to the regeneration of ecosystems, the beavers are often seen as a discomfort due to the damage that causes trees and crops, as well as the possibility of flooding fields and roads. The resurgence of the beavers. Eurasian beavers were hunted almost until extinction in Europe, but they have been reintroduced in several regions, including the Czech Republic. Scientist journalist Ben Goldfarb, author of Eager: The Surprising, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matterstressed that beavers have helped humanity for centuries, and that the recent history of the Czech Republic is a sign of how these animals can solve environmental problems efficiently. He had National Geographic Gerhard Schwabexpert in beales in Bavaria, who is not surprised at the effectiveness of rodents, although he doubts that the ” last January. However, it recognizes its extraordinary ability to transform the landscape and modify the flow of water. The conservation dilemma. It is possibly the last of the legs to deal with these creatures. Despite its impressive engineering capacity, the unpredictability of the beavers represents a challenge for conservation projects. In this regard, He explained to New York Times Emily FairfaxProfessor of Ecology at the University of Minnesot Its constructions cannot be planned with precision and many times they are considered an invasive species. It is possible, therefore, that this tendency to underestimate its positive impact has led to their actions to go unnoticed or directly ignored in the planning of environmental projects. That said, more and more studies and specific cases show that His role in wetland restoration is invaluable. Allowing these creatures to act freely, instead of intervening with artificial and expensive solutions, could represent a natural and sustainable alternative for the conservation of water ecosystems.

Art of Vengeance ‘has convinced me that the new Ninja fashion is the best recent resurrection in the industry

by

We are not going to fool ourselves: I have a weakness for the ‘Shinobi’ saga. The first installment came to obsess me in the times of the recreational, and its relatively quiet rhythm and its clear and easy mechanics to dominate them became one of the few arcades that I managed to end in its day, not without a considerable investment of time and money . Since then, ‘Shinobi’ has been one of my untouchable absolute video games of the eighties. The best thing was yet to come. And that we still had to see the best incarnations of ‘Shinobi’. After taste practically all the domestic ports of the recreational (special kudos for the crazy version of Master System), I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the magnificent ‘Shinobi’ for Mega Drive: ‘Shinobi II’ and ‘Shadow Dancer’. Absolute 2D wonders that multiplied the possibilities of the original recreational. Ninja avalanche. I was never too interested in the lazy 3D adventures of the ‘Shinobi’ franchise in PlayStation 2 or portable, but his spirit I think they picked up and amplified the ‘Ninja Gaiden’ in 3D, especially the first two, under the direction of Tomonobu Itagaki: Brutal and ruthless, of the most difficult and satisfactory games in history. Laugh from the ‘souls’. I have always been excited about the original trilogy of NES, a kind of accelerated and insane version of the ‘Shinobi’ themselves, and even the original arcade ‘Shadow Warriors’, but in my diet ninja the thing has always worked like this: in 2D,’ Shinobi ‘; In 3D, ‘Ninja Gaiden’. And between them, Cannon’s films. The return of the Ninja. The point is that, riding the nostalgic fever that ravages the entertainment industry, both franchises have allowed themselves to return with new versions and sequelae that we can enjoy in the coming months. On the one hand, we have a new sequel to the main saga of Ninja Gaiden, A fourth installment (Perhaps the project that interests the least, despite the fact that the participation of Plantinum Games always attracts attention); ‘Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound‘, on the other hand, it is a 2D and pixelated reformulation at the hands of the’ Blasphemous’ team, and which seems to guarantee a deep and demanding game; And finally, ‘Ninja Gaiden II Black‘, a total and already available remake of the original 360 game and demonstrates why we continue to contemplate it as a masterpiece. The art of revenge. But it is that ‘Shinobi’ also returns with ‘SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance‘, And as’ Ragebound ‘, with a team of bells expert in retro mechanics behind: Lizardcube, responsible for the superb and recent’Streets of Rage 4‘. It will arrive in August and in addition to a mechanic that pays tribute to the 16 -bit originals, we have an absolutely magnificent graphic finish, which honors not only the first games, but also the anime and the European comic. Ninjas for a resurrection. Here you are not going to see us launch alive to the eternal cyclical returns of the industry and their retail constant of success franchises. But ‘Shinobi’ and ‘Ninja Gaiden’ seem to me differently: a taste is seen in these new versions that goes beyond the exploitation of nostalgic corpses. In addition, neither of the two franchises has abandoned certain principles (demanding, violent and visually very polished games), which gives them at least the benefit of the doubt: until now, after all, they have not disappointed us.

You will ask and the AI ​​will already decide how it answers you

by

Sam Altman broken down a few hours ago Future OpenAi plans. The announcement seems to simplify the company’s route map, but also unifies its proposals and makes Chatgpt behavior in the future. A GPT-5 to master them all. In front of a GPT-4.5 that apparently will be somewhat decaffeinated, Altman spoke of the future GPT-5which will be rather a “metamodel” that brings together several capacities and that will be adjusted to our needs. “It will incorporate voice, Canvas, Search, Deep Research and more,” Altman explained, thus combining the different services and options that are now partially scattered. You ask, I will decide what to use to answer. The OpenAi CEO clarified that “a priority objective for us is to unify our models creating systems that can use all the tools, know when you have to think a while or not, and that they are generally useful for a wide range of tasks.” Or what is the same: you will use GPT-5, and he will decide what kind of capacity he fits better to give you the best answer without having to be choosing Between the myriad options that now complicate a bit the use of OpenAi services. “Free” if you use little. Altman explained that users of the free version of ChatgPT will be unlimited to GPT-5 in their “standard intelligence configuration”, or what is the same, with their basic mode. That will be enough for many users, but it is important to highlight that the “free” probably needs those quotes. It does not seem unreasonable to think that this chatgpt will end up showing advertising as part of the answers. It is what has worked for Google for 25 years, but the question is if OpenAi will take advantage of that option properly. If you want the best of GPT-5, you will have to pay. Altman’s message concluded that those who pay chatgpt plus or pro will obtain a higher level of intelligence from GPT-5. Here the strategy seems evident, which follows the line of what we had already seen: if you want the best performance, it will be to pay. The Subscription of 200 dollars/month It can be in fact Only the beginning of a price climb that OpenAi needs to face for a simple reason: be profitable. OpenAi needs income. The company already indicated its profitability estimates months ago. Will continue to burn and lose money as if there were no tomorrow, but they think they will get have benefits for the first time in 2029. Payment plans and the subscription model will undoubtedly focus, but as we say Advertising seems inevitable It is also relevant in the free version of Chatgpt that will be the most used. And the agents, what? Curiously Altman did not include in his speech No mention to Operator, his AI agent. Will it be part of the GPT-5 capabilities set, or will it remain a separate service? Openai may prefer to design that independent platform here, but what is clear is that if IA agents manage to function properly, they are one of the great hopes to convince users to pay for using them.

A video taken by Rover Curiosity exposes its secrets

by

The Curiosity Rover He has been unraveling secrets of the surface of Mars. But it has not been fixed On the ground this timebut in heaven. Strange clouds. NASA has published this week A hypnotic recording taken on January 17 with the Mastcam Chamber of Rover Curiosity during the Sun number 4,426 of the mission. What we see are bright and bright clouds that move gently through the sky of Mars. However, they are not clouds like those of the earth. They are nightly clouds dyed of reddish and greenish tones that aroused the interest of scientists since the first time the Martian robot looked at the sky. What his color tells us. As on Earth, this type of clouds is called “noctilucent” because they shine during twilight, the transition from day to night, thanks to the light dispersed by the west sun. The difference is that, on Mars, these clouds can be composed of water or carbon dioxide ice. The iridescent clouds, whose colored flashes remind of the naches, are specifically those that are formed from the carbon dioxide ice, which condenses at high altitudes, between 60 and 80 kilometers on the Martian floor. A team from the Institute of Space Sciences of Boulder, in the United States, He analyzed thoroughly from Curiosity images In a recent study. What their movements tell us. These clouds are not only different from the color, but also the shape and height to which they move. While carbon dioxide formations rise and produce colorful flashes, water ice are white feathers that move to lower altitudes, around 50 kilometers, and dissipate when they heat up as they approach the surface . Studying the size and growth of cloud particles helps astronomers understand how planet. The incombustible curiosity. The observations of the Curiosity Rover have been key to understanding the physics of the Martian atmosphere. The images were obtained using one of the two Mastcam color modules, specifically the 34 mm camera, although it currently has the partially blocked filter wheel. Even in years, Curiosity continues to obtain valuable data and continues its journey towards new areas of interest, such as channels and craters that could hide clues about Mars. But when he looks at heaven he also opens a window to better understand atmospheric dynamics and the climate of the red planet.

Honda and Nissan have broken negotiations for their merger. Now another buyer appears on the horizon: the iPhone manufacturer

by

Both companies believe that the most appropriate is to cease negotiations With these words, Honda and Nissan have confirmed that they have not reached an agreement and that, therefore, they put an end to their negotiations to add forces. What in March 2024 was exposed as a collaboration agreementat the end of the year was taking fusion form. Until, finally, there were clear that Honda would buy an important part of Nissan. Although there has been talk of Japanese government pressures to force the merger between both companies and try to get Nissan out of a financial hole that points to 9,000 layoffsthe truth is that Honda does not seem completely willing to merge from equal to equal. In recent days, the clearest option seemed to buy Honda of the totality or an important part of Nissan for turn it into a kind of subsidiarysomething that has ended up breaking negotiations. Nissan is now in a complicated situation but has preferred to maintain some independence in its future development. At the moment, it has to face the thousands of dismissals mentioned above but that will be nothing more than the confirmation that the company will fulfill its reduction in production by 20%. They are demanding but mandatory measures now that the profits of profits for the fiscal year that ends soon in Japan 70% have been adjusted compared to the original forecasts. At the moment, companies have announced that they are still open to collaborations for the development of potential future products although there is nothing written about this. Both companies face a future challenge with the electric car. Beyond Japan, the United States aims to be its strongest market but Nissan has fallen hard in the countrywhile putting Great efforts to jump into the electric car in the medium term. In Europe, where the road to the electric car has been paving from the political spheres, Nor has he received the expected support. To all of the above you have to add a context that has further complicated things. In Europe the idea begins to slide They will delay pressure measures to manufacturers to jump into the electric car. In the United States, Donald Trump is determined to end the promotion of this technology that Joe Biden had promoted with large tax incentives. Steel and aluminum tariffs They can be the icing to make the product more expensive and hinder its economic viability. In all this jaleo, a new player appears on the horizon. Foxconn and the car, the eternal desired Since the economic difficulties that Nissan is going through, Foxconn has been seen, he would see that he would be interested in buying an important part of the company and starting to manufacture its vehicles. The Taiwanese company is known for the production of iPhone But he has long since assured that his experience producing all kinds of technological devices may be sufficient to produce your own vehicles. Intentions are clear for years: produce platforms with all the integrated hardware necessary to make each manufacturer contributing its distinctive point with the software. To assert its position, Foxconn has been insisting that this way of working is perfect for launching electric cars at a low price. In December 2022Liu Young-Way, his CEO, said that the company’s strategy went to reach between 40 and 50% of world car production.
