What is High-Flyer, the Chinese fund that drives Deepseek and has been using AI for years to make investment decisions

by

Deepseek is the fashionable artificial intelligence (AI) company. Your most recent language models They have challenged Openai’s leadership and have caused a real earthquake in the technology industry. These days we have known that It was founded in May 2023 and that has developed its products with a fraction of the computing capacity of some of its main western rivals. But what else is known? Let’s see it. The promising present of Deepseek is the result of years of investigation that began long before its official constitution. Its origin is found in High-Flyer, a quantitative investment fund created in 2015 by the Electronic Engineering student Liang Wenfeng with two classmates. As they count on their websitethe idea was that the algorithms became the heart of their business by allowing real -time operations. A company focused on the Chinese stock market High-Flyer completed its first stock market assisted by AI in October 2016, a movement that triggered an unstoppable effort to continue working in that regard. The company formed software and hardware research and development teams. And apparently it was the appropriate decision. In 2017 I already applied AI In almost all its strategies of quantitative investment, but to continue advancing I needed to break some barriers. They discovered that complex models training tasks required a huge calculation power. This did not discourage them and in 2019 they launched a dedicated division called High-Flyer ai to address the challenge. The group built started working with 500 GPU, then built a 1,100 GPU supercomputer A100 of NVIDIA And in 2022 he spent 140 million dollars to raise the number up to 10,000 GPU, before the entry into force of the export controls of the United States. High-Flyer was completely focused on developing its algorithmic trading business. He had his own deep learning training platform and a Outstanding computer infrastructure. Meanwhile, in the United States there was a company called Openai that bet on the generative AI and that He had surprised many with the benefits of his GPT-3 language model. As China Talk collectsLiang wanted to go beyond finance. For a long time he had been convinced that AI would change the world, and had found the opportunity to bring his effort to the next level. In 2023, High-Flyer announced that it would lay the foundations of a new organization to advance the development of general artificial intelligence (AGI). Thus Deepseek was born, with an injection of capital of high-flyer. Deepseek is a product of High-Flyer work and has obviously drunk this company. Both signatures share offices in the same building, although they seem to use different computing resources. The AI ​​startup says it has H20 chips, that are sold as donuts in Chinaand NVIDIA H800, and that has used only 2,048 GPU of this latest model to train its most recent models, an affirmation that some have questioned.

NASA has found molecules linked to life in Bennu samples

by

It was left The famous stuck screw In the Bennu Asteroid sampling container. NASA scientists have just published the results of their analysis and are as exciting as the asteroid of 4.5 billion years promised. Osiris-Rex and Asteroid Bennu. Threw in 2016, Osiris-Rex completed one of NASA’s most ambitious missions in recent years. The probe reached an asteroid near the land called Bennu in 2018. He spent several months by making it and analyzing it closely and, finally, descended to touch its surface. Osiris-Rex collected 121.6 grams of Bennu samples in 2020. He then undertook his return trip and, in September 2023, managed to release them successfully on Earth. Is less than expected And, yet, the greatest number of samples brought from another celestial body other than the moon. In addition to a true time capsule due to the age of the asteroid: 4.5 billion years, almost as many as those that the solar system has. What is in Bennu’s samples. Two studies published on Tuesday in Nature and Nature Astronomy They detail the results of the analysis. We can say that the wait has been worth it because those 121.6 grams that Osiris-Rex brought from asteroid bennu They contain essential molecules for lifeas well as the trail of a salty environment that could promote its formation: Amino acids and nucleobases. 14 of the 20 amino acids used by living beings to make proteins, and the five nucleobases that make up DNA and RNA, the genetic codification of life on earth Ammonia and formaldehyde. Ammonia is essential in chemical reactions that generate complex molecules, and formaldehyde can lead to amino acids when combined with ammoniac Salts and salt water. Minerals formed by the evaporation of water with brine, an environment that could be the ideal broth for prebiotic chemistry in the body from which Bennu comes What this finding means. The discovery of all these molecules reinforces the hypothesis that the basic ingredients for life could have spread throughout the solar system at an early age. It is known that the asteroids brought water to the earth, and nothing prevents They will also deliver other essential blocks for life or microbial life itself. Perhaps the conducive conditions for life in many other parts of the solar system will be given. The material from Bennu contains a combination of salts (calcite, halita, trona and silvita) that had only been seen incompletely in some meteorites. It is a clue that the body from which Bennu comes originally Water could contain with the necessary conditions for the development of organic compounds. What this finding does not mean. That the “father” of Asteroid Bennu could have the necessary conditions for life forms to arise does not mean that scientists have discovered life in a body outside the earth. Samples do not contain evidence of living organisms, nor do they confirm in any way the existence of extraterrestrial life. The material, which was formed in a cold region of the solar system beyond Jupiter’s orbit, does not end up solving, but throws some light on the big question: if there are scenarios conducive to life beyond the earth. And no, samples do not have land pollution, as happened with those of the asteroid Ryugu that the Japanese brought in the Hayabusa mission 2. To other asteroids. The laboratories of the Earth are for now the best we have, so none of this would have been possible without a complex sampling recovery mission. Osiris-Rex is the third, after the Japanese Missions Hayabusa. Soon we will see also Tianwen-2, the Chinese mission that will travel to the asteroid 2016 HO3 KAMOʻOALEWA.

Several days have passed since Nvidia lost more than 400,000 million dollars in market value After the emergence of the new Artificial Intelligence Models (AI) of Deepseekwhich stand out for their power and efficiency. Despite a slight recovery in the price of its shares, the company led Jensen Huang faces another day in red. Its titles fall more than 5% compared to the previous day. The bearish trend extends to other American giants Microsoft, Apple and Google. But not everything is bad news. ASMLone of the most important technological firms in Europe, is living a very encouraging moment. Their shares quoted at $ 683.35 yesterday Tuesday at the close of the market. This Wednesday, at the time of writing this article, They are negotiated at $ 713.98which translates into a growth of 4.48%. We are facing interesting fact if we take into account that the titles of the lithography chipos manufacturer also collapsed at the end of last week. Hopeful future for the European company There is still an hour for the closure of the Nasdaq stock market, but everything seems to indicate that ASML will close on Wednesday in positive. Is that the company based in the Netherlands has presented Its financial results for the fourth quarter which ended last December 31 and exceeded analysts’ estimates. Its turnover was 9,260 million euros (9,070 million euros were expected) and the net profit reached the 2,690 million euros (2,640 million euros were expected). ASML’s actions in front of American companies this Wednesday, January 29 | Image: Yahoo Finance The manufacturer of machines such as Twinscan Exe: 5000 or exe: 5200high -tech piece necessary to make avant -garde chips, has maintained its sales expectations for the current year. He is confident that he will get income from 30,000 and 35,000 million euros For 2025. It is an increase compared to 28,262 million euros invoiced in the last four quarters. The popular Chinese Deepseek does not seem to be a threat to ASML growth plans. Christophe Fouquet, CEO of Asml Current AI models have been created with computing power. Huge data centers running at full speed to train algorithms. Deepseek’s arrival has raised a scenario where the development of this industry It does not depend as much as the avant -garde hardware. Since Nvidia is the main supplier of specialized graphics for Data Centers, the company has paid the price with the collapse of its shares and, consequently, its market value. The CEO of ASML, Christophe Fouquet, was optimistic at the arrival of low -cost models such as Deepseek. In statements to CNBC He said he hopes that the emergence of this company will generate more demand for semiconductors, instead of reducing it. “A lower cost of AI could mean More applications. More applications mean more demand over time. We see it as an opportunity for a greater demand for chips, “said the executive. We will see if we are right.

Lamborghini has said that they don’t count on them

Classic supercar or of exclusive editions They have become an investment asset as attractive as art or real estate. Therefore, there are many who miman to the extreme Your four -wheel collection pieces. However, we have seen inumerable cases in which these museum pieces have been abused and abandoned to their fate in sheds and even Forgotten in fields In the middle of nowhere. For them, restoration is the only option for recover its splendor preterite. However, it is about A Lamborghinido not ask them to change the slightest screw with respect to the original. The answer will be overwhelming: no. Retro modernity The retro is more fashionable than ever. The new Electric Renault 5 It is the best example of this, retaining the essence and style of the models that were manufactured in the 70s and 80s, but with that futuristic air so refreshing that it is making it a Superventas in France. Following that trend, there are many modification workshops that are responsible for Restore classic cars They were in a deplorable state, adding different electronic benefits, screens or accessories that did not include the original models. Given the growing interest in classic cars and restorations that increase their value, Lamborghini created Your polo storic division More than a decade ago. However, for some it will be tempting to conduct a classic supercar, but with the performance and comfort of a modern car. Seen the rise of customizations in luxury supercar, surely many millionaires They would pay fortunes for one “Restmod” edition of a classic from Lamborghini. It is not a single car, it is a legacy However, for Lamborghini, that concept is little less than a sacrilege. Giuliano Cassataro, Head of the Pole Storic Service, declared to The Drive that “for us, there is only one count. . Just as my partner Alberto de la Torre proved firsthand, THE OBJECTIVE OF POLO STORICO It is that those owners of a Lamborghini can restore it to their original factory state. Another of the missions of this division is to certify that the brand’s classics have not undergone modifications in their original pieces that can alter their value. For Lamborghini technicians, modify one of these classics to offer a new vision. It would be like reinventing history. Therefore, they do not hesitate to use their documentary archive so that the restoration of the classic models is carried out thoroughly. After their restoration the cars return to the same state that it had when it left its production line. Same colors, same materials and finishes. Other brands Like Jaguar or Porsche if they are playing The “Restmod” Bazacreating new limited editions of their classic cars to create a new exclusive collection piece with a unique finish that customers can pay until twice what the original model cost. In fact, these special editions are reporting large benefits to luxury cars manufacturers, who have found in the Customization of your cars A reef for increase the invoice Purchase end. But in Lamborghini, they already consider that each of their cars is unique in itself. An example of the work of this restoration division was the Lamborghini Miura SVR that the brand “rescued” from extinction to return it to life in full form fifty years later. Instead, those of Sant’agata Bolognese prefer Aventador Miura Homage. In Xataka | This Porsche burned is unique, almost nobody remembers and has a Spanish past.

Italy and Ireland act against privacy concerns

by

It was a matter of time that Deepseek will enter the radar of European regulators. The Chinese Artificial Intelligence Company (AI) is now under the scrutiny of the data protection authorities of Ireland and Italy. We are not talking about formal investigation, but about information requirements that emerge in half concerns about the privacy of users who use the famous chatbot in the old continent. The Ireland Data Protection Commission, responsible for guaranteeing compliance with the RGPD, has requested A Deepseek Details on user data processing. The equivalent body in Italy, known as guarantor, has made a similar decision: It wants to know what personal data are collected, from what sources, for what purposes, what is the legal basis of the treatment and if stored in servers located in China. Deepseek, under the scrutiny of European regulators Earlier this week we indicated that Depseek was becoming tremendously popular, But it was not clear that I was doing the company with our data. However, some of the questions that regulators have asked They have an answer in Privacy policies of Hangzhou Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd. and Beijing Deepseek Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd., The signatures behind Depseek. The aforementioned document indicates that the data of all Depseek users, including those residing in Europe, are stored in China. It also accounts for a huge data collection, which includes from the click patterns of the keys to the conversations. The options of opting not to participate in models training were not too clear either, and now they should be completely clarified. However, guarantor has gone one step further. The Italian regulator, That at the time it prohibited Chatgpt and fined OpenAi with 15 million euroswant to know what type of information use Deepseek for Train your models of language. In this sense, the ‘Web Scraping’ technique is focused and if registered and unregistered users of the service have been informed about the processing of the data collected. It remains to be seen how this issue will be resolved in the near future. We know that Depseek has 20 days to respond to guarantor, but it is not clear what Ireland has established. Nor can we download shares from other members of the European Data Protection Committee, composed of about twenty national authorities, among which we find the Spanish Agency for Data Protection. It is important to note that the concerns of data collection by DeDEEK They revolve around their online services. The Chinese company, which has caused an earthquake in the AI ​​industry with the launch of Deepseek V3 and Deepseek R1, Allows you to use your models locally And completely free. That is, open the door to access its novel technology without using the Internet.

The longest Greek papyrus found was not what it seemed. His translation has revealed an unknown story of Rome

by

The tablets and papyri of antiquity are time capsules that show us a specific moment of the past fascinously, sometimes even in the first person. There is everything from The oldest trigonometric systemor from applied geometry a thousand years before Pythagoraseven stories or anecdotes that reveal us How was life thousands of years ago. Therefore, when the longest Greek papyrus was found, the world was expectant. It turns out that it was something else. A papyrus in Israel, a Roman case. An unprecedented discovery has thrown New light on the functioning of the Roman judicial system and the fight against financial crime in the eastern provinces of the Empire. An international team of researchers from the Academy of Sciences of Austria, the University of Vienna and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has published The study of a Greek papyrus of more than 133 linesthe most extensive ever found, found in the Judea desert. The document, unknown until rediscovery in 2014offers a direct testimony of a trial for fiscal fraud and falsification of documents in the Roman provinces of Judea and Arabia, a region shaken by Jewish uprisings against Rome in the I and II DC centuries As we will see, life then was not as different from what it is today. A legal testimony of imperial Rome. The papyrus, initially Erroneous classified as Nebateoshe remained forgotten for decades until Professor Hannah Cotton Paltiel realized something. When examining it in the Parchment Laboratory of the Israel Antiques Authority, it identified its true nature. That finding motivated the formation of a specialized team to analyze its content, later confirming that it was actually, of notes of prosecutors in a trial against Roman officials on the eve of the Kokhba Bar Revolt (132-136 AD). Not just that. The document of the document is surprisingly dynamic, showing procedural strategies and discussions among prosecutors on the strength of evidence. An exceptionally well documented case within the judicial context of the province of Judea, comparable in importance, for example, to the process of Jesus, especially in terms of written evidence of Roman procedures in the region. A fiscal fraud scandal. As for the pure content of the same, the judicial case documented in the papyrus involves two defendants, Gadalias and Sauloswho operated a network of fraud based on fictitious sale and fraudulent slave manumission without paying taxes required by Rome. Gadalias, son of a notary and possibly Roman citizen, had a criminal history of violence, extortion and falsification of documents. For his part, Saulos, his accomplice, designed the scheme to avoid Roman taxes, using counterfeit documents to register non -existent transactions. The punishment. Under Roman law, falsification and fiscal fraud were serious crimes, punished with forced labor or even the death penalty. The arrest of Gadalias and Saulos not only responded to its criminal history, but also happened in a context of growing political tension. His case, in fact, developed between two great Jewish revolts: The diaspora revolt (115-117 AD) and The Kokhba Bar Revolt (132-136 AD)which led the Roman authorities to suspect that their activities were linked to a conspiracy against the Empire. By the way, the papyrus mentions TO TINEIUS RUFUSthe governor of Judea when the revolt of Bar Kokhba exploded, and places the activity of the defendants in the context of the visit of the Adriano Emperor to the region in 129-130 AD said connection suggests that The Romans saw any illegal activity in the area suspiciousespecially those that could be interpreted as acts of challenge to imperial authority. Economic and social implications. One of the most intriguing aspects of the case is the lack of an obvious economic benefit in the fraudulent liberation of slaves, which raises questions about the motivations of the accused. Among the hypotheses that are considered is the possibility that the case was linked to the traffic of people or the Jewish tradition of redeeming Jewish slavespractice based on biblical precepts. Not just that. The document also provides valuable information about the Roman legal administration in the Eastern Mediterranean, Confirming the application of institutions such as the judicial tours of the governor of Judea and the mandatory jurors in the provincial courts. These structures, widely documented in Egypt, can now be confirmed in other regions of the Empire, which reinforces the image of Rome as that highly organized state with a legal supervision system that even reached the most remote areas. The enigma of the papyrus. He Papiro P. Cotton was found in Judea’s desert, possibly in a cave used as a refuge During the Kokhba bar revolt. It happens that its conservation is a mystery, since judicial documents rarely survive outside the Roman archives. According to historians, it is possible that the trial will never reach its outcome due to the outbreak of the conflictwhich would have led the defendants to hide and carry that document with them. Be that as it may, we are facing one of those findings that occur very occasionally, an extraordinary discovery that provides us with an unprecedented look at the administration of justice in the Roman provinces of Judea and Arabia and that gives us an idea, not Only of the legal mechanisms of the empire, but also of the political and social tensions that marked the time, especially in a region where resistance to Rome was constant. Power, yesterday and today. If you want also, the writing says a lot about how the political elites of Rome worked, demonstrating how the empire regulated the economy and fought fraud even in their further territories, in addition to suggesting that the Romans saw with suspicion any illegal activity in contexts of political agitation, interpreting it as a potential threat to its domain. Politics and power, after all, have not changed so much since then.

Spain was going to invest a fortune in data centers. And then Deepseek arrived

by

Data centers They looked like the new gold fever in Spain. Recent data revealed how investments of Various Big Tech They promised to significant this market. Artificial intelligence promoted all those efforts, but these days some companies are rethinking what to do. The reason is, of course, Deepseek. Deepseek. The arrival of the models Deepseek v3 in November and Deepseek-R1 Just a few days ago it has made all these investments now questioned for a single reason. It may not be necessary to spend so much money. Chinese models of this startup seem to show that the same can be achieved (or more) With much less. “Unrealistic”. As revealed expandingSpain could attract more than 43.7 billion investment until 2030. However, sources in the sector have indicated in that economic newspaper that some millmillonarium projects to build large data centers in Spain were “unrealistic” and there is talk of figures that were not even guaranteed by the funds. Market adjustment. The Search for efficiency You can make these analyzes a certain adjustment in the market. Both investment funds and risk capital companies can now show more prudence when investing. Spaindc provided for the arrival of 58,000 million euros to the data centers sector until 2030. But there will be (a lot of investment). Although it seems clear that there will be a review of the budgets in various projects, as long as the need for the creation of data centers will continue to exist. The demand, due to the rise of AI and cloud services, will be remarkable. Great plans. In our country ACS has for example plans to invest globally 60,000 million euros (12,000 million in Spain). Merlin, another of the leading companies in this sector, announced the promotion of two megacampus in Extremadura with 1 GW capacity in each. Repsol, also cited expanding, It has plans to invest 4,000 million in Spain in this area. Long -term optimism, but short caution. The movements that have occurred these days after the impact caused by Depseek seems to have made many companies be recalibrating their short, medium and long term plans. However, it is impossible to know what the impact of medium -term Deepseek will be. Some experts pointed out In the Independent How they were not entirely convinced of the real efficiency of Deepseek, but they admit that that will certainly force a potential rethinking of the data centers.
