Grok 3 does not arrive and Xai is staying behind

by

In the last hours we have known The offer Elon Musk has made Not by OpenAi as such, but for the one by the non -profit association (nonprofit) that controls it. That has unleashed a debate about the true reasons for this offer, but also leaves a question in the candlestick: in what situation is Elon Musk in the AI ​​segment? Hi, Xai. Elon Musk carries in a Open war with Sam Altman for years, and in fact In April 2023, Xai created to develop their own AI models. Since then the company has launched some AI models and made striking advances with Grokbut it seems to be left in many lands. In others, yes, it surprises. Grok was sarcastic … In November 2023 XAI Grok presentedthe AI ​​model that competed with Chatgpt and did it with a striking characteristic: had a sarcastic tone. From its launch and for months Grok It was only available for X subscribers. … and Grok 2 has no censorship. In August 2024 the new version was presented, Grok 2more advanced and powerful. However, what caught the attention of this model was its apparent lack of censorship. Thus, it is possible Generate images of any kind, including Deepfakes of famous peoplesomething that other models do not allow. Elon Musk and XAI announced in December 2024 that They opened the model To all X users without having a payment subscription, something that undoubtedly promoted its use and popularity. Grok 1 is “Open Source” (but Grok 2 No). One of Grok’s striking features is that Elon Musk shared this project as Open Source. The gigantic original model, of 314,000 million parameters (314b) was then four times larger that calls 2, the other great reference in Open Source models, with 65b size. The funny thing is that Grok 2 is not: it is not in the Official XAI repository In Github, and there is no news that the same thing that happened with his predecessor will happen. Investment rounds. In November 2024 Elon Musk got lift 5,000 million dollars For XAI, who joined the round of 6,000 million dollars that raised in May 2024 and at least two other planned rounds According to Crunchbase. The firm certainly seems to have notable funds, but be careful, because it is surely burning them, as with OpenAi. 100,000 NVIDIA GPUS. Last summer Musk lit “The most powerful the world of the world“, which apparently was baptized With the name of Colossus and that has 100,000 GPUS NVIDIA H100. It is supposed to be used to train its new model of AI, Grok 3, and of course having that computing power is theoretically a guarantee to stay competitive with its rivals. Where is Grok 3? But the truth is that Grok 3 still does not appear, and that Musk promised to have it ready in December. Musk Indian In January that Grok 3 “will arrive soon” and that the pre-training stage was complete and had used 10 times more computation capacity than with Grok 2. In Tom’s Hardware they also point out that XAI has used the data generated by users of X for that training. Reasoning models and AI agents. The great unknown is what will happen with XAI in two areas where its competitors are advancing to forced marches. Deepseek R1 has promoted the Free availability of reasoning models, but there are also several AI companies that have already shown agricultural models such as Operator of OpenAi or Computer Use of Anthropic. That XAI knows does not have alternatives at the moment. The rear. All this makes it clear that today Xai continues to rely in most proposals in the market. His models are not the best, he has no reasoning models or public agents, and Musk seems to be more interested in putting the Zancadilla to Altman already OpenAi than to get XAI to lead this technological career. Even so, surely there will be news of the company soon, and it will be then that we can value the real situation of it. Image | DVIDS | XAI In Xataka | Chatgpt and its rivals are sosainas.

The largest campus in Europe will arrive with an investment Emiratí multimillionaire

by

If they ask us what place in the world concentrates the largest number of companies from Artificial Intelligence (AI) known, the most obvious response would be the United States. The North American country is the home of OpenAi, Microsoft, Google, goal, among others. Europe, on the other hand, does not have such recognizable names in the sector. And it is no accident: if the continent wants to compete from you to you with its main rivals, including the thriving Chinese marketyou need to bet more strongly for this industry. Along these lines, some governments are already implementing certain initiatives. At the community level, Brussels has announced an investment of 52 million eurosSpain has laid the foundations for an “public and open” With a strategic planand France wants to lead with the largest IA campus in Europe From the hand of the United Arab Emirates. The latter has been released recently by both governments and promises to arrive accompanied by a multi -million dollar investment. Betting on artificial intelligence France aspires to play a leading role in the rise of algorithms. This week, Paris was the epicenter of a World Summit on AIwhere experts from around the world entered the threats and promises of this technology. Within the framework of this event, President Emmanuel Macron and Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, leader of the United Arab Emirates, They witnessed the signing of a cooperation agreement between their countriesa pact that promises to enhance the development of joint projects. Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed al Nahyan, leader of the United Arab Emirates (up to the left), Emmanuel Macron, president of France (above right) As the Emirates news agency collectsthe alliance includes an investment by the nation rich in oil in France, as well as “the acquisition of avant -garde chips, the infrastructure of data centers and the talent development, and by establishing virtual data embassies to allow Sovereign AI and cloud infrastructure in both countries. ” The French government, meanwhile, has pointed out that the initiative contemplates the construction of a huge data center. Its exact location has not yet been revealed, but what is known is that it will be a 1 Gigavatio installation within a largest IA campus in Europe. This ambitious project, with an estimated investment of between 30,000 and 50,000 million euroswill be led by a Franco-Emirati consortium, with the MGX investment fund, backed by United Arab Emirates. We will have to wait to see how this initiative develops and if it manages to reinforce the position of the European country, home of companies such as Mistral AI, in an increasingly competitive sector.

Amazon lost the AI ​​train, but wants to recover it. The new Alexa with ia will arrive this month to try

by

Something happens to Amazon. He has been delayed in the AI ​​segment for more than two years. At least that is what seems to the user: it does not have a chatgpt rival, and although it has developed some own models, they do not compete at the moment with those of OpenAi, Google or goal. However, it seems that it will finally try to catch up. There will be news on February 26. We will have to mark that date on the calendar, because it will be when Amazon will finally present its strategy in this area. The company led by Andy Jassy He has sent invitations To various means to notify them that he will celebrate an event with a single protagonist: Alexa. Hello, new Alexa. The event will be presented by Panos Panay, who directed the Microsoft hardware division and will now present the renewed Amazon voice assistant. According to Reuters On February 14, the company’s managers will go to a special meeting to finally decide whether that new version of Alexa is prepared to come to light. Project development It has been chaos according to sources close to it. Waiting for a “remarkable” assistant with a lot of AI. We have been talking about that new version for months that some point to the call “remarkable Alexa” (“Alexa”). The great jump will be provided by the generative AI that will be available in the product and that will theoretically enhance its conversational capacity. Anthropic as a partner? It will be interesting to know which model of AI will be behind the new Alexa. Amazon has invested Friolera of 8,000 million dollars In Anthropic, Claude developer, so it seems feasible to be based on that model. But be careful, because Google too Invested 1,000 million dollars In that company of AI and they also have their own model, Gemini, which could also be an option in the renewed Alexa. There are other possibilities, of course: it is known that Amazon was working In its colossal LLM, Olympusthat it is rumored that it would have two billion parameters, approximately twice as much as GPT-4 of OpenAi. An opportunity for echo. Amazon has a spectacular opportunity here to give a new life to its smart speakers, the Amazon Echo, who were the great excuse to try to take advantage of Alexa. Achieve it, of course, will depend a lot on the quality of the service and if it really represents a substantial improvement of its options. Alexa promised to get us to speak much more with our machines (specifically, with the Echo speakers), but the truth is that few users took advantage of them for something other than establish alarms or ask about time. And for Amazon. Achieving, for example, using Alexa in a “agricultural” way, would make them not only respond to things, but did them for us. They are already able to reproduce a song or a series on the Fire TV Stick, for example, but here the possibilities grow. For example, when combining those AI models with the immense catalog of Amazon products. Ask him to make the purchase or find a certain product and save us thus time (and perhaps money) are some obvious possibilities that could take advantage of this new version of Alexa. Subscribe to Alexa. Rumors suggest that Alexa’s renewed version will be available only through a subscription. That imposes clear doubts About its success, especially when so many other models are available for free and are already very powerful for certain scenarios. If we effectively have a “premium” payment, Amazon will have to have powerful arguments to convince us that it is worth paying for that service.

Trump’s deportation campaign begins: day laborers arrested at work arrive in Mexico

by

TIJUANA, Mexico . — Mexican day laborers detained while working began to be deported to Mexico while at various points on the border with the United States the construction of new spaces to house migrants and face the mass deportations announced by Donald Trump was accelerated. About 70 deportees in what could be some of the first raids of the new U.S. administration arrived in Tijuana in small groups over about three hours Tuesday night, some dressed in work clothes carrying orange bags with their belongings. Migrants who were deported from the United States to Mexico wave as they are transported to a shelter as they cross the El Chaparral pedestrian border bridge in Tijuana, Mexico, on the evening of Tuesday, January 21, 2025. (Felix Marquez/AP) As a man shouted from a distance to a small group of journalists, they were detained on Tuesday while they were working as day laborers in Denver, Colorado. Another migrant said he had been arrested in Oregon without giving further details. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed on Wednesday that there were returns the day before and, without specifying, indicated that the numbers were lower than usual. In 2024, according to official data, more than 500 Mexicans were deported daily on average along the entire border. This month, through one point alone, Nogales, on the border with Arizona, about 150 were deported daily, according to data from the Kino Initiative shelters. On an empty lot next to the border in Ciudad Juárez, next to El Paso, workers used cranes to erect large metal structures that would later become shelters. In Nogales, sports centers were set up to serve migrants. In Matamoros, spaces were expanded in shelters already operating and to the south of Piedras Negras the authorities announced that they wanted to enable empty industrial warehouses for the same purpose. Sheinbaum said Wednesday that the nine federal centers located in municipalities adjacent to the 11 official people repatriation points would be ready in three or four days. The president emphasized that formal conversations with the new US administration have also begun with a call between Mexican Foreign Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday. “It was a very good conversation, very cordial, they talked about migration issues, security issues,” Sheinbaum said without giving more details. In addition to the nine new centers, the federal government plans to use some existing ones in Tijuana, Ciudad Juárez and Matamoros where, as explained by Ariadna Montiel, Secretary of Welfare, foreigners who had an appointment to request asylum in the United States but who were canceled when Trump paralyzed the CBPOne virtual application. However, Sheinbaum has insisted that Mexico’s objective with foreigners, both those who were waiting for an appointment and those who are returned due to the reinstatement of the “Remain in Mexico” program – which returns asylum seekers while they wait for their hearing in court Americans—is to first give them humanitarian care and then return them to their countries voluntarily.

The US closes the door to all refugees who had already been approved to arrive in the country

by

An executive order signed by President Donald Trump, where he decrees the cancellation of refugee flights, It shattered the dreams of thousands of foreigners who had previously been approved to receive asylum in the United States. The State Department issued a memorandum to its resettlement partners informing them that no more refugees will be allowed access to the American Union.this, even if they have been previously approved to reside in the American Union. “All previously scheduled refugee travel to the United States is canceled and no new travel bookings will be made. RSCs should not request travel for any additional refugee cases at this time,” the document states. It is estimated that nearly 10,000 refugees already had travel reservations, as their profile had been approved by personnel from the previous US federal administration. The most complex thing about the matter is that All processes to request refuge in the American Union were also canceled. “All refugee case processing processes and pre-departure activities are suspended. The RSCs and the IOM should not transfer the refugees to transit centers before they travel and must stop all pre-departure activities for refugee cases. No new referrals should be made to the USRAP,” the memo emphasizes. The State Department announced that all processes to request refuge in the American Union were also canceled. (Credit: José Luis Magaña / AP) This new position adopted by the US government must be implemented immediately, but will have no implications for refugees already residing in the United States nor for holders of special immigrant visas who, despite being outside the country for the moment, can re-enter when they determine. During the Biden administration, a limit was established to provide shelter annually to 125,000 foreigners who had previously passed various filters intended to rule out any sign of danger or risk to American security. However, from the perspective of Donald Trump, it is necessary to rethink all the support that the nation has given to the world, including the issue of providing asylum to people at risk in their respective nations of origin. Following the same policy, The US president separately ordered the Office of Management and Budget to suspend all types of support abroad, non-governmental organizations, international organizations or contractors, this during the next three months.
