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.

(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.

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.

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.
