If you are looking for a Ferrari the cheapest way to get it is bidding for a requisitioned to a drug boss: it costs 150 euros

by

Not every day One can bid For a Ferrari FF or a Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG Second hand. But much less common is that these luxury cars can be achieved by a departure price of just 150 euros. However, there is a reason for weight behind: these high -end cars are goods confiscated to drug trafficking or seized to those responsible for those crimes after firm judicial sentences. A Ferrari FF and a Mercedes G 63 at a symbolic price As surreal that seems, the departure price for both cars is only 150 euros. We do not lack any zero in the amount. The main inconvenience is that both cars have been affected by floods in the judicial deposits in which they were kept. He Ferrari FF in Madridwhile the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG was affected by the Dana of Valencia that flooded the facilities of the judicial deposit in Cheste. The auction is based on a symbolic figure, far from the real value in the Spanish second -hand market, in which a similar FF FF, with 660 hp V12 engine and registration around 2012, can be found in concessionaires or platforms specialized by about 145,000 euros. This Support is a real red bullet capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and reaching 335 km/h that in its original sale price did not fall from 280,000 euros. For its part, the Mercedes-Benz G. 63 AMG with 5.5 -liter v8 biturbo engine, it is a luxury SUV whose 2014 to 2016 version is around a price of between 75,000 and 95,000 euros In the occasion market, also part of those 150 euros in the public auction. Both models are considered objects of desire both by collectors and by conductors that seek exclusivity and power. Auctioned to reverse the damage caused Once requisitioned, the seized assets, such as the Ferrari FF and the Mercedes-Benz G 63 to which we referred to, become managed by the Ministry of Health through the Government Delegation to finance the National Drug Plan. The “low cost” sale of these jewels on wheels responds to an auction policy that seeks to convert the money and resources of illegal activities into prevention and social help projects. According to Memory of the National Drug Plan, in 2024 1,881 seizures were registered from which some were obtained income of 28.35 million euros from Background of goods seized for illicit drug trafficking and other related crimes. Only in this electronic auction format, the seized goods fund obtained 3.22 million euros for several lots of machinery, vehicles, jewelry, boats, etc. As indicated in the report, 70% of the income obtained by the auction of goods seized to drug trafficking is used to reduce demand (prevention and attention to drug dependence), while the remaining 30% finances police and judicial projects for Fight drug trafficking and related crimes. The auction process is already open in the Escrapalia portal and will end on September 25. To be able to participate, those interested should register, present their documentation and pay a refundable bond that supports you in the bids. In addition, vehicles can be visited face -to -face on September 24 in Coslada (Madrid). In Xataka | Social security has entered the housing market.

Chatgpt now has a “router” that chooses for us what GPT-5 model use. And is choosing the cheapest

by

The launch of GPT-5 It has not been up to the expected. Instead of being surprised with the generational jump, too many people have missed GPT-4o warmth. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, anticipated the launch of the New model with the death starbut the Hype It has stayed very far from the moments wow like the Chatgpt images generationthat reached “melter” servers. One of the culprits has a name: “router” or router. What happened. Behind him Model nomenclatures mess of OpenAI (already Remember Xiaom’s mobile messi) and the fact of making the user have to choose which one more, the company chose to launch all (sub) GPT-5 models in a unified way. Now the system would choose the model that estimated the most to resolve the indication. The person in charge of this task is a “router”. This, “quickly decides which model to use based on the type of conversation, complexity, or the need for tools.” The problem is that in these first days, the router usually opts too many times by the basic GPT-5 model, in front of the “Thinking” model or reasoner. What has made the new generation seen as much more silly than Sam Altman came to affirm (he defended it was like have a team of doctors at your disposal). The necessary jump It seemed impossibleand indeed, many users have not felt it. The problem. Openai decides which model is more efficient for the user, but also which model is more efficient for their servers. At the launch of GPT-5, they have not been transparent about what leads them to use one model or another, and users who accuse them of choosing the cheapest model for Save costs. Aidan McLaughlin, employee of Openai, defended in x that prefers GPT-5 without reasoning the majority (65%) of times for how interacts with the user. He assured that they do not use the routing to save costs, but use the one they think is the best model for each consultation, for efficiency. It seemed a successbut it has arrived without complying with what users expect. Altman recognized launch failures. During a question session (AMA) on Reddit held on Friday, Sam Altman read and observed that for many users, GPT-5 did not work as well as 4th. To it He replied That the new model seemed “more silly”, because the router did not work well when they threw it on Thursday. Who warns is not a traitor. On July 19, after announcing great performance in Mathematics OlympiadAltman announced that GPT-5 was just around the corner, in front of images like that of the death star, he was cautious, claiming to want to establish realistic expectations: “This is an experimental model that incorporates new research techniques that we will use in future models” “We believe you will love GPT-5, but we do not plan to launch a model with the gold capacity level of the mathematical Olympiad for many months.” The case remembers Sora’s, who was shown Very green After the Initial announcement promisesor that of O3, which was launched with a performance in benchmarks inferior to the initially promised (Unleashing everything A debate about whether we were already in the AGI). Openai has had to make changes. Before the complaints, from OpenAi they took a great measure: return to the users of the subscription Plus the possibility that the subscribers of the plan (of 20 euros per month) will use 4th again. But, in addition, they have touched the router to better choose the appropriate model to each consultation. Of course, without explaining what leads to use one or the other. The trick (if you pay). When users perceived that the problem of the new chatgpt with GPT-5 was not the model itself, but that the router did not turn to the reasoning model, they launched to look for ways to make GPT-5 Thinking use. The way to do it has been to integrate phrases such as “think about your in -depth response” in the indications, as suggested and demonstrated DOTCSV. In this way, it is achieved that, for Plus users, chatgpt use the Thinking model Without spending the quota of 200 weekly messages Manual mode. This trick does not apply to the free model, which could only activate it without asking for GPT-5 Thinking automatically once a day. Use free reasoning. Another change confirmed by Altman has been to integrate a reasoning button again (hidden) to use the reasoning model in the free version. Trying it, Chatgpt acknowledges using the GPT-5 Thinking Mini model, and we have been able to use it in 10 messages. From there, he used the model without reasoning. Is the successor of O4-miniwhich in April also received for free Reasoning functions With a “Think” button. Result: More use of reasoning. After announcing an increase in reasoning limits, Sam Altman has offered Specific data of the number of users who use reasoning now before the launch, and what indicates is the little that was used before, even among payment users. Free users have gone from less than 1% to 7%, but what the most collides is that those who paid the plus only used 7% reasoning, compared to 24% of now. It surprises in the sense that the reasoning of O1 and O3 supposed one of the great advantages over the free plan, thus the capacities of Deep Research.

It has become the cheapest entertainment platform in Spain

by

Mercadona’s last viral is A bath gel that “Smells to gods”. Before it was A car corrector for the car made with hair lacquer. Last week, some margarita pizza flavor potatoes They “know the burning part.” Each product is a microhistory of discovery, a small corridor treasure that someone reveals in Tiktok like who finds gold in the river. The Valencian chain has transcended its original function: It is no longer just a supermarket, it is the cheapest entertainment platform in Spain. Contrary to what many believe (“Another undercover publication!”), The media publish all these news without Mercadona pay for a euro. Reality is more prosaic: Any article about a novelty in Mercadona generates a brutal traffic. And that’s why we see headlines like “Is razing for only 4 euros: madness in Mercadona for this popular product“Because many people arouse interest, therefore clicks, therefore gives pasta. It is the service journalism converted into dopamine machine, where the discovery of a product of 1.50 euros generates the same emotion that we reserved for real events. The editors know it, readers consume it, and Mercadona benefits without spending a euro on traditional advertising. The interesting thing is not that Carlos Ríos Analyz or that a car influencer use Deliplus lacquer to fix scratches. The thing is These contents work as small treasure search missions for a middle class which has normalized the hunting of gangs as a form of leisure. Going to Mercadona to look for “What I have seen on Tiktok” is the new hobby national, an Iberian version and Low-Cost of The culture of Unboxing. Each visit to the super promises the possibility of a viral finding, of being the first in your WhatsApp group to share the last rarity. It is the gamification of basic consumption: you have unlocked the Pizza, congratulations potatoes. Mercadona has created, surely without pretending, a perfect unpaid influencersystem. Current people who obsessively documented every novelty, every trick, every product “that nobody had seen so far.” They are a curious phenomenon of late capitalism, generating free content for a large company while they think they are doing a public service. In a way they are right. The nutritionist who classifies bread, the mechanic who finds alternative uses to lacquer, the Tiktoker who smells gels. Channels dedicated exclusively to Mercadona either that reserve a fixed section. Everyone works for free for Juan Roig while they are convinced that they are helping their followers. That this occurs in Spain in 2025, with Royal flat salaries for three decadesIt is no accident. We live in an era where real experiences are increasingly expensive and inaccessible, So we have democratized the emotion of discovery by reducing it to its minimum expression. We cannot afford Michelin star restaurants, but we can feel the emotion of discovering a strawberry ice cream “that is sweeping.” We do not travel as much as we would like, but we can experience the novelty by buying a gel that smells like expensive perfume. It is the distilled luxury experience in white marking products (Another phenomenon that defines us), Consumer Stockholm Syndrome that has learned to find joy in crumbs. Mercadona not only sells products: it also sells small doses of emotion at the balance price, and we have learned to need them as the one that needs your daily dose of Scroll infinite. Outstanding image | Mr. Ricochet In Xataka | Mercadona is more profitable than ever and is also closing stores for the first time in years. It is a calculated strategy

The platform eliminates its cheapest plan without ads

by

Winds of change in Netflix blow. Again. In silence and without issuing any type of statement to media, the platform has eliminated of a stroke the basic plan without ads. From today, that subscription, which until now was the cheapest option to see content without advertising, disappears. Not only for the new highs, but the users who paid for it will have to move to another. The options are two: start paying much more or pay less in exchange for seeing ads. The basic plan. If we look back, we will remember that Netflix offered a Basic plan without ads for 7.99 euros per month. This plan included the fair and necessary in terms of access, since it did not admit several simultaneous devices, or extra subscribers, or downloads, or broadcast to Chromecast and the resolution was HD (720p). However, I had no publicity. 7 tricks to make Netflix the most Image | Cottonbro Studio Cheap netflix = netflix with ads. With recent changes, that plan will cease to exist on September 1. Netflix remains, therefore, with only three plans: standard with ads (6.99 euros, ads, fullhd and limited catalog), standard (13.99 euros, without ads, Fullhd and the entire catalog) and Premium (19.99 euros, without ads, 4K and the entire catalog). What is the problem? That the plan will disappear, so the user will have to make a decision: pay one euro less per month and see ads or pay six more euros and not see them. Yes, it is true that the standard plan with ads is cheaper, admits FullHD resolution and two simultaneous devices, but the catalog is limited and well, it has advertising. In the event that the user does not make a decision, he will automatically pass to this plan. From now on, the cheapest plan to see Netflix without ads costs 13.99 euros per month Netflix without ads rises in price. It is another way of seeing it. After this change, the cheapest way to see the Netflix content without advertising happens to cost six euros more, which is what the standard plan is worth. The Premium Plan, which is the most powerful thing the company offers, does not rise in price and remains at 19.99 euros per month. And it works. Netflix’s great triumph has been to return to the exit boxto want to pay to see ads. Time has proved the platforms, who have found in their plans with advertisements one of the main drivers of new subscribers. In the case of Netflix, the platform announced in May that had reached 94 million users of plans with advertisements, a sensitive increase with respect to the 70 million it had in November 2023. These plans have reached almost all platforms and, incidentally, The volume of subscriptions triggered. It seems that the average user weighs more the potential savings in the monthlyness than to see some ads to which, on the other hand, it is already accustomed to linear television or social networks.

The cheapest way to maintain a Mazda RX-7 is to stuff a diesel engine. And yes, there are those who have dared with it

by

Rotary engine, scamotable headlights and a silhouette, simply, perfect. The third generation of Mazda RX-7 is not only a sculptural carit is a fundamental pillar of the Japanese automobile culture that came to us in the 90s. For those who grew up those years with Gran Tourism under the armJapan became an absolute reference when building our most precious memories. They were years of matagigants such as Honda NSX or the Nissan Skyline GT-Rdomain in the World Cup in Rallies of Subaru and Mitsubishiand the tunning with greater taste that has been seen with the Toyota supra, Mitsubishi Eclipse or the Mazda RX-7 (among many others that I leave) by flag. As if that were not enough, later the iconic would arrive Mazda RX-7 by Dominic Toretto In the first to all gas, I would return with Han in Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift And, meanwhile, we could drive it in the aforementioned Gran Turismo or in the Need For Speed, if we want to follow that tuning aspect. It is not surprising that the public has love to a car that was not only beautiful. He was also spectacular for his peculiar engine and his delicious sound. All that has been lost with this peculiar restoration. A DIESEL MAZDA? “I bought it two years ago and it was nothing more than a chassis (…) had no engine, or gearbox, or interior …” With these words, the Arnold declaration begins, a Polish that Account on the Nightride YouTube channel (Almost a million subscribers), the story of his Mazda RX-7. The words of the owner of this mythical sporting have the halo that seems to be exculpating their sins in the confessional. “I started with the aesthetic part”he recounts when he says that only after modifying his exterior and resembling him to aesthetics Touge (The Japanese seventies fashion to skid on the mountain roads that is collected in films such as Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift or in the famous initial manga d) It was when he thought what he would do with the engine. The third generation of Mazda RX-7 is famous for set up a rotary engine biturbo that reached 280 hp. In addition to a very light chassis, the car quickly became saint and sign of Drift lovers. It was a car that had everything, a brutal aesthetic, a rare engine and a sound that remembered the mythical Mazda 787b That was done with the victory in Le Mans. “I wanted the car to be controversial”. And what if it has been. Not precisely because of the aesthetic carbon fiber package based on the needd Speed Underground. Arnold decided that nothing would cause more impact than forgetting the rotating engine and seating a six diesel cylinders. Yes, you have read well. I know you need time to digest it. Can you keep reading? The six -cylinder diesel came from a BMW 5 E39 series. With the smile of who knows that has committed a crime He has achieved his goal, he says on the camera: “I wanted to have a car with a shocking engine under the hood. And it was shocking, because it works in a Mazda RX-7”. And then, with a smile, he explains that he valued many types of engines but that was finally decided by the six BMW diesel cylinders. A reliable and cheap engine. No other engine that I could use was so cheap and gave it so much performance. But he also confesses, “I liked to anger people.” Looking at the good side of things, Arnold says that the project was born with the idea of being “a cheap drift car” that could complement with the other RX-7 that, this yes, has a rotating engine in its garage. But the project became more expensive. He raised the power from 184 to 270 hp and installed a rear differential, also from BMW that he customized. He assures that he continues to use it as a car for Drift but, finally, so much attention for the detail has made it a vehicle to use on a day -to -day basis. With his beautiful image his diesel engine will not attract attention … until someone misses the particular howl of the newspaper. “Some love him and others hate him”says at the end of the video. Well, Arnold, we imagine that on that balance there are many more on one side than in the other. But at least we stayed that the chassis of a Mazda RX-7 was returned to life and now dazzles those who find it down the street.

There is a career to achieve the cheapest and most powerful model. And against all prognosis, China is winning it

by

On May 20 Google launched Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash in preliminary version. These new AI models were better than ever, and to demonstrate the company included in its announcement several graphs and comparative tables. They looked at how both surpassed their rivals both in the field of reasoning and in the traditional performance (Benchmarks of Mathematics or Programming), but there was also another fact that Google presumed: Google: The cost of Gemini 2.5 Flash. Source: Google. That table published by Google made it clear that Gemini 2.5 Flash It was clearly the winner of that comparison in the important price/benefits ratio. What Google did not say is that this success of this model was the exception to the rule, because in that race for having cheap and powerful models, China seems to take the lead. He does it at least if we attend to the cost of using these models. In Xataka we have analyzed that cost based not on the price of subscriptions for end users, but on the cost of access to the API, which is the one that allows developers to integrate these models into their own chatbots and their services. The API prices of each model clearly differentiate two uses from artificial intelligence. On the one hand, how much does it cost to write something for the model to then process it (the so -called input tokens). On the other, how much does the text generated by the model once processed the answer (the so -called output tokens). The entrance tokens They are usually five times cheaper than exitbecause processing the request and generating text is much more expensive than receiving it, analyzing and “understanding it.” We wanted to compare the cost of the main models of the AI ​​developed in China and those of the US, and although as always are not all that are, if they are all. The resulting table is as follows: These prices are public and very easy to find in the case of US AI models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) but not so much in the case of Chinese models (Deepseek, Qwen (Alibaba), Doubao (Bytedance), GLM-4 (Zhipu), Ernie (Baidu)). Be that as it may, the table, ordered from the cheapest to the most expensive, demonstrates that today Chinese models are especially cheap. Only Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview manages to compete – and does it exceptionally. In the rest of the cases, the AI ​​models in China win the battle for cost. It must be noted that, Like all comparisons, this is unfair. And it is because that table does not take into account the benefits of each model. Openai O3 and Anthropic Claude Opus 4, the last and most powerful models of those companies, are especially precise in their answers, but each consultation consumes much more resources (computation, energy) and that makes it logical that they are much more expensive than their competitors. But these models are also designed for very special cases and for specialized, detailed and deep consultations. In the vast majority of cases it is not necessary to use these models, and that is where they are competing for example Deepseek R1 or Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview: in the price/benefits ratio. Models with variable prices That price battle has made us see in recent times two techniques that some companies are applying to the prices of use of their APIs. The first one is to differentiate normal entries and outputs of inputs (and even exits) cache. Deepseek API prices. Attentive to the lower left: according to the time you use them, they can leave cheaper. Source: Deepseek. The explanation is simple: a “normal” entry is a request or question that the model has never processed and therefore has to process completely. If the entrance has been caught (Cache hit) is because that request has been processed in the past, so the system can obtain the response of its cache, which significantly reduces the computational costs. Deepseek, Google, Anthropic and Openai offer this type of option, as can be seen in the table. The second technique is to use variable prices according to (at the moment) the time slot in which we use these models. This is what Deepseek has done, which has “day” and “night” prices according to UTC schedule. If you use the Depseek API from 18:30 to 2:30 (Peninsular schedule in Spain), it will be half price. Good news: AI is every time (much) cheaper While China and the US fight who has the most powerful model or who has the cheapest model, what is constantly happening is that the AI ​​price is falling remarkably. It is an observation that several experts such as Ethan Mollick, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania who recently analyzed how That price/benefits ratio does nothing but improve. The models are getting better and cheaper. Other experts such as Raveesh Bhalla – explained by Netflix and LinkedIn – also reflected this evolution at the beginning of the year. Then he showed how the cost of an O1 level model had dropped 27 times in the last three months. Moreover, at this rhythm the GPT4 level models – which a year ago were absolute referents – will be reduced 1,000 times in just 18 months. We are living it in price reduction. Dane Bahey, from Openai, said at a conference in September last year how the cost per million tokens had fallen from 36 dollars At just 0.25 dollars In the last 18 months. And that price drop is still clear and fantastic for users. Thus, we are facing a career that at the moment has a lot of stretch: China’s models carry the lead if we attend only to their cost, but careful, because we must also take into account the benefits. It is true that these Chinese models have already shown in the benchmarks that have been showing that they compete from you to you with the best US models, and now it remains to … Read more
