The chip war between the US and China is already leaving collateral damage. Although in South Korea

For the South Korean government Your semiconductor industry has a strategic role, like those of OLED panel production either Battery manufacturing. These three sectors have A very deep impact on its economyso it is understandable that the administration does everything in its hand to reinforce its position in the global market and increase its competitiveness. In mid -December 2023 Yoon Suk Yeol, the former president of this Asian country, traveled to the Netherlands with the purpose of consolidating an alliance with ASML in matters of integrated circuits, among other priority objectives. During the last months South Korea He has “faced” the US To protect the business of its main semiconductor manufacturers in China, among which are Samsung and SK Hynix. But his short -term perspective is discouraging. Sales of semiconductors to China have fallen in February 31.8% The Chinese market is essential for South Korea. It is at least if we stick to the integrated circuit industry. At the end of 2024 the country led by Xi Jinping represented approximately two fifths of all southern Korea technology exports, but the chips flow is plummeting. According to the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy of this last nation in January 2025 the sale of chips It contracted 22.5% compared to the same month of the previous year. 2025 is going to be a bad year for the semiconductor industry due to the cooling of global demand and the impact of tariffs And in February the fall has been even more steep: 31.8% compared to February 2024. This trend supports the omens that predict for months that 2025 will be a bad year for the semiconductor industry due to the cooling of global demand and to the impact that tariffs presumably they are already having in the integrated circuit industry. In any case, to South Korea this incipient crisis seems to be affecting more than other countries that also live largely from chips, such as Taiwan. Samsung and SK Hynix lead the memory chips market, and much of their income comes from precisely these semiconductors. The US sanctions prevent them from selling their most advanced chips to their Chinese clients, which, precisely, are those that usually live with the GPUs for artificial intelligence (AI). China has responded by dedicating more resources to the development of Your own memory technologieswhat is causing A prices decrease which is clearly affecting the Samsung and SK Hynix business. Despite all the consultant Gartner has predicted that The AI ​​will pull the semiconductor industry For 2025, leaving the door ajar to the possibility that finally this year is not as bad for chips manufacturers as the first figures point.

China has just resolved one of the advantages of human hunting pilots in front of AI: interpreting the unpredictable

by

There was a small redoubt in military key where “human strength” continued to be imposed on algorithms. When it comes to Air Force and the management of combat aircraft such as the Ultra Popular f-16 huntingthe pilots had an advantage that paralyzed the advance of the AI: they were unpredictable in their maneuvers. They may have the days counted. China has found how to anticipate. The end of the human advantage. In A study Published a few weeks ago, China seems to have achieved an unprecedented advance in air combat. As? By eliminating the last tactical advantage of human pilots over artificial intelligence: the ability to maneuver and high intensity to evade attacks. A team of researchers from the North -Western Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, a key branch of the Norinco Armament Gianthas developed a system that combines advanced infrared images with predictive modeling of AI to Precision anticipate movements of an opponent by detecting subtle adjustments on their control surfaces, such as ailerons and rudders. The study. The advance, detailed in a work published in December in it Journal of Gun Launch & Controladdresses a key limitation of AI systems in air combat: their dependence on trajectory -based predictions, which also fail to respond effectively to non -linear and sudden maneuvers of human pilots. The team, led by engineer Lin Zhiwei, overcame this problem by focusing on the Physical mechanics of enemy aircraftallowing AI to interpret millimeter movements on the control surfaces to predict actions before they are completed. How it works. As detailed, the system is based on the use of a modified neuronal network Yolov8the same that analyzes infrared images and Detect microdeformations In the components of the plane, such as the rudder of 1.5 meters from an F-15 or its two-meter stabilizer. These data are then processed in a long and short term memory network (LSTM) Improved with care mechanisms, which allows anticipating the pilot maneuvers in real time, without depending solely on previous flight patterns. In simulations, AI managed to reduce prediction errors less than two meters. It is no small thing, let’s think that it is an improvement of ten times with respect to traditional systems. Applied to automated anti -aircraft systems, this precision would even allow direct attacks directly to the pilot’s cabin if necessary. The test. In their study, the researchers tested the algorithm in flight profiles that They imitated real tactics fighting. In one of these scenarios, an F-15 launched ammunition at low altitude and then performed an abrupt ascent, a maneuver that requires a millimeter coordination of flight controls. In another case, the aircraft executed rapid evasions with erratic movements and sudden changes of direction. In both experiments, the AI ​​predicted the displacements Milliseconds in advancecanceling the pilot’s evasion capacity. A new chapter in the arms race. The advance comes at a key moment in the global race for the supremacy of AI in air combat. In 2020, The Alphadogfight Trials From the Advanced Defense Research Projects (DARPA) of the United States They demonstrated the superiority of AI in combat simulations. More recently, in 2024, an AI system participated in A real dogfight against a human pilot for the first time. The difference? The Chinese team emphasizes that its technology is designed to Optimize fire controlmore than to allow completely autonomous attacks. However, the principles of their AI align with international programs such as “loyal wingman” drones of the United States Air Force, which combine piloted airplanes with combat systems. Plus: The study also confirms that technology is viable with current hardware. Using Chinese manufacturing PS800 infrared sensors, which achieve a resolution of 0.375 miliradia at distances of eight kilometers, the required precision levels are reached For use in real combat. Limitations and countermeasures. Despite its advanced abilities, the system is not invulnerable, of course. One of its main weaknesses expressed by the authors themselves is the possible Interference for electronic countermeasures and optics (such as We have counted in several occasions). In other words: an adversary could use high -power lasers to blind or even destroy the infrared chambers that AI needs to detect the movements of the enemy. There is still a wide margin of improvement. The future of air combat. What seems clear is that the development of this technology represents a turning point in the Air War. Until now, human pilots had a fundamental advantage: what is not studied, the ability to Perform unpredictable maneuvers To avoid being shot down. However, with the ability of this algorithm described to read even the most subtle movements of a combat plane and predict their trajectory with millimeter precision, human pilots could be very close to losing their last tactical advantage and opportunity to overcome machines in a contest. The drones They started the change In real fighting, now it seems that the completely autonomous war is one step closer.

China needs cardiologists in an increasingly aged society. His answer is an AI that “reason” as the best

by

820,000 people. That is the number of patients that the Department of Cardiology of the Zhongshan hospital attended in 2024. A very high figure for a country in which doctors are missing and that sees that, every so often, every so often, His hospitals overflow. Increased higher health coverage, especially for an increasingly aging populationand the answer has been found in artificial intelligence. In a cardiologist, specifically, which has trained with a base of hundreds of thousands of people and has all the support of the government. Cardiomind. That is the name of artificial intelligence that has been developed by the Zhongshan hospital, the University of Fudan and the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Academy for Science. It is a joint effort to create an AI that, according to them, is able to reason as their best cardiologists. GE Junbo is one of those outstanding cardiologists of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Comment They are feeding the system with data, but they also teach him “to think as an expert first level cardiologist.” Co-pilot. In this way, Cardiomind compares patient history and the results of tests based on global research to generate diagnostic suggestions. And if you were raising one, leaving the possibility of leaving your heart’s health on the awareness of a machine, in the word “suggestion” is the key. According to its creators, the idea is not that doctors are replaced, but that it helps those members of a congested system to work faster and more accurately. “With their help, our doctors can attend more patients, reduce the workload and improve both the quality of the diagnosis and the treatment,” commented The doctor. Pillars. The secret of the pizza is in the dough, in the case of AI, that special sauce is the training. Cardiomind is a multimodal system that can analyze and process data from various sources (electrocardiograms, ultrasound and laboratory results, for example) to provide its diagnosis, and it is what has been trained. The source has been hundreds of thousands of medical records that the Hospital Cardiology Department had stored for decades, learning in the process how doctors think both in the diagnosis and during treatment. In addition to multimodal and very trained, it specializes in one thing: cardiovascular diseases. Total government support. And all this comes from the hand of itself. China is investing strong in development of artificial intelligences and, although in the West only a few as Deepseek They are the ones that attract attention, the country has been betting for the development of these systems to decongest several organisms. And that of medicine is fundamental. In January of this year, and apart from Cardiomind, established In Shanghai the first test and verification center of large models of AI in the field of medicine. Their fields will be assistance, disease prediction, personalized treatment according to the history of each patient and support to develop drugs. Necessary. Such is that impulse that several hospitals already have their own AI platforms, even some that They combine Contemporary and traditional medicine. And the reason why this technological development is being promoted is the one mentioned above. The population is getting older and doctors are missing. It is estimated that the country has 1.9 doctors per 1,000 inhabitants and They want have 5.5 nurses per 1,000 people for this year. In other countries, the average is devastating. In Spain, for example, there is 6.21 doctors per 1,000 inhabitants. In the case of nurses, the figure is 7.12. Challenges. Now, despite that government impulse, there are three elements to take into account. One is that of the data security to guarantee privacy. In the case of Cardiomind, those responsible developed a firewall with encrypted data. Other countries are studying How to apply AI in cardiology and, precisely, data leakage and ethics is a point that is usually present Among the concerns. Ethics also plays a role, since if it goes from suggesting to a more important role, it would be necessary to legally regulate it. At the moment, or they are in charge “only” of paperwork and records or, if they attend decision making, the last word has a human. In addition, there is the technological issue itself. The development of these artificial intelligences needs servers and calculation power. It is something that China is solving more or less controversial forms buying items that They should not be able to buy due to the commercial war with the West, but also using solutions developed at home, such as the chips of a huawei that is the spearhead in development of hardware for AI in the Asian giant.

China is getting closer to overcoming NASA in its Martian mission. And just invited other countries to join

by

Mars Return’s drama. Since I arrived in Mars in 2021, NASA’s Perseverance Rover has been depositing Roca nuclei and Marciano Regolito in hermetic tubes dispersed by the red planet for your future collection. Mars Sample Return is NASA’s mission and the European Space Agency to recover those samples (38 tubes in total) and bring them to Earth. Last year, with a forecast of delays in sample return up to 2039 and an estimated budget of between 7,700 and 11,000 million dollars, NASA de facto canceled Mars Sample Return to control the cost overheads. The agency listened to alternative proposals and, at the beginning of 2025, delayed the decision for a year to Choose between two options: An internal architecture of the NASA JPL laboratory or a commercial ship of the private industry. China has taken the lead. With Mars Sample Return in suspense, China has many ballots to Become the first country to bring Martian soil samples. The launch of the Chinese mission Tianwen-3 is scheduled for 2028after Tianwen-2 launches up to an asteroid near Earth this year as proof of previous technological concept. Tianwen-3 is a simpler mission that Mars Sample Return because it would collect the samples of the landing place, instead of the carefully selected rock nuclei in different places by the Rover Perseverance. However, it has the same objectives as the NASA mission: analyze samples on Earth in search of organic substances and “biosignuras”, signs of past life. Tianwen-3 opens to other countries. The China Space Agency (CNSA) also announced that its sampling recovery mission will be open to international cooperation. Scientists and space agencies around the world can propose until June 30 scientific experiments or instruments to include in the Chinese mission. Tianwen-3 will carry 15 kg of foreign instruments on the ship that will return to the Earth with the samples and 5 kg of additional foreign instruments in the orbiter that will remain in Martian orbit. It could be the case that the European Space Agency, which already participated in Mars Sample Return with the return ship, made a proposal and ended up advancing NASA in this way. Multimillionaires to the rescue. Meanwhile, in the United States, Spacex and Blue Origin have proposed NASA to take advantage of the same ships they have in development for Artemis lunar missions (Starship and Blue Moon) with the aim of recovering Mars samples. However, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have already received numerous public contracts, and a third millionaire, Peter Beck, CEO of the Rocket Lab’s rocket company, It has a more concrete and simple proposal. A solution of 4,000 million dollars with simple technology to bring the samples in 2031, the same year as the Chinese nave Tianwen-3 would return to the earth. Rocket Lab architecture. Three launches in total for all ships of the mission. The orbiter Mars Telecommunications Orbiter would facilitate communication between Mars and Earth. The Lander Lander Lander lands would land on the surface of Mars to collect the samples with the same supersonic aerocies and parachutes that the Martian Rovers use. The Mars Ascent Vehicle, designed as a single rocket stage, would take off towards the Martian orbit with chemical propulsion Using Electron Rutherford engines from Rocket Lab. The Earth Return Orbiter ship would collect the samples in the Martian orbit to bring them back to the earth using similar engines. The three goals of the space race. Decide what NASA decides, China is determined to take advantage of the delays of Mars Sample Return to get the symbolic victory of bringing the first samples of Mars, as has already happened with the Chang’e-6 mission and the first samples of the hidden face of the moon. At the same time, there are two other goals in the space race. The United States announced to hype and saucer that would take the first woman to the moon with the Artemis III mission (planned by 2027), but its launch has been delayed and now the architecture of every Artemis program, as well as that of Mars Sampple Return, It is in question for the numerous cost overruns of the SLS rocket and Starship’s delays. China, meanwhile, plans to reach the moon in 2030. Then, both countries will try to take the first humans to Mars. Image | POT In Xataka | NASA had marked two major short -term objectives.

China became famous for its eternal working days. The solution has been to throw employees at their time

by

The Reduction of the working day It seems to be a path of no return that many countries have proposed to move. Some, Like GreeceThey do not do it with a determined step. Instead, others whose self -denial It seemed immovable, they are surprising the world with day reduction measures. China is one of those countries that, unexpectedly, has proposed to cut its workday. Labor culture 996. While in a large part of the West the eight -hour workday begins to be seen as a vestige of the last century and fights for the reduction of working hours, in China the culture 996 still continues: work from nine in the morning to nine o’clock at night and six days per week. Such and as they tell In ethic, that pace of work is taking Chinese society to the extreme, pulling on the soils The birth rate in a country that for years has sinned just the opposite. Chinese authorities have been trying for years Eliminate the culture of 996 of the workplace, but Without too much success. Dji has seriously proposed. According to The published by SCMP, Since the end of February something very curious is happening in DJI, the Chinese drone manufacturer. When the clock marks nine o’clock at night, a squad of human resources managers travels through the brand’s central offices in Shenzhen. Their mission is to make sure that all employees without exception leave their jobs and go home as if it were a fire drill. Instead of evacuating the building for security, employees are “guests” to leave their cubicles to meet a new rule: no one can work beyond their day. The fault is “Neijuan”. No, Neijuan It is not the name of the company’s Human Resources Manager. The term could translate to something as “involution” and, as they explain in SCMP, It refers to the need to reduce excess competition in certain areas of the economy. The measure is imposed as a New economic policy of China in which it is intended to reduce the excess of competence that makes companies in certain sectors such as The technological either Renewable energiesinvest an unnecessary amount of resources without obtaining an improvement in their profitability or in their R&D in return. Therefore, it implies outbound templates without registering a significant advance generating inefficient competition. It is something unpublished in China. Until recently, it was common to see the offices of DJI illuminated until the early hours of the morning with employees who lengthened their days until infinity. Now, the image is very different and has impacted many who have commented on social networks. The Asian media highlighted the publication of a worker surprised by the measure that commented “it was the first time they threw me from the office.” Other technological giants are adding. Although the work culture 996 has the support of prominent names of the Chinese technology industry Like Jack Mamore and more international companies such as Haier or Measure They are adding to the call of the Chinese government of limit the days of its employees. According to sources of SCMPHaier would have ordered all the staff of his headquarters to respect the breaks of two days of the weekend, while Midea has begun to demand that the workers file their departure at 6:20 p.m., instead of 9 pm.

They are your best chance against China

by

The Japan government has announced that it will invest 200,000 million yen (about 1.5 billion dollars) to accelerate the development and commercial production of Perovskita solar panels, a technology of Japanese origin that could be their best opportunity for Challenge China in the global market of renewable energies. The bet is monumental. With this strong public investment, the Japanese authorities seek that the production of photovoltaic cells of Perovskita is equivalent to the capacity of 20 nuclear reactors by the year 2040. To achieve this, the Perovskita would mean a paradigm shift in the energy economy of Japan and the global geopolitics of clean energy. Light, flexible and very Japanese. Perovskita is a crystalline material with the ability to absorb a lot of light which can be manufactured in ultrafine layers based on raw materials more affordable than silicon. Perovskita’s solar cells were invented by Japanese scientist Tsutomu Miyasaka while working in Fujifilm. Japan Bet on movies of approximately one millimeter thick. One of the greatest values ​​of this type of panel is its versatility. Due to their fine thickness and reduced weight, they can be installed on complex surfaces, such as roofs with little load capacity, buildings walls, transport stations or even vehicles. In a country with such little flat and usable land as Japan, these advantages could be decisive to boost solar energy beyond the large traditional photovoltaic parks. The equivalent of 20 nuclear reactors. Japan has marked a very demanding calendar. The goal of producing energy equivalent to 20 nuclear reactors by 2040 is framed in the commitment that between 22% and 29% of the country’s total electricity generation comes from solar energy by then. At present, solar energy represents only 10% of its energy mix. To fulfill this road map, the government has granted subsidies of up to 1 billion dollars to Sekisui Chemicalone of the leading conglomerates in the development of Perovskita. They add up to the 500 million dollars already invested in the research and development of technology and other funds that would ensure the supply chain. Iodine is an essential component in the manufacture of Sovskita and Japan solar cells is one of the world’s world producers. The technical and economic challenges. One of the biggest technical challenges for Perovskita solar panels is moisture degradation. Sekisui He says he developed a sealed with specialized resins to prevent water between and accelerate deterioration. As for the economic challenges, the main unknown is how long it will take to lower manufacturing costs to competitive levels, taking into account that producing flexible Perovskita panels is between three and four times more expensive than making crystalline silicon panels, which have been lowering the price year after year thanks to the Huge production capacity of China. Japan hopes that thanks to mass production, the price of these new panels will become comparable to that of traditional ones. Reduce China dependence. In the end, it’s about that. China leads overwhelmingly the manufacture of solar panels conventional silicon, concentrating about 85% of the global production of photovoltaic cells and about 80% of the polysilic that they use. Japan, like other countries, depends largely on Chinese technology. The defenders of the Japanese bet see in the Perovskita a historical opportunity to break that hegemony. This material dispenses with silicon and uses iodine, whose main world producer, next to Chile, is Japan, thus reducing bottlenecks and dependency risks. Not only Japan develops Perovskitas. China too He is trying to win Japan In his own game. There are different variants of Perovskita and, while Japanese laboratories put all their efforts in ultrafine and flexible films, China has quickly advanced in hybrid models (more efficient silicon-butrovskite tandem cells) with thicker glass coated glass modules. Although both regions compete with the same material in mind, the market could end up segmented in applications: in Japan, covered and facades; In China, large solar parks or double -layer panels for urban environments.

China is improving both its wind turbines that Germany only finds an explanation: spies

by

Espionage is an art that requires adequate ingenuity, strategy and tools. But if we talked about using wind turbines to obtain information, it would seem science fiction. However, reality exceeds fiction, China has been accused of spying on Germany. Short. A group of German experts has detailed In a report that Chinese manufacturers could be using sensors in wind turbines to collect unauthorized data in Germany. In detail. The report, commissioned by the German Ministry of Defense, suggests that Chinese companies They could use sensors of turbines to extract confidential data or turn off the turbines remotely. In addition, they have recommended suspending wind projects that have a Chinese signature, the first being the Waterkant Marine Park. And what does China say? China’s Chamber of Commerce (CCCEU) has described the report as “technically unlikely and lacking a factual basis.” From the Chinese agency they have assured that companies are complying with European regulations. In addition, they have argued that concerns about security, related to data collection or remote control, are a pretext to block Chinese companies in the European market, which could affect loyal competition and international commercial relations. But can the turbines be used to spy? According to the CCCEU and Chinese experts, wind turbines They are not equipped to spy. The sensors are designed to optimize performance, monitor failures and protect wildlife. In addition, the remote control and management systems of wind farms, such as Waterkant, are managed by German and European companies. From the Chinese part they reinforce the idea that these allegations are unfounded and part of an attempt to protect the local market. But in defense. Marine wind projects have been suspended for military security concerns such as It happened in Sweden. The reason is because a wind farm can affect the arrest and monitoring of missiles due to the dimensions of a wind turbine. However, other countries are using them in their favor as the case of Poland, which has installed radar and sound systems among wind turbines. In addition, a similar strategy is addressing Windeurope together with NATO and the European Defense Agency (EDA) with the creation of a new project: Symbiosis. In it they seek to deploy marine renewable energies in the maritime defense space and create synergies to address them. Other accusations of espionage to China. It is not the first time that the Asian giant is accused in the German country, less than a year ago, three suspects They were arrested for stealing military technology. He was also accused of Early Europe With its secret space plane. It should be added, all the material you are designing to improve your espionage skills as Use Starlink signals to detect spy and drones airplanes, or A camera that identifies faces 100 kilometers. Finally, the Asian country It is developing A espionage agency, the Guoanbu, to become the first world power by 2049. The approach is based on economic and technological intelligence, along with cyberspage capabilities. Forecasts. Right now the US tariff replication has left a vacuum In global trade, which China is taking advantage of exporting its exports. For that reason, China wants to continue investing and working with the European Union. Despite this friction, bilateral shops They have reached The 5,591 billion yuan (771 billion dollars) in 2024, reflecting an interannual increase of 1.6 percent.

China intimidates in nuclear fusion. The construction of its own iter advances at full speed

by

The way to a destiny as challenging as the nuclear fusion Commercial must necessarily be full of small conquests. Of achievements that may seem modest, but that, in reality, are milestones that place us a little closer to an ambitious goal that does not pursue anything other than help us solve our energy needs without continuing to emit greenhouse gases. In this context Iter monopolizes much of attention. And it is understandable that it is so. After all, it is a project with a huge wingspan, which is also led by the European Union. In fact, this organization is assuming together approximately 50% of the total cost of a plan in which the United States, Russia, China, Japan, India and South Korea also participate. However, the commitment of public origin for nuclear fusion is not condensed only in Iter. And it is not limited only to the European Union. Not much less. Europe is pointing Very important scientific milestonesbut there are other countries that are also being very high, and that, precisely, do not move in the orbit of the West. In fact, two of them, probably the most outstanding, are China and South Korea. The Chinese experimental reactor CFETR is extraordinarily promising China that, as we have seen, actively participates in Iter’s tuning, has been engaged in the development of an experimental nuclear fusion reactor for several years at least as ambitious as the latter. It’s called CFETR (Chinese Fusion Engineering Testing Reactor), A denomination that we can translate as a test reactor for Chinese fusion engineering. The engineers of the country led by Xi Jinping completed their conceptual design in 2015 taking as a starting point the Chinese fusion reactors East, HL-2a (M) and J-Text. The experts of the commission that certifies nuclear facilities have approved the first section of the vacuum chamber CFETR has much in common with Iter. In fact, it aspires to complement the machine that is being built in the French town of Cadarache, and, at the same time, it is nourished by the knowledge generated during the design and development of Iter. Anyway The construction of the CFETR reactor It is already underway. And advances at a very good pace. In fact, just two days ago the experts of the Chinese commission that certifies the nuclear facilities gave the final approval to the first section of the reactor vacuum chamber. This is the gigantic component that we can see in the cover photography of this article. The CFETR reactor vacuum chamber will consist of seven other sections such as this, will have a height of 20 meters and will be made of stainless steel of very low carbon content. Inside, fusion reactions between the deuterium and tritium nuclei will occur that will be magnetically confined in a plasma that will exceed 100 million degrees Celsius. The most interesting thing is that this machine will operate in two phases. During the first of them, he will prove that he is able to generate up to 200 MW of energy, as well as sustain a tritium production ratio greater than 1. This simply means that will produce more tritio than consumeso he will be able to self -abuse from this radioactive hydrogen isotope. During the second phase of operation, the CFETR reactor will pursue more than 1 GW of power, so it will become a demonstration machine that, if everything goes well, will be happened by the first commercial fusion energy plants.

In China they are preparing their children for the future. The next course will begin to give a subject of AI

by

Students are about to learn artificial intelligence. Not by themselves (which also), but as part of the educational program. Beijing has declared the implementation of an initiative that will be dedicated to the children of primary, secondary and baccalaureate will form in this area. Eight hours a year. According to the official statement“From the autumn semester of 2025, all the primary and secondary schools of Beijing will provide general education in artificial intelligence, with a minimum of eight annual teaching hours. The courses may be independent or integrate into subjects such as information technology, sciences and practical activities. Innovative teaching approaches will be adopted, including the use of artificial intelligence assistants and project -based learning assistants interactive “. They seem few, but it may be just the beginning. The truth is that eight hours dedicated to AI seem few in a whole course, but it is a minimum that of course can grow. Moreover, in that statement it is indicated that “a mechanism of collaboration between universities, companies and secondary schools will be established to form exceptional talent students in artificial intelligence.” And training for teachers. Of course, teachers will be needed to teach these classes, and therefore in Beijing “teachers from different disciplines such as computer science, mathematics and technology will be trained to teach education in AI.” Impulse for education. The Deepseek phenomenon seems to have given wings to the initiatives aimed at winning the AI ​​career. Schools may launch these courses as an additional subject or as part of other subjects related to technology. AI everywhere. As they point out In Bloombergthis initiative is part of that effort of the Chinese government to ensure that AI infiltrates in various levels. Last week, for example, the Government Congress support The application of large language models and the development of a new generation of manufacturing equipment with integrated. Estonia has already taken a similar step. Other countries have already announced initiatives in this regard. Estonia He became In the first country in the world to integrate the Chatgpt.edu service in its national education system. As of September 1, 2025, 20,000 high school students and 3,000 teachers will have free access to these tools. It will be interesting to see if other countries end up making similar movements. Of course, this is an interesting long -term commitment. Image | David Wooo In Xataka | China has declared the war on private school: why he predicted the prolific “tutorials”

Manus is the new sensation of China after Deepseek. Is generating as many expectations as doubts

by

Last week voices began to hear in the AI ​​segment. We theoretically had a new Deepseek phenomenon. It was Manusa theoretical AI agent who raised especially striking options. However, in social networks there have been doubts and suspicions about the real capacity of this model. The unknown about its real value is there. Manus is not an AI agent. Those responsible on its official website is “a general agent who connects ideas with actions: not only thinks, delivers results.” It is actually more a “deep research” mode – like the ‘Deep Research’ of OpenAi – about the data that we give. Thus, Manus is theoretically capable of creating you a detailed 7 -day travel plan by Japanhelp you perform a deep analysis of the Value of Tesla’s actionscreate for you a presentation for a class on the conservation law of the momentFor example. Expectations in style. One of the product managers in Hugging Face He described it as “the most impressive tool I have ever tried.” His Official Discord server He has attracted almost 170,000 users since his creation a week ago. The expectation is remarkable, but as they explain In TechCrunchthere are doubts about their true capacity. Manus is based on Claude and Qwen. There are users who They have already indicated that manus seems not to have been created from zero, and apparently it is Totally based in varied models such as Claude 3.7 and Qwen (Alibaba). One of his co -founders, Yichao “Peak” Yi, confirmed that are in effect based on other products and they are a layer that relies on these models. In the presentation video Yichao stressed that In some benchmarks Manus was superior to Deep Research already OperatorOpenai products. It is? Errors and inconsistencies. Some experts such as Alexander Doria, co -founder of the startup of the Pleias, have indicated that manus makes mistakes and infinite loops When using it. Others point out how Make mistakes With questions with clear answers and Do not cite sources consistently. Beta by invitation. For now it is not possible to access manus options, and it is only possible to use it if any other user invites you.
