Apple Intelligence needed a Chinese partner and has already found it, according to ‘The Information’. The key is qwen

Apple needs a local partner to offer Apple Intelligence in China, where regulations demand that AI services pass through national companies. We knew that Apple had been looking for the ideal partner for some time, according to The Informationhe has found it in Alibaba. Why is it important. The absence of Apple Intelligence in China has weighed iPhone sales in the largest smartphones market in the world. The agreement could reverse this trend just when Apple plans to launch its AI in simplified Chinese in April, the same month in which It will arrive in Spanish. In Xataka Apple’s metamorphosis: from the minimalist catalog to calculated maximalism What has happened. Apple and Alibaba have jointly presented their AI functions for approval by the Chinese regulator. The alliance comes after Apple will rule out collaborating with Baidu for not reaching the required standards. Between bambalins. Apple was also probing possible alliances with Bytedance, Tencent and Deepseek Before opting for Alibaba. The choice was based on the robustness of the model Qwen from Alibaba and its ability to process personalized data thanks to its experience in electronic commerce. Also, Ahem, in Your alignment with socialist values required by the Beijing government. The latest. Alibaba’s actions They have triggered 3.5% After the publication of the news and accumulates 8% in two days. The market trusts the fruit of this operation between both companies. Alibaba’s Qwen model has gained reputation in recent months. Its potential was demonstrated when Stanford scientists managed to train a new reasoning model for less than $ 50 using Qwen as a base. S1 marked a before and after for the model.

Chinese motorcycles are sweeping in Spain

There are many Chinese brands, both in cars and motorcycles. But Chinese brands that manufacture for European brands and that, in addition, improve the original product, there are not so many. In the world of motorcycles there are two Chinese companies making a tremendous noise: CF Moto and Voge. If you are inside the world, surely they sound to you. And, if not, you will have heard of BMW and KTM. They have a lot, a lot to do. The Voge case. Voge is a premium motorcycle brand created by Loncin, one of the largest Chinese manufacturers not only motorcycles, but also engines. Loncin Industries was founded in 1983, and is a Chinese industrial giant in its native country. This giant He has been collaborating with BMW since 2005year in which they closed an agreement to manufacture components and engines for the company. If you have some years on the back you will know the BMW F650 fs. His engine, from the 2007 model, was manufactured by Loncin in China. Always under the guides and standards of BMW, but in China and outside the German and Austrian factories (Rotax). Voge | BMW. With the passage of time, this agreement was renewed and resulted in that Loncin not only made for BMW, it could also benefit using technology and development of these engines developed together. The most popular example has been that of the VOGE 900 DSX, a motorcycle that shares engine and technology with the BMW F800 and F900S, both with the company’s bicylinder 859cc. These motorcycles are separated a few thousand euros, and more if we configure the GS with the VOGE equipment. The strategy of European manufacturers is to sell them the “peeled” motorcycle, the Chinese usually sell with the maximum equipment. Voge’s plans for 2026 are ambitious, they seek to expand in Europe, and their trail is already among the best selling in Spain. In other words: they have gone from manufacturing motors for BMW to compete with the Germans selling motorcycles with the same engine. The CF Moto case. With CF Moto, something relatively similar happens. This Chinese manufacturer was born in 1989 as a motorcycle producer, engines and other recreational vehicles. As of 2011, CF Moto began as an importer of KTM in some parts of the world, to later assemble some of its vehicles for the Chinese Meracdo. With the passage of time, in 2017, KTM and CF Moto established a joint venture. Interestingly, CF Moto has 51% of KTM shares, and KTM “only” 49%. Technically, KTM is more than CF Moto than KTM. Thanks to this alliance, both companies share technology, engineering and production lines. This has resulted in the best Moto Motos motorcycles use the same KTM engines, in even more refined versions to solve the classic endemic ills that dragged in the past. KTM benefits from the agreement by increasing its production capacity (basic models, such as the Duke of low displacement, are produced by CF Moto), and CF Moto benefits from KTM technology. The numbers in Spain. The 2024 registration top They are still taking companies like Honda, Yamaha and Kymco, although there begins to be hole for Chinese brands. Voge and Zontes have been the first to sneak into the Top 10, and will see what happens to CF Moto after the launch of its 450mt and its future 800 MT-X, direct rival of the KTM 790 Adventure.

Deepseek is not a passenger fashion. It is the future of AI for Chinese mobiles

Apple has been the first company to ally with OpenAi for introduce chatgpt as a complement to your own assistantSiri. Samsung has done the same with Gemini, which He works in the pair with Bixby at his ultra galaxy s25and manufacturers as honor have also op Magic7 Pro Honor. In Europe, we seem to be clear that Chatgpt and Gemini will be the two key solutions to enhance phones through AI. But in China they have a new ally. One that we have known for just a few weeks and that already has integration plans with some of the main Chinese manufacturers. Yes, we talk about Deepseek. Honor will open the ban. Honor has officially announced Deepseek’s integration into its assistant yoyo. Although this function, at least in Spain, is not too popular, is important for the company. Yoyo is the smart wizard in the honor ROM, and users in China will be able to use Deepseek within it. What will be able to do? Improve Yoyo capabilities when processing natural language, as well as its logical reasoning and contextual compression. It is already available on all honor phones with Magicos 8.0 or posterior, and just update to version 80.0.1.503 to be able to use it. At the moment, only in China. Nubia climbs into the car. Nor Fei, president of Nubia, has also announced Through Weibo The future integration of Deepseek into its phones. The company is already testing it in its Nubia Z70 Ultrawith plans to integrate it into the system deeply. They clarify that they do not want to create a mere access to direct to the chatbot, but adapt it within the system and get it completely in the operating system. In this case, there is no announced date. A much faster integration. Deepseek has been accessible to the public for less than a month. Chatgpt has been with us for more than two years. It impacts the speed with which Chinese manufacturers are hugging Deepseek, a national alternative to OpenAi AI, and whose data control “remains at home.” While Chatgpt raised as the reference AI, Android is still from Google, and the company is fighting for Gemini to be the model to be implemented. With honor and cloudy climbing to the ship in China, it is plausible to think about future integrations with more manufacturers. Now, the doubt is whether Deepseek will remain as an alternative only for the models with Chinese ROM, or if it will end up doing the competition to Chatgpt and Gemini in the European Roms framework itself. The nervousness of the big surprise with this China is clear: There are governments trying to veto it at all costs.

This Chinese fantasy film is destroying records in his country and has already advanced Marvel in more than one milestone

‘Ne zha 2’ is sweeping. Maybe you have not been able to talk about this animated Chinese production (the first installment was titled ‘Nezha: the rebirth of a god’ and You can see it in Netflix), but it reached Chinese cinemas taking advantage of The celebration of the Chinese New Year, the most profitable and coveted day for the premieresand in 5 days he kneaded 435 million dollars. To get an idea of ​​how much that can be, ‘Avengers: Endgame’ added something less, 427 million, in its first five days in US cinemas. If you continue on this path (And you are following: In its first week, it has reached 671 million), it has another even more spectacular milestone to exceed: become the first feature film that exceeds 1,000 million dollars of collection in a single country. Again, Disney shadows him with ‘Star Wars: the awakening of force’, which raised 936 million in the United States. It is the one that shows the greatest brand so far. Finally, ‘Ne zha 2’ has another record to overcome, and everything indicates that he will: be the first Chinese film to exceed one billion collection. ‘The battle of Lake Changjin‘He stayed at the doors, with 913 million at the box office. Finally, last milestone: ‘Ne zha 2 is about to advance to the first’ Nezha ‘, which became the first animated film that exceeded 700 million collection in a single territory. Many brands and many milestones, as can be seen, for a film that continues the argument of the first part and that remains starring Nezha, a protective deity that appears in the Buddhist, confucian and Taoist folklore. The argument of these animated films are based on a classic Chinese novel of the 16th century, which in turn has inspired other films in the country such as ‘New Gods: Nezha Reborn’. In Xataka | ‘Vaiana’ is already the greatest success in streaming history, and there is a clear responsible: the way of watching children’s films

Novo Energy wanted to stand up to Chinese batteries for electric cars. It has ended in the hands of a Chinese company

Point and apart for the soap opera of the Great European hope In the battery segment for electric cars. In the European assault on electric car industryVolvo and the Northvolt battery manufacturer founded Novo Energy. Both were Swedish and it was a Join Venture with the aim of producing batteries in Europe. It seemed that everything was going to be A ROSA pathbut a few years later and after thousands of layoffsNorthvolt sell His participation in Novo Energy A Volvo. And behind Volvo is Geelyan important Chinese holding. Culebrón. Things stopped going well for Northvolt practically from the beginning. During the first years, the European Investment Bank, BMW, Goldman Sachs or Volkswagen invested sums of hundreds of millions of euros in the company. The Swedish company, founded by two Exegutive of Tesla, became the great European promise to create batteries and be the heart of that European flying towards the electric car. In a market increasingly controlled by ChinaIt seemed like a great idea and everything pointed in good sense. In addition, together with Volvo they founded Novo Energy in 2021 to produce the batteries of both Volvo and Polestar. However, things began to twist in 2023, when it was uncovered that the company had been operating with losses of 1,000 million dollars during the first nine months of the year. And, in 2024, the situation exploded. Last nail in the coffin. Everything happened very fast. After the delays in the delivery dates, BMW canceled its agreement of 2,000 million euros, there were a series of employee deaths in work shifts, fired more than 1,600 workers in September and, shortly after, the bankruptcy arrived. In November 2024, Northvolt requested bankruptcy protectionarguing that they had 30 million in cash and, with them, they could only operate for a week. The hole they had was 5.8 billion dollars. A skinny dog, everything is fleas, and a day later one of the founders resigned, arguing that the company would need 1.2 billion dollars to save itself. After a few days of 2025 in which the company was still looking for financing, something that nobody seemed willing to do, sales arrived. It was even rumored that Catl, the main Chinese rival in battery manufacturing, I could give a hand. Volvo. After getting rid of some services, this January 29 we learned that the Swedish company sold its participation in Novo Energy to its partner in this adventure, Volvo. It is something that does not catch by surprise, since, as with BMW, Volvo saw that Northvolt’s delivery plans were not being fulfilled and in October last year he showed his interest in acquiring participation in Novo. Last week, Novo Energy advertisement which had to reduce its workforce by 30% due to “the changing market conditions and a modified business plan”. Northvolt wants to reduce everything possible and focus on its Swedish plant, but they have also signed an agreement with Volvo to explore joint collaboration paths in the future, so everything is not lost. China looks out to Europe. Therefore, Volvo will now be the one Novo Energy, we will see if alone or with partners, but the interesting thing about this operation is that, although Volvo is a Swedish company that is in the bag of his country, the matrix is ​​Geely, A Chinese holding. They are present in multitude of companies and sectors, with an important participation in Mercedes-Benz, Aston Martin or Lotus, as well as co-owners of smart, polestar and with a participation of more than 80% in Volvo. It is curious that Northvolt was born to stand up to the Chinese battery industry and that the Join Adventure That I had with Volvo to produce batteries in Europe, now, is controlled by a Chinese company, in the absence of seeing the resolution of the authorities. And all this, shortly after Tariffs imposed by Europe To the Chinese electric car.

The Chinese chatbot faces its first great challenge in Europe

Not everything is positive for Deepseek. Although the AI ​​company is receiving an avalanche of praise for its technological advances, it is also generating restlessness in terms of privacy and safety. In fact, this Thursday we are attending the first tangible consequence of this last scenario: Italy wants to block the Chinese chatbot web version. The Italian Data Protection Authority has ordered Limit the processing of Italian user data by Hangzhou Deepseek Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd. and Beijing Deepseek Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd. We are talking about the two Asian companies that control the application that has not stopped gaining popularity Since its launch. Deepseek, before the scrutiny of European regulators The press release of the aforementioned agency, entitled “Artificial Intelligence: the Italian Data Protection Authority Deepseek”, acknowledges that the AI ​​chatbot has been downloaded by millions of people In recent days, and points out that their measure seeks to preserve Italian users from the collection of data by it.

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

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.

What is special Depseek, the new Chinese artificial intelligence tool (and how differs from chatgpt or gemini)

Image source, Getty images January 28, 2025 Updated 7 hours Deepseek, the new Chinese artificial intelligence model (AI), has shaken the digital world, dazzling investors and sinking the actions of some technological companies, after jumping to the top of application downloads in Apple Store. It was launched on January 20 and quickly captivated computer science before attracting the attention of the entire technology and world industry. The president of the United States, Donald Trump, described the phenomenon as an “alarm call” for companies in that country that must concentrate on “compete to win.” What makes Deepseek so special is the statement of its creators that it was produced at a fraction of the cost of other models in the avant -garde of the industry such as the OpenAi chatgpt, because it uses less advanced technology chips. That possibility caused the giant of the production of Chips Nvidia to lose almost US $ 600,000 million of its market value this Monday, the fall in a more loud day in the history of the USA. Deepseek also generates doubts about Washington’s measures to contain Beijing’s impulse to achieve technological supremacy, which includes export restrictions of advanced chips to China. However, Beijing has redoubled its efforts with President Xi Jinping declaring AI as the main priority. And the new companies such as Deepseek are crucial as China turns a traditional manufacturing of clothing and furniture to advanced chips technology, electric cars and AI. Here we tell you what it is. What is Deepseek? In simple terms, Depseek is a chatbot enhanced by AI, like chatgpt. It is a free application that can be downloaded from the Apple Store store, where Depseek states that it is designed “to answer your questions and enhance your life efficiently.” But the AI ​​model that drives it – called R1 – has about 670,000 million parameters, which makes it the largest open source language model to date, according to Anil Ananthaswamy, author of WHY MACHINES LEARN: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI (“Why do the machines learn: the elegant mathematics behind the modern AI”). Image source, Getty images Photo foot, Hangzhou, where the Depseek operations center is located, also houses other Chinese technological giants such as Alibaba. It is said that it is as powerful as OPENAI’s O1 model, which enhances Chatgpt, in mathematics, coding and reasoning. It is also claimed that he is able to do all that in a much cheaper way; Its developers claim that building it cost $ 6 million, an austere budget compared to the billions invested by AI companies in the US. It is not clear how they got it. The founder of Deepseek supposedly stored advanced NVIDIA chips before his export to China was prohibited in September 2022. Experts believe that this provision, which some estimate in 50,000, allowed him to build such a powerful model when these chips with other cheaper and less sophisticated. How do you compare with chatgpt or gemini? Deepseek looks and feels like any other chatbot, although it leans more towards conversation. Like Openia or GEMINI Chatgpt of Google, you can open the application (or its website) and ask questions about anything, and the chat strives to give you an answer. Your answers are extensive, but you don’t issue an opinion even if you ask you directly by one. The chatbot usually begins by saying that the issue is “highly subjective” -it is politics (is Donald Trump a good president?) Or soft drinks (which one knows better, Pepsi or Coca -Cola?). He does not even commit to saying whether or not it is his rival Chatgpt, but he did a comparison of the pros and cons of both artificial intelligences. Chatgpt did exactly the same, using a similar language. Image source, Reuters Photo foot, Apparently and operation, Depseek is very similar to other rival chatbots. Deepseek indicates that it was trained with data until October 2023 and, although the app seems to have access to updated information, the web version does not have it. That is similar to the first versions of Chatgpt and is probably a similar protection attempt, to prevent chatbot from launching incorrect information to the web in real time. It can also respond quite fast, although it is currently a little stop under the load of so many users running to try it since it went viral. Chatgpt and Gemini tend to promote their subscription services, which can be around US $ 20 per month, for more detailed information, while Deepseek is free although more limited. Censorship of Taboo themes Where there is a palpable difference is in Depseek’s self -censorship when it comes to prohibited issues in China. Sometimes it starts an answer that then disappears from the screen and is replaced by a notice that says “let’s talk about something else.” The obvious taboo theme are the protests in the Tiananmen Plaza in 1989 that ended with the death of 200 civilians at the hands of the Army according to the Chinese government, but some media estimate that it resulted in a massacre of thousands. Like many other Chinese models of AI -Rernie de Baidu or Doubao by Bytedance- Deepseek is scheduled to evade politically sensitive questions. When the BBC asked the app what happened in Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989, Deepseek did not give detail some about that documented massacre. He replied: “I’m sorry, I can’t answer that question. I am an assistant to the designed to provide useful and harmless answers.” Photo foot, Deepseek evaded the question that BBC asked him about what happened in Tiananmen Square in 1989. For their part, their Chatgpt and Gemini rivals had no taps to expand in this regard. It is believed that one of the great challenges for the development of AI in China is the censorship of the government. But it seems that Depseek has been trained around an open source model, which allows you to perform complex tasks, while retaining certain information. Who is behind Depseek? Deepseek … Read more
