How to create your own photos based on photos using artificial intelligence

Let’s explain How to create your own photos based on photoswhether they are yours to look like you as photos of another person. To do so we will propose different tools of artificial intelligencebecause you have several possibilities. We are going to start the article explaining what you can do exactly and the things you should take into account for Choose the type of dollsome tips that you will be able to use in several tools. And then we will tell you how to do them with three of them. First, think about the design you want AI will be able to do All types of doll stylebut to have the best results you will have to specify what you want to use. And this requires an imagination exercise. You will be able to create Action dolls with your faceand you will also be able make a funko from your photo. These are two possibilities that we have already explored in Basics, but there are many more possibilities. You can ask you to make a Lego doll or a playmovil, it can be a stuffed animal, a Barbie, a troll doll. Basically, you will be able to ask the AI to turn your photo into a doll of any brand that looks recognizable. You will only have to tell him the brand, and then the AI will generate it. You can also make generic dollsyou can ask for a rag doll without more, or an action doll. They are totally valid styles, you can ask for dolls based on the materials you want to have, to be a rag doll or made with a sack, or even with fruits. You can also describe accessories In addition to the type of doll. You can ask for a box, you can Choose the text and colors of the boxthe accessories you want to include, everything. Do not be afraid to experiment, because the possibilities are endless. You must know the limitations You must take into account a couple of limitations with which you can find yourself. The first is that Not all AIs will have good results. There are some more advanced than others in matters such as the recognition of details of the faces in the photos, and that is why the results it offers can look more or less. In addition to this, Not all types of doll will look likeor at least not the first. Here, my recommendation is that if the first result does not convince you, try again, or to specify what you need to AI as an answer in the conversation. Besides, AI can refuse to make certain models of doll, because there may be copyright restrictions. In these cases, you can try not to explicitly mention the brand that is giving you problems, and give some detour describing the type of doll that is and how you want it. Mention the name without the brand, or mention the type of doll. Another limitation that you must take into account is that This function will be paid in many AI. We are going to mention the best free, but you should know that many others will require you to pay a subscription in exchange for allowing you to make creations based on photos. What to use to create your doll Here we are going to tell you The main ones you can use To create a doll from a photo. We are going to tell you in ready format, describing the results we have had with each of them so that values whether you are interested or not. Chatgpt: Chatgpt being the AI that carries the front in terms of creating based on photos that you send, and it is the best results long. However, in the free version the process can take a long time. Link: chatgpt.com Microsoft Copilot: COPILOT It is also able to offer very good results, since it is using the same technology as Chatgpt, but slightly modified. They are somewhat different results, but equally good. Link: Copilot.microsoft.com Grok: X’s AI can do something similar, but the results are quite bad. The doll’s image overlaps the photo. You will have to specify that the bottom is eliminated, and that only the resulting doll is left, but it will still mix it with a realistic background. In spite of that, in the end you have the possibility to do so. Link: Grok.com Google Gemini: We mention a Gemini for being another of the great generative, but for the moment It does not allow drawings based on photosneither dolls either. Link: Gemini.google.com IdeOGram: IdeOGram It also offers interesting results. Unfortunately you can only do it if you are a payment user, with the modality of 16 euros per month. Link: ideogram.ai Freepik: This model is a specialist in making compositions based on faces. However, it is also necessary to use your payment plan to create images using a photo as a reference. Link: Freepik.com Craiyon: This AI allows you to upload a photo and tell you to make it a specific doll. However, the results are bad. Link: Craiyon.com Turn your photo into a doll To convert a photo into a specific doll or a figure, you first have to attach the reference photo. When charged in the writing field, then you have to add a Prompt describing what you want. For example: I send you a photo, and I want you to create a doll of (model) that looks like the person who appears in it. This is one of the simplest and most basic prompt or commands to carry out the creation, and with it You will simply create a doll with the appearance you have asked. Chatgpt or the chosen AI should recognize the main features of the face, and create a doll that looks like. You can also enter a little more in detail, with a prompt similar to this: I reimagine this photo as a Funko figure inside … Read more

How to create a poster for an event with artificial intelligence

Let’s explain How to create the poster of an event wearing artificial intelligence. For this, we are going to tell you three different ways in which you can do it, in all of them using AI to help you with the designs and always based on what you have in mind. Before starting, we will remind you of several things that should be taken into account before putting you. Then, we will tell you how to do it with ia chats that generate images from text as Chatgpt, COPILOT, Gemini or similar ones. Then we will continue with another free AI specialized in images, and we will end with a more specific design tool. Before starting, some tips Before starting to design your poster, you must first think what type of design you want Use on your poster. You may want it to be casual, childish, you may want it more rocker for a festival, and so on. Think the type of image you want to include, design and even colors, because all this must take it into account when you start design. For this, it is also important think what is you directed forfor what type of event is the poster. This always influences the tonebecause a party is not the same as a business event. Another important thing is have the elements clear and defined What do you want them to appear on the poster. It’s not just a drawing and now, you need to say the name of the event, the address or time. You should also make sure to add all the information you want to reveal as if something or go in a certain way. In addition, you may need to add a logo of an institution in some cases. It all depends on the type of work for whatever. Never forget this: You should always check the result Before giving the design good. IA make mistakes, and you can meet poorly written words or letters, with drawings with defects or elements that make no sense. Do not be afraid of repeating the creation of design as many times as necessary until you give with the optimal result. And finally, keep in mind that It will clearly notice that it is made with artificial intelligenceand that can cause the rejection of some people. The results will not be as good as if you hire a professional, and it will not have a unique style. Create the poster with chatgpt and similar To create your poster for the event using a generative AI with drawing functions such as chatgpt and similar, you can use a Prompt or simple request, carefully describing what you want That appears. We have left this one: I need you to do the poster for a rock music festival. In the center of the poster draws a hand by making the gesture of the horns, with two bottom electric guitars. It has to be a heavy drawing, with red flames and clouds. In the upper part he writes “Xataka Rock” in capital letters, and in the lower one writes “Metal Festival” with normal letters. Below right writes in two lines the following: “July 19 at 7:00 p.m.”, and under “Where: Xataka Central Offices”. As you can see in the example, we have started specifying what we want and the purpose, and then We have described the drawing we want including details and even the style we want. Here, it is important that adapt the prompt to what you wantchanging things that we have put for which you need. Also notice that we have described later How and where do we want the text That appears on the poster. You can specify everything according to your needs, change dates and hours, and you can also mention the color or style with which you want the letters if necessary. Do not be afraid to make a very long requestin fact I recommend that you do it so that IA takes all the details. If you don’t like the result, You can include requests or corrections In response in the chat, indicating the changes you want to do. In this prompt you do not have to rewrite all of the above, because the AI will already take it into account as long as you are in the same conversation. Here, you can spend time on making all the necessary changes. You can also ask for a specific aspect ratio or size For the poster, indicating whether it is horizontal or vertical. You can from asking for a vertical A4 size to specify the specific dimensions. Besides, then you can Ask him to make you a PDF or a PNG file What can you download. Ideogram is also another option When creating images by AI, IdeOGram It is another very good alternative that you can also use for your poster. It is an AI dedicated exclusively to create imagesand you have several free credits to use from time to time. Here, simply describe what you want it to appear, giving all the details you can. One of the advantages of this tool is that You can specify elements such as concrete proportion What do you want me to have your image. When you see the resulting image, you will have other tools such as remixing it to make another from it, change the size and even use it as a reference or style to create another. You can also Use another image created in ideogram as a reference or styleboth yours and those of other people. And you can even add several images at the same time as style. After adding some, you can create a new image by writing the prompt you want, but the style and colors of the images selected for it will be used as a reference. Make your poster with Canva And finally, You can also use Canvaa tool that tries to make the most accessible professional design, and also … Read more

Ciudad Real will create the only Zbe in Spain where cars without DGT label are welcome

Classism It is one of the most repeated words among critics with low emissions (ZBE) areas that are mandatory in Spain since 2023 for all municipalities of more than 50,000 inhabitants. An obligation that arrived with many lagoons and from which Ciudad Real wants to take advantage of. 60,000 euros. “It is not an area for rich in which only those that have enough money to buy a 60,000 euros car, of zero emission, which would be the electric ones can be passed to certain areas of the city.” The words are from Francisco Cañizares, mayor of Ciudad Real, to The Ciudad Real Tribune. They expose one of the greatest criticisms that are being made to low emissions areas: they are venated spaces for older and cheap vehicles. And he emphasizes, “the majority of the population who lives in the center of the city does not have in their plans to change the car. You have to look for plans for these people.” The Quita and Pon Zbe. What Ciudad Real will create is, as explained in the local environment, a Zbe in which all cars are welcome. That is, there will be no discrimination due to DGT labelingwhich gives free way to circulate with a 1998 diesel car, to give a single example. The Zbe of Ciudad Real will be extended to all its central buds called Area for environmental pollution episodes (Zeca). This only imposes restrictions when high pollution episodes are detected. However, these restrictions will allow the passage of any car with label … and without it, provided that the vehicle without a label is part of the municipal vehicle register and is registered in the Zeca. Or if a resident of this area issues an authorization to pass this car without label. Who stays out? In practice, almost nobody. “Those who come from outside,” says the mayor who, yes, says that the days where high pollution episodes are detected are “a special situation of one day or two (every year).” With this, it means that only the cars registered outside the municipal employer, without label (gasoline before the year 2000 and diesel prior to 2006) and without authorization of a resident of the area, are the ones that cannot pass. Is it legal? Yes, it is totally legal. The obligation to create a ZBE in all municipalities of more than 50,000 inhabitants arrived with Important lagoons. The only requirement to meet is that air quality is improved But the City Council was not forced to apply concrete restrictions. In Ciudad Real they defend that pedestrianizing some streets in what they call Healthy Real Ciudad Zone (ZCRS) It is sufficient to reduce Nox emissions by 40% and those of CEO 10% face 2030. As read in the Guide delivered by the Government To the municipalities where examples of how to establish a low emissions area were set, this possibility was contemplated. However, The obligation Building a Zbe arrived without any sanction for those who did not comply. What has happened? Multitude of municipalities have refused To implement a ZBE because it is a very delicate issue among voters and, in some cases such as this Manchega city, it applies without a real impact on neighbors. Is not the only one. In fact, Ciudad Real is not the first city that, in practice, barely restricts the use of vehicles where the Zbe is applied. To give an example, In Bilbao (where it has been said that cars with badge will not access b) The ZBE only occupies two square kilometers and the B labels can circulate without problems. The only requirement is to park in a public parking, not on the street. In Sevillethe Zbe has taken to the island of La Cartuja instead of the city center, as usual. In this way, its affectation is minimal and, in addition, it is only active in a very specific schedule.

How to create custom birthday congratulation with artificial intelligence

Let’s explain How to create birthday greeting personalized using artificial intelligence. We are going to tell you in two ways, a simpler one in which you can customize the text and image that appears, and a little more advanced in which you can use a photograph for congratulation. In general, the first type of congratulations can be done with almost any conventional, such as Chatgpt, COPILOT, Gemini or another similar. For the second you need an AI capable of creating images from your photo, and for that, Chatgpt is the best. Create congratulations with AI What you have to do is simply go to an artificial intelligence system that can create images from text. Once you do, write a prompt or command in which you explicitly ask you to create a birthday greeting, and then you describe what you want it to appear in it. For example, you can write something like this: Create birthday greeting. In the image a cake with 43 candles appears. The text “Happy Birthday appears on it.” Below the text “Yúbal” appears. As you can see, first in the prompt we have indicated that it is a birthday greeting, so that it has a context. Then we describe what we want it to appear, like the cake. Besides, We indicate that we want to add textand the AI ​​will add what we say to the image. Here, You can change all the details you want and make a totally personalized image. You can choose the wallpaper, any detail you want to appear in the drawing. Your imagination is the only limit. A congratulation using a photo You can also create a congratulation from a photo, making a cartoon with artificial intelligence. To do this, the best tool is chatgpt. First attach a photo of the person you want, and then write the type of image and congratulations you want to create. You can use a prompt like this: I reimagine this photo, and make a cartoon that looks like this person as much as possible. Confeti add, put a cake in front and a head celebration hat. Above the image writes: Happy birthday. Here, we first asked to reimagine the photo, making it a cartoon. Remember specify that as much as possible itso that Chatgpt tries to make a very similar cartoon. Then, start specifying the details you want them to appear.

All this to make the most personalized as possible. In Xataka Basics | 22 useful and not so well -known free artificial intelligence tools

Cantabria wants more visitors in the Cabárceno Park. So you will create a large alpine slide to travel at 40 km/h

He Cabárceno Parkin Cantabria, he is famous for his animal reserves and having reached a curious World milestone: Become a reference in the captivity of African elephants. Now those responsible want the enclosure to be known for something else, a spectacular Alpine slide of 1.2 kilometers in which speeds of 40 km/h will be reached. At the moment we only have the plans Included in your technical report, but they are enough to open the appetite. What is your goal? That the park is more attractive and capture more visitors. Two words: Alpine Tobogán. He Cabárceno Parka half -way space between the traditional zoo and an enclosure to safaris nestled in the middle of Santander region, wants to become more attractive. And he wants to do it big, with a claim designed for the most adventurous: a Alpine slide. Also known as “Alpine Coaster”the alpine slides are neither more nor less than rail circuits designed so that visitors can slide through them aboard sled taking advantage of the slope of the mountains. In Andorra they have a very popular one: The Tobotroncwith a route of more than five kilometers. Trips at 40 km/h. The alpine slide that Cantabria wants to build may not reach the size of Tobotronc or The one of Hydersin Austria, where they have built another similar structure of almost three kilometers and a slope of 640 meters, but will be equally fascinating. According to He has revealed The autonomous government will measure 1.2 km (330 m of climb and 854 of descent) and those who rise to it can reach 40 km/h, although it will be the users themselves who regulate the march. 360 degree sleds and curls. They are not the only data that has transcended the project, promoted by the public company Cantur. The Cantabria Government has revealed that the infrastructure will have 25 sleds with capacity for two people who will save a level of 75 my will advance in a journey in Zigzag, with curves and two loopings of 360º. Nor is it necessary to imagine it. The Executive has published the Basic projectin which his future layout appears. Autumn of 2025? The project itself is not new. In October, the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sports of the Region, Luis Martínez Abad, He already spoke of him in Parliament, where he broke out some characteristics of the future slide. As he said then, the investment to carry out the structure would reach 1.5 million euros and the idea was that it was already operational in the autumn of 2025. The Montañés newspaper reveals Now that in the technical document an investment of three million euros, VAT included. It also seems difficult for the structure to be ready before 2026. That does not mean that the initiative is stopped. On the contrary. Yeah It has been news These days it is because the Government of Cantabria has just released the construction project. During the next few days anyone interested in the project can consult in The web of the General Directorate of Urbanism the plans and calculations of the future slide and, in case it creates it necessary, to present allegations. Aerial view of the area where the “Alpine Coaster” will be installed. Objective: Diversify. In October, during his speech at the Plenary of Parliament, Martínez Abad He claimed That the future Alpine slide “is not a whim, but an opportunity.” Now the government insists on the same idea: its purpose is to reinforce the attractiveness of the park to visit more people throughout the year. “The objective of this infrastructure is reason the Minister of Tourism. In 2023 the enclosure received more than 650,000 visitors, but that figure actually hides two major challenges. The first is that most of those visits They concentrated During a very concrete time of the year, during Holy Week and the summer months. The second challenge is that the enclosure is difficult to awaken the interest of the youngest population. The idea, The Cantabrian Government emphasizesis to attract people between 14 and 24 years old, which “less interest shows” now in the park. Wink. The slide will be located in an area close to the northern entrance of Obregón, “in a field not used of the installation,” Clarifies the Regional Executivewhich remembers that when planning the layout, a part of the park away from the animals has been sought (in Cabárceno, zebras, camels or Elephantsamong many other species), with trees and an adequate slope. The technicians have also wanted to launch a wink to the mining past in the region. “The project is developed in a unique environment of the vicinity of the local good of the old facilities of the Cabárceno Hierra Mineso it contemplates integrating the necessary infrastructure into the landscape environment, using cut steel, treated wood or glass to offer an external appearance similar to mining facilities ” Clarify. Among other things, those who climb to the sleds may contemplate the mining vestiges of caul.

Many times art is inexplicable, and a retiree from Malaga uses the most illogical tool to create it: Excel

Explain what art is as complicated as sometimes get the weather forecast. Few things are more subjective and, while for many a banana is a simple fruit, for others it is a work that costs 6.2 million dollars. But within that subjectivity, reflecting reality in a painting is one of the most “accepted” ways to create art. What if that painting is done not with Photoshopbut in Microsoft Excel? That is precisely, with what Jesús Villanueva enjoys. No tutorials. “Normal,” you may think, since who would have occurred. Well let me tell you … it’s not so weird. We are going to see it throughout this pictorial trip with such a boring program (and useful) as Microsoft Excel. The program, which has almost 40 years behind himit was launched as a system of exclusive spreadsheets for Mac In 1985 and its bases have not changed: it is still a calculation program. However, each version became more powerful and versatile. In it Microsoft blog We found the story of Jesús Villanueva, 78, who entertains himself not playing ‘Skyrim‘, doing Streaming of ‘Leage of Legends‘ either Catching Pokémon: It entertains with Excel. He studied a construction eyeliner course and is what has been dedicated, but after retirement and pandemic of the COVID-19something changed Miguel Ángel del Excel. With free time (because you have to have it to create such works), Jesus began using Excel as canvas. “I never found a tutorial to explain how to do it. It has been trial after proof, drawing after drawing,” he says. He began recreating buildings in a format without perspective, but as he learned to master the tool, he went to more complex compositions. Image | Jesús Villanueva Image | Jesús Villanueva The most impressive thing is that it is not dedicated to borrowing external resources or hitting images, but to draw with colors directly in the grid, combining complex and simple shapes to give life to your idea. It is based on photographs, yes, but draw all forms manually in the application. Your secret? “Everything is a matter of patience, even in works that can take up to three months, such as the Siena cathedral.” Other religious buildings in its porpholio are the Mosque of Córdoba or the Cathedral of Florence, for which he had to draw the little characters large and then reduce their size to be able to embed them on the general image. The “Insert Forms” brush. That is the basic tool for Jesus. Choose a figure, calculate the proportions to case in a reference image and there begins to adapt, color and combine with others to give life to the object you want. When he has it, he unites it to the rest and the scene is formed. He also plays with vector strokes and the change of scale of elements. Image | Jesús Villanueva Japanese landscaping. In it Instagram of Jesus You can see his work, but he is not the only passionate of this particular brush. Tatsuo Horiuchi, an 84 -year -old Japanese man, also decided to unleash his particular vision of art when he retired. He says he took 10 years to create something that he felt that he could proudly teach people, but also that there were people who did not understand their hobby or that they laughed at it. “Why do you put so much effort on something that is not useful? Are you crazy?” “Well yes,” he replies in a video in which we can see part of his collection. Excel has a lot of life. Horiuchi gives a very important key. “I think, even if you don’t have talent for painting, you can paint something whenever you have Excel.” And this is interesting because there are people – as I – who are denied to paint even if he would like, and with a grid, it may be easier to start drawing. In any way, it is always curious to see that Excel is not just the tool in which Sustains the world economy and even formula 1 equipment: Excel too It can be a sport. And to gamify a tool as boring as it has all my respects. In Xataka | Thousands of people have been living from art for three years. Ireland pays them 1,300 euros per month to fulfill their dream

Huawei states that he is staying behind the chips. It is just what we want us to create

Huawei doesn’t like to get attention. He doesn’t want headlines. It is not generating too many and since 2019 The US veto and google occur The company has adopted a low profile and a shy, silent narrative. But as long as he does, Huawei does not stop growing and consolidating his role as one of the most important technology companies in the world. The silent leader. Ren Zhengfei (Anshun, 1944) founded Huawei in 1987 and is not only the company’s CEO: he is considered a spiritual leader. He doesn’t see it like that and affirms which is rather “a puppet leader (…). It only develops a symbolic role, like an idol of cement in a temple. Without it the temple would seem empty, but in reality the idol does nothing … that I am in Huawei or in Huawei has no real impact.” Who wants to be forgotten. Despite its absolute relevance, whether symbolic or not, Zhengfei has no intention of being in the foreground. His hope is in fact end up being forgotten. “I am just an old man. What is the point of reminding me? People should think more about the future and the world. My greatest desire is to have a coffee in a cafeteria without anyone noticing.” Zhengfei is known for his reserved and discreet character, and has transferred that way of being to his company. “Our chips are a generation behind the US”. The phrase is from the aforementioned Ren Zhengfei, which In an interview In the Chinese state media People’s Daily talked about his latest advances in semiconductors. There the head of this giant explained that the sanctions that prevent Huawei from obtaining or manufacturing state -of -the -art chips cause that “our chip continues a generation behind the US.” Better not believe it much. Huawei is Property of your employees And he has ties with the Popular Chinese Liberation Army, the country’s armed forces, of which Ren Zhengfei was part for several years. The commercial war has caused the company to adopt a very discreet profile, and REN’s comment on the state of its chips is possibly a strategy not to attract attention. Because although there may still be differences with the advances of the US, the Chinese giant does not stop expanding. For all without being noticed. I explained it William Huo, an expert who explained in China how Huawei is currently 25,000 million dollars a year on R&D. One of the results of these investments have been New Ascend chips for ia that has not been designed to overcome Nvidia chips, but to climb big. And there is a blunt example. Source: Semiianalysis Cloudmatrix 384. Huawei chips may not be so powerful, but their clusters are. It is demonstrated by the cloudmatrix 384, direct competitor of the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72. This monster has 384 GPUS Ascend 910C connected through an optical network that allows an interconnection at speeds much larger than those offered by copper cables of the Nvidia cluster. But it is also a complete cloudmatrix 384 system, as indicated in Semiianalysisoffer up to 300 flops (in BF16 accuracy) of computing, almost double what the NVL72 GB200 of NVIDIA offers. Not only that: it has the memory capacity 3.6 times and 2.1x times the memory bandwidth. The Huawei machine is an absolute beast, no matter how much its chips “are a generation behind” – which is debatable. The confusion. A few weeks ago there was talk of how the new laptop Huawei Matebook fold Huawei would be based on the promising Kirin X90 chip. That soc, manufactured by SMICit seemed to be manufactured with 5 Nm photolithographic node, but that was difficult. Especially since SMIC – La Foundry China that Try to follow the steps A TSMC or Samsung – has no access extreme ultraviolet photolithography equipment asml. How was I going to achieve it then? China advances in semiconductors. SMIC (semiconductor manufacturing international corp) is the largest Chinese semiconductor manufacturer, and has a quota of about 5% In the world market. The US veto has caused this manufacturer to have access to EUV equipment, but Some rumors They pointed to what He had achieved A 5 NM node with deep ultraviolet technology (UVP). It is not so, and new data reveal that the X90 does not use a node of 5 nm (N+3) but the already known 7 Nm (N+2) As it happened with the Kirin 9020. Be careful, because in SMIC they are working on their own lithography of 5 nm, and they seem be close to achieving it. And beyond, of course, The 3 nm. A wolf with lamb skin. Huawei does not usually generate headlines, but it seems just what he is looking for. And meanwhile, as Huo states, he manages to buy time in which the industry does not look so much in it. And meanwhile, scale without rest. But as this analyst says, not to pursue quarterly benefits, but to endure.

The EU is looking for where to create its own GigaFactories of AI. Tarragona has become the great Spanish bet

Spain wants to have A gigafactoría de iaand has presented his candidate: a town in Tarragona. Specifically, Morá la Nova, who wants to become one of the headquarters of that great European project. The proposal has been presented by a business consortium led by Telefónica and promoted by the Government of Spain in cooperation with the Generalitat of Catalonia. Spain wants to be a reference point In this new golde of technology. Why Tarragona. The candidacy responds to strategic reasons: that enclave would be close to the AI ​​factory driven By Barcelona Supercomputing Center – National Supercomputing Center (BSC -CNS), one of the great European nodes in high performance computing. The location also brings together conditions such as the availability of the land and the necessary electrical power. 5,000 million euros. Moncloa sources They point In the country to be chosen, the investment for this project would reach 5,000 million euros and would come from both public and private sources. It is a notable amount that allows the EU requirements to be met to create these “AI gigafactories.” What is a gigafactoría de ia. In February the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyden, advertisement The investing project. The idea, mobilize 200,000 million euros at AI, including a fund of 20,000 million for gigafactories. Or what is the same, large data centers with about 100,000 last -generation AI chips. They are even more ambitious projects than those that are already underway with the factories (without “giga”) that the EU has already promoted a few months ago. European AI data centers. The European initiative began with the implementation of Seven AI factories which were announced in December. These are somewhat more modest facilities that remain relevant. Among them was the BSC-CNS, which will have a data center in which the EU investment will be about 200 million euros. It is now expected that five other megaprojects will be announced that, yes, will have much greater investment and will have a capacity up to four times greater. Who is behind the Spanish project. The candidacy of Tarragona is endorsed by the Government, the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the Generalitat, but also by a group of companies led by Telefónica. Companies such as ACS, Masorange, Nvida, Submer, Multivrse Computing and the Spanish Society for Technological Transformation (SETT) have already confirmed their participation. Deadlines. After the selection of the headquarters, the gigafactories will have to be operational between 2027 and 2028. They will be able to access community financing and those projects between 3,000 and 5,000 million euros will receive up to 35% of the investment of public funds. Back seems to have remained Search for more efficient projects that were debated after the appearance of Deepseek. Will they compete with the big data centers of the Big Tech? It is interesting to point out that a Gigafactoría de ia as the one raised in Tarragona is on the promising role in computing capacity. In fact, Meta announced in December A similar project In the US with an investment of 10,000 million dollars. Colossus, the AI ​​Data Center that XAI launched at the end of 2024, uses 100,000 NVIDIA GPUS, has a power of 150 MW. It is estimated That each MW of power in data centers has a cost of between 7 and 12 million dollars.

create a shorter airspace

China with drones is an obsession that comes from afar. They have used them in Night showsthey have created giant QR codes in heaven To promote a video game, such as Vigilantes during pandemicso that Selectivity students do not copy or as allies to drought. Until Chinese mafia has found use. China really likes drones, it is clear. They have been making them non -stop and they want to continue finding new uses. Your last idea: create an economy that works in a air space below 1,000 meters altitude. Drones for everything. In addition to the uses that we have already mentioned, drones are used in China for many more things. In the industry, most are focused on the agriculture sector, where they are used to fumigate and fertilize large crops. They also use drones to fight natural disasters and security. In cities, especially in Shenzhen, you can see drones watching the streets, delivering food orders or even transporting blood between hospitals. According to the Civil Aviation Administration of ChinaAt the end of 2024 there were more than 2.2 million registered drones, there is nothing. Low altitude economy. The Chinese government has been promoting the drone industry through subsidies and incentives with the aim of continuing to lead the market. They count on Financial Times How are they promoting a new concept, what they call “low altitude economy“With drones as a growth engine. The idea is to exploit new commercials that operate in a lower airspace and fill the cities of drones as is happening with Shenzhen. In the near future, perhaps also of Taxis and flying cars. A lot of potential. Although until recently a concept was rather, the Chinese government is very serious with the creation of this new aerial economy. It is clear that they see potential in this new market, they even have the ‘Low-Altitude Economy Development Division’created at the end of 2024 with the aim of supervising the growth of the sector. They expect the sector to multiply their growth and reach 490,000 million dollars in 2035. A market where they are already leaders. According to data from Drone Industry Insights China manufactures 80% of commercial drones, with DJI being the most selling brand worldwide and reference in the sector. In addition, they also go to the development of new technologies and, of all patents related to drones that were recorded in 2024, A overwhelming 79% were from Chinese companies. However, outside China, this leadership has described as global security problem After Chinese drones, including DJI, were Used in the Ukraine War.
