In China a chips designer for the growing like foam. The surprising thing is that it is not about Huawei or Moore Threads

by

Cambricon Technologies is an essential company in China’s plans to dispute its leadership in the US artificial intelligence (AI). Although it is not as well known as Huawei or Moore Threads, this is one of the companies specialized in the design of GPU for AI With greater growth potential. In fact, he has received the approval of the Shanghai bag (China) to raise 560 million dollars. Will allocate them to the design of four chips for training and inference of AI models, and also to the development of an alternative to CUDAfrom Nvidia. To this company everything seems to be going well. And is that during the last twelve months The value of its actions has tripled. The strategic role of AI for China in its technological and commercial war with the US supports Chinese companies dedicated to the hardware design for AI and the development of large language models. However, there is more to promise to boost the business in the short and medium term not only of Cambricon Technologies, but also that of the other Chinese companies that design integrated circuits for ia. As we explained yesterday, the Chinese government has decided to force data centers that belong to the State throughout the country To use at least 50% of Chinese integrated circuits on their servers. A priori is one of the most effective strategies when promoting innovation and minimize China’s dependence of technologies from abroad. And in all likelihood this measure will be supported by others in the future that will try to encourage the use of Chinese chips in all data centers in the country. Public and private. Huawei and Moore Threads complete a very valuable trio for China Moore Threads appears since October 2023 in the blacklist prepared by the US government. This is one of the Chinese organizations that are dedicated to the production of hardware for which companies aligned with the interests of the US and their allies cannot sell software or advanced equipment. Although it is very young (it was founded in 2020) it has something very important in its favor: its founder is Zhang Jianzhong, former general manager of the Nvidia subsidiary in China, so it is evident that he knows well what he has in hand. Moore Threads appears since October 2023 in the blacklist prepared by the US government Moore Threads has developed several GPU for AI applications that, on paper, rival some of the advanced solutions that have placed in the Nvidia, AMD or Huawei market. MTT S4000 and MTT S3000 cards are Your most interesting proposals Right now, although, curiously, in its porpholio the MTT S80 card, a proposal for games and content creation that, according to Moore Threads herself, has a calculation capacity of 14.4 Tflops in Simple precision floating coma operations. Currently this company does not have the ability to compete with Nvidia outside China, but its future looks very interesting. And is that has received During the last four years a total investment of about 800 million dollars from more than two dozen investors. Among them are Chinese technology companies bytedance and Tencent. The other indispensable actor in the Chinese chips industry for IA is Huawei. His most ambitious proposal right now is the chip Ascend 910dwho seeks to overcome the performance of the GPU NVIDIA H100. However, this Chinese company has also recently presented its chip Ascend 920a solution that is clearly destined to occupy in the Chinese market The gaps that the NVIDIA H20 GPU is going to leave. This proposal will enter large -scale production during the second half of 2025 using 6 NM integration technology that have presumably developed elbow with Huawei elbow and SMIC (Semiconductor manufacturing international corp).

The designer company who marked an era in Cupertino will buy

by

For years, Apple was synonymous with boldness. He made quick decisions, broke conventions and challenged the entire industry. Now Apple has become a Big Tech that moves much more caution, but some see an echo of that attitude today in OpenAi. Now, in a way, the firm of the led by Sam Altman is connecting even more to the roots of the Cupertino company. OpenAI He has just announced An agreement to acquire IO, the Startup of devices co -founded by Jony Ive, in an operation valued at almost 6.5 billion dollars. According to Bloombergthe agreement is completely structured in shares: 5,000 million dollars correspond to the purchase of 77 % of the company, and the rest comes from an earlier investment of 23 % that Openai made in 2024. A designer who scored an era in Apple. Jony Ive was not one more designer. He joined Apple in 1992 and, together with Steve Jobs, helped shape a generation of iconic products: the IMAC, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad, the Apple Watch … even the controversy Magic Mouse with its load port at the bottom. His aesthetic vision defined Apple’s design language for decades. After leaving the company in 2019, IVE founded the Lovefrom creative study. And a year ago, IO with Scott Cannon, Evans Hankey and Tang Tan, three key figures in Apple’s products. The IO team brings together more than 50 experts in hardware, software and manufacturing processes, many of which have worked together for years. Now they will be integrated into Openai. OpenAi is thrown at the hardware with an ambitious vision. Until now, Openai has been a software -centered company. Chatgpt and its language models, such as GPT-4O, are virtual tools. Some of them have been made up of other companies in tangible products, such as Microsoft’s co -pilot, but OpenAi had not directly approached the creation of devices. That is about to change. According to a letter published by Altman And IVE on the official OpenAI website, the collaboration between both parties began two years ago, discreetly and motivated by “friendship, curiosity and shared values.” From those first conversations, ideas and prototypes arose that, little by little, took shape. The objective, they say, is to create a new family of products “that inspire, empower and train.” What can we expect now? Although concrete details have not been shared, the first device is expected to be the result of this union to see the light in 2026. In statements collected by Bloomberg, IVE has indicated that consumer technology has not been really new, and that people are looking exactly that. The IO team will continue to operate from its offices in Jackson Square (San Francisco), but already collaborates closely with Openai engineers and designers. Lovefrom, on the other hand, will assume new responsibilities in design and product experience for both software and future devices. A path with obstacles (and recent learning). Openai’s jump to hardware does not arrive in an empty context. In recent months, other IA -promoted devices projects have failed loudly, such as the Human Ai Pin or Rabbit R1. The operation must still be approved by regulators and will be completed foreseeably this summer. From there, the challenge begins: demonstrate that Openai can also mark a before and after in the hardware field. The wait will be worth it, “Altman told the aforementioned American media.” It’s an ambitious and crazy idea. “ Images | OpenAI (1, 2) | Apple | Colin Davis In Xataka | The latest Google event makes clear what the true future of accessories is: glasses connected with Android XR

A study reveals which technological profile will be the most sought after and best paid in 2025: interface designer

Choosing the right career at the right time can be the key to building a successful, well-paying career. Like every January, the employment platform Adecco presents its Adecco IT & Digital Salary Guidewhich analyzes the technological professions with the greatest demand forecast and, more importantly, with the best remuneration for non-managerial positions. That is, salaries between 35,000 and 45,000 euros. A technological engine. According to data from the study, the technology sector in Spain is boomingand already contributes 24% to the national GDP, although this percentage also includes technological activities derived from the digitalization processes of other sectors such as agriculture, industry or the services sector. Adecco assures that the IT sector has generated 26,267 new affiliates in the last year, and the professionals with technological profiles They are the most demanded by companies, ranking among the top five in autonomous communities such as Andalusia or Catalonia. UX Designers, the most in demand. The Adecco study points out the rise in demand for specialized professionals in the design of digital interfaces or UX/UI Designers. This profile is responsible for designing the way in which users should interact correctly with digital products, whether web pages, application interfaces and even the use menus of digital kiosks or sales terminals. Adecco also highlights the high demand that Customer Experience Specialist profiles, SEO/SEM experts, Social CRM Managers or Traffickers who are in charge of planning online advertising campaigns will have. And the best paid. In the salary estimate that Adecco makes in its study, two business scenarios are considered depending on whether you are going to work in a large multinational company or in an SME, and it classifies it into three scales conditioned on experience in the sector in ranges of three. , five or more than 10 years. A user interface designer with more than 10 years of experience is estimated to have an annual salary of around 49,000 euros gross if he works in a multinational, and 45,000 euros per year if he works in an SME. The place of residence matters a lot. Something that the salary ranges estimated by Adecco show is that the salary amount is not only influenced by working for a large multinational company or an SME, there is also a large salary gap depending on the autonomous community in which the job offer is created. We have already mentioned that a UX/UI designer can charge between 40,000 and 49,000 euros per year depending on the type of company. That would be if the job were in Barcelona. In Madrid, the same position would lower its salary range to between 35,000 and 40,000 euros, while, in Murcia, the salary for that position would plummet to a range of between 25,000 and 20,000 euros. A substantial difference for the same professional profile. Web designer, in an SME and in Murcia. The worst salary option in the table is found in the salary profile of web designers who are going to work in an SME in Murcia. The data foresees a salary range of 18,000 euros gross per year, and 20,000 euros for web designers who work for a multinational in that community.
