A Basque startup of AI has just lifted 189 million euros with a great idea: compress the AI

by

Before We compressed files with Zip. Now what we begin to need is to compress the AI ​​to make it more small and efficient. That is just the idea that the founders of Multivrse Computing had, a Spanish startup which is becoming the new jewel of the crown of our AI industry. Its founders, (in the image, from left to right, Román Orús, Enrique Lizaso Olmos and Samuel Mugel) and Alfonso Rubio have much to celebrate. Investment Round. Multivize Computing He has just closed an investment round of 189 million euros (215 million dollars). The round (series B) has been led by Bullhound Capital, but it has also participated HP Tech Ventures, Sett, ForgePoint Capital International, CDP Venture Capital, Santander Climate VC, Quantonation, Toshiba and Euskadi Risk Capital of Euskadi – Spri Group. Last March the company received An investment of 67 million euros by the Government of Spain. The inference AI by flag. Although the current prominence usually takes it the great technological ones that invest billions of dollars in data centers to train Great language models (LLM)there is more and more focus on the other part: the one we use users when asking things to Chatgpt, for example. It is the so -called AI inference, and the estimate is that in 2025 the value of that industry reaches 106,000 million dollars. In Multivrse Computing they want a good piece of that cake, and to achieve this, its great trick is a unique technology. Compactifai. This is the name of The compression technology of AI models developed by multivance computing. What this allows is to convert very large models – which costs a lot to “execute” – in much smaller and efficient models, which allows them to make them more manageable and save many resources (and time) during inference. How to compress an AI model. Román Orús, scientific director of the company, led A study May 2024 in which they precisely explained the concept of “tensioning networks” of quantum inspiration and that allow compressing these models. Its operation is based on decomposing the matrices of pesos from the neural networks “truncating them” and retaining only the largest and most relevant values. In essence the concept focuses on discarding the less relevant information of the model to be left alone with the most relevant. But that does not make the model less accurate? In fact, but the degree of truncation can be controlled so that there is a good balance and commitment between compression and loss of precision. Even by compressing these models, in Multivars Computing they say The fall of the models It is only 2 to 3%. Same yield in a size 95% lower. To mitigate that precision fall, this system includes a rapid resentment phase called “healing” that can be repeated several times to achieve even closer accuracy to the original version. In the end, they affirm in the company, they can compress up to 95% a model of the performance. It lowers the use of AI. According to Your dataa model as it calls 3.1 405b has an operational cost of about $ 390,000 if we want to run it at home (13 GPUS H100, 9100 W of consumption), but thanks to Compactifai it is possible to reduce that cost to 60,000 dollars (2 GPUS H100, 1,400 W). One more “thin”. The “Slim” models provided by the company – Derivatives of Llama 3.3 70b or Call 4 scout– They are compressed versions that theoretically do not lose precision. They can be executed through the AWS platform or by licenses that also allow us to use it on-premisethat is, in local/own infrastructure. According to their metrics, these models are between 4 and 12 times faster than their non -compressed versions, which translates into an inference cost that is between 50% and 80% lower.

Ireland tested a basic income of 1,300 euros for 2,000 artists. It has gone so well that now they do not want me to end

by

The last of the experiments we had heard about that idea of ​​receiving money every month without conditions, also called basic income, It happened in Germany. The test consisted of 1,200 euros per month to 122 participants and the results contradicted many of the topics that we usually hear around the proposal. Ireland has been the next stop, about to finish another unprecedented test: basic rent, but for art. A salary for the artist. The story It began in 2022at which time Ireland launched one of the most significant pilot programs of basic income aimed at the cultural sector, granting 2,000 artists and art workers an unconditional weekly income of 325 euros, 1,300 euros per month. For three years, without performance or consideration requirements, these beneficiaries enjoyed unusual economic stability in the artistic world, allowing them to fully focus on their creative work. The initiative, promoted by the then Minister of Culture, Catherine Martinhe was born in response to acute precariousness after the pandemic and was a total investment of 28 million dollars In the sector. Now, as the end of the program approaches in August, the beneficiaries and their defenders face the uncertainty of the return to financial insecurity, while the voices that claim their extension and conversion in a permanent policy of universal basic income grow. Creative freedom. But there is much more. A prepared report By sociologist Jenny Dagg, from the University of Maynooth, collects the testimony of more than 50 participants and reveals deep effects that go far beyond economic relief. Admission allowed artists to experience, assume risks and fail without constant fear of poverty, which raised quality and originality of its production. At the same time, many reported substantial improvements in their Emotional well -beingincluding better sleep, less anxiety and renewed confidence in their professional career. The ability to devote time to thought, research or innovation, before a luxury, became creative routine. For many, the program was the first real opportunity to imagine a long -term viable artistic career, without sacrificing dignity or health. A sociocultural laboratory. He Irish pilot It has also become a world reference in the midst of the growing debate on the future of employment in the face of artificial automation and intelligence. With technological leaders such as Elon Musk and Sam Altman advocating the need for a universal basic income in response to mass labor disruption, the Irish experience It provides concrete evidence that a guaranteed income does not discourage work, but enriches it. While other similar initiatives in the United States or Germany have been more limited, Ireland opted for a sector that, although not always lucrative, is essential for the symbolic and emotional fabric of any society: art. In this context, driving organizations such as Ubi Lab Network either Basic Inome Ireland They argue that no more evidence is needed: the positive impact is already demonstrated. The dilemma of the return. And as in almost all these experiments, there is an end. With the conclusion of the program in sight, many participants They express fear Given the possibility that their progress and stability are faded. The concerns on how to maintain the creative impulse without that economic mattress extend through all artistic disciplines. The Minister of Culture, Patrick O’Donovan, He has recognized The value of the pilot and has promised to thoroughly evaluate its results before proposing new measures, although there is still no certainty about possible extension. Meanwhile, promoters insist that basic income is not only an economic policy, but a essential tool to deal with the multiple crises of the present (economic, social and ecological) returning time, agency and health to those who create, interpret and enrich the cultural life of the nation. Lessons Thus, and although the future of this Irish basic rent It is still uncertain, its impact has already left a fingerprint in the lives of thousands of artists and in the global debate on the value of unconventional work. Far from becoming a mere experiment, the program has shown that giving people a minimum of security can release their maximum potential. If you want also, in a world that is vertiginously approaching a New and unpredictable Technological revolution, the question that Ireland poses is not so much if we can afford to implement a basic income, but, perhaps, if we can really allow ourselves.

Byd pays up to 600,000 euros for unmasking defamatory campaigns

by

The electric car market has become something suffocating in China. The competition has shot to the point that some of the fashion companies are denouncing defamatory campaigns against them. The last to do so has been byd. “We accept media criticism and public supervision, but we will not tolerate defamatory content or false accusations.” With these words, Li Yunfei, general manager of the BYD brand and public relations department, has referred to statements collected by Carnewschina. The hard tone comes after Byd has denounced 37 influencers for what he considers a campaign against the company. According to the company, these accounts would have poured misinformation content to damage their sales. More than 150 accounts under suspicion In addition to these 37 accounts that he has already denounced, the Asian giant monitors the activity of another 126 accounts that could, according to their opinions, be misinforming and launching harmful information against the company. This has been confirmed by the company itself a statement in Wechat, according to Carnewschina. In its announcement, the company specifies the number of accounts reported and on which it maintains their attention but also emphasizes that anyone who gives clues about accounts that are organizing these alleged discredit campaigns will be rewarded. Specifically they talk about delivering between 50,000 and 5 million yuan (between 6,000 and 600,000 euros, approximately). It also coincides with A publication in Weibo where they presume past and good reputation. It is in this social network and others like Tiktok where the company seeks who, they assure, to defame their work. Nor is it the first time that Byd carries out a similar action. Last year the company has already taken similar measures and did in 2021. In its messages they emphasize that it will be rewarded “whenever you can clearly sign up for relevant individuals, advertising companies or relevant automobile companies. We will resolve it and inform the public”, can be read in this notice last year. Although, by size, Byd is the one that has the most speaker is the only company that has denounced similar practices. In SINA FINANCE We can read that Nio also suffered similar discredit campaigns. And more recently Xiaomi too denounced a discredit campaign Hours before showing in public its Xiaomi Yu7. In the case of Byd, in Carnewschina They collect some examples that the brand has published. Among them is a Weibo user who It has been sanctioned by the Chinese courts with the payment of 100,000 yuan (more than 12,000 euros) for ensuring that the company manipulates influencers. The same amount will have to pay another user who insulted the company and its executives. And a third will have to disburse about 8,000 euros for giving false information on the safety and quality of Byd cars. All are cases that have already been investigated or that are in the hands of justice, as accounts reported by, according to Byd, to give false information about explosions of vehicles or false financial data that pointed to a possible bankruptcy.

Five identical cyberbrains did not suffice for Carrefour to react. So they have fined it with 3.2 million euros

by

The Spanish Data Agency (AEPD) has imposed A fine of 3.2 million euros to Carrefour for alleged infractions of several articles of the RGPD. The surprising thing is not that, but the fact that these infractions were due not to a single cyber attack, but five … exactly the same. Security gaps. Carrefour notified to The AEPD up to five personal data security violations, all related to illegitimate access to customer accounts. The gaps occurred on January 13, January 20, January 24, April 18 and April 21, 2023. All with the same technique. Credential Stuffing. Everything indicates that these security gaps occurred when taking advantage of credential criminals (name, password) of Legitimate Employees of Carrefour who ended up filtering and managed to be obtained by the attackers, probably through Previous massive data robberies. Stolen data. Among the affected data They were name, surname, email, telephone number, DNI, physical address or customer passport number, in addition to information related to their interests, purchase trends and commercial preferences. Thousands of affected. The number of affected according to the AEPD was 118,895 unique accounts that the attacker could obtain personal information. According to Carrefour, the real affectation was much lower: the one that impacted the people’s integrity It was only 234 cases and the confidentiality of its data 973 cases. Several serious infractions. Carrefour recognized his responsibility for the alleged violation of article 34 of the GDPR (communication of the gaps to the affected people) but initially did not consider it “mandatory.” In addition, the AEPD concluded that Carrefour violated the principle of integrity and confidentiality (Article 5.1.F of the RFPD) by allowing illegitimate access to third parties of personal data. And lack of diligence. According to those responsible for AEPD, Carrefour did not have implanted the technical measures necessary to guarantee a level of safety appropriate to risk, but also accused it of lack of diligence. In Carrefour they ended up implementing the double authentication optionbut only since October 2023, when five security gaps had already been used. The fine, broken down. The total fine is 3.2 million euros, but it is actually composed of three concepts: Violation of the principle of integrity and confidentiality (very serious): two million euros Infringement of data processing (serious): one million euros Infringement for communication to interested parties (mild): 200,000 euros. Do not protect customer data is expensive. Iberdrola received an even greater than 6.5 million euros last year after being the victim of a cyber attack that Exposed the data of 850,000 clients. Before, in July 2021, the AEPD I fined 2.5 million euros to Mercadona For a violation of the privacy of the users: in this case, for a pilot of facial recognition that carried out months before and that laid a precedent for this type of systems. With this data, a threat: identity supplaments. Whenever customer data is stolen, there is a clear threat: that they are used to supplant the identity of those customers. With these data it is possible to configure custom and directed scams, much more credible and dangerous for the victims. The other immediate risk is that cybercounts use these credentials to try to steal accounts in all types of services, hence the importance of Do not use the same password on different platforms.

Three watches for less than 200 euros to run. We face them on the ground and we already have a winner

by

Going to run with a smartwatch sounds tempting. But when prices range from less than 200 euros up to about 900 euros, it is normal to ask if it is worth paying more. What do we lose when we opt for a cheaper model? And what do we continue to win? In our new video we face three affordable watches that seek to offer us several answers. That is why in Xataka We have prepared a new video For our YouTube channel With one of our favorite formats: the Versuswhere we compare face -to -face devices to discover which one deserves more. In this new comparison we face them Garmin Forerunner 55he Amazfit Active 2 and the newcomer Huawei Watch Fit 4. For several weeks, our partner Mario Arroyo has run about five times a week with each of them. “I have been testing what are the three best watchesTo start running and I’m going to tell you why this is the best ”, starts in the video. The goal is clear: check which best meets in key aspects such as comfort, drums, sports functions, experience of use and mobile applications. As for comfort, the three models fulfill well, although one of them feels “slightly thicker and heavier.” The biggest difference is in the way of interacting: Huawei and Amazfit bet on Amoled touch screens, while Garmin resorts to buttons. At first it may seem uninitive. “Uncle, it is very little intuitive,” said Mario, but soon found an unexpected advantage. After running, the analysis comes into play. The apps of the three offer data and statistics, But with clear differences. Garmin Connect is the most technical and deep, while Huawei Health and Zepp (Amazfit) are more visual and intuitive. In this Versus We will try to discover which one that can help us continue to progress. Mario also explores which proposals fall short as smartwatch, as well as related to autonomy. “I have trained a lot with them for a lot of time to be able to make the most precise possible comparison and having so many an hour training, I think they are very good data,” he summarizes.

According to the data obtained by the INE on a base of 220,000 workers surveyed, the most frequent salary in Spain In 2023 it was 15,574.9 euros gross per year, a figure that received 4.6% of the total employees. This data is especially striking because it is a considerable decrease compared to 2021, but an increase with respect to 2022 that was 14,586.44 euros. Between 2018 and 2020, the INE data placed the most frequent salary at 18,468.9 euros per year, which shows a clear setback in the most common retribution. The second most frequent remuneration is already at 19,500.29 euros gross per year, salary that recognizes 4% of workers. In addition, the statistic indicates that one in four employees (25.6%) charged between 14,000 and 20,000 euros per year in 2023. In contrast, only 10% of employees earned more than 49,836 euros gross that year, while three out of four had a gross salary of less than 34,992 euros per year. The INE emphasizes that “many more workers appear in low values ​​than in the highest salaries.” The SMI effect. The main reason that explains the downward difference in the most frequent salary from 2021 is the Progressive Increase of SMI. This increase has caused salaries to be drastically reduced by the SMI, which In 2023 he set in 15,120 euros per year, which meant an 8% increase compared to 2022. This climb has made many workers who previously charged that amount They have seen their salary increased Until that level, making salaries in the strip of less than 16,000 euros more frequent. The average salary improves a bit. The concentration in low salaries in the strip between 14,000 and 16,000 euros has also promoted the average annual salary per worker. In 2023 it increased by 4.1% compared to the previous year, standing at 28,049.9 euros. This increase is the tenth consecutive year of growth, although the average salary is still well above the most frequent salary and medium salary (which divides the number of workers into two equal parts) that reached 23,349 euros per year. Gender differences. The salary difference by gender remains evident in the labor market of Spain. The average annual gross salary of men was 30,372.49 euros, while that of women stood at 25,591.31 euros per year. Although the salary of women grew 5.1% compared to 3.4% of men, women continue to charge only 84.3% of the average male salary. However, this difference is not attributable to discrimination because of gender since “it is reduced if similar jobs are considered.” Actually, the difference is derived from the greatest incidence of Part -time work among women (21.1%) against men (6.6%), resulting in a lower annual salary. The salary goes by sectors. The data of 2023 have revealed that the sector with the greatest annual remuneration was that of supply of electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning, with an average salary of 54,447.9 euros. This leaves this labor sector between The best paid with almost double the national average. They are followed by financial and insurance activities, with 48,922.8 euros per year.

This average denotes a labor market with a predominance of employment in banking, industrial, technological and added value services, which offers higher salaries and, therefore, raises the salary average of these communities.
