the founder of Telegram charges against Pedro Sánchez and sends a massive message

by

He package of measures of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, to regulate social networks has not only aroused the ire of Elon Musk, who has launched several disqualifications through X. It has also provoked a reaction from the CEO and co-founder of Telegram. Pável Dúrov is sending a message this afternoon to Spanish users of the platform in which he frontally rejects the proposal and warns of what, in his opinion, would be its consequences. Hey, you have a message from Durov. If you use Telegram and have a Spanish number, it is very likely that this afternoon you received an unusual notification. The official ‘Telegram’ bot, the same one usually used for security communications such as login codes, displays a message forwarded from the channel @durov. “The government of Pedro Sánchez is promoting new dangerous regulations that threaten your freedoms on the internet,” the text begins. From there, Dúrov promises to “explain” why he considers that the package of measures represents an alarm signal for freedom of expression and privacy. Durov Dúrov’s message translated into Spanish in the Telegram bot Against the prohibition of social networks for minors under 16 years of age. One of the central criticisms of the founder of Telegram points to the proposal to restrict the access of minors under 16 years of age to social networks. Dúrov maintains that such a measure, in practice, would imply strict identity verification controls that would go beyond that age group, citing formulas such as DNI or biometrics. “It sets a precedent for tracking the identity of EVERY user, eroding anonymity and opening doors to mass data collection,” he says. “What starts with minors could spread to everyone, stifling open debate,” he adds. Here it is important to clarify something important: for now, the Government has not fully detailed what specific technical measures would be applied for this age verification, nor how they would be implemented in practice. That is to say, Dúrov’s interpretation is based on a harsh scenario, but the actual implementation will depend on how the initiative ends up being drafted and the mechanism chosen to apply it. Risks of “overcensorship”. The message also focuses on another point of the proposal: tightening the responsibility of the platforms, including their managers, if they do not remove content considered illegal or hateful. According to Dúrov, this would push companies to act preventively and aggressively, with a clear collateral effect on public debate: “this will force over-censorship—the platforms will delete anything minimally controversial to avoid risks, silencing political dissidence, journalism and everyday opinions.” And what about the algorithm? The initiative also proposes legally punishing the manipulation of algorithms and the deliberate amplification of illegal content. Dúrov interprets this point as a potential paradigm shift: that the control of the order of what we see on the Internet becomes a regulated matter with room for political intervention. “Governments will dictate what you see, burying opposing opinions and creating state-controlled echo chambers,” he writes. In the same block, he warns that these types of measures would end up affecting the free circulation of ideas. Measures against polarization. Another leg of the package is the creation of a system described as a “footprint of hate and polarization,” which would quantify how platforms amplify social division and serve as a basis for future sanctions. Durov dwells especially on this point, questioning the fit of categories that, in his opinion, are too open and moldable: “vague definitions of ‘hate’ could label criticism of the government as divisive, leading to closures or fines. This can be a tool to suppress the opposition.” A message without gray, waiting for the small print. Overall, Dúrov presents the proposal as an inseparable block of threats against freedom of expression and privacy, hardly distinguishing between measures or opening room for nuances. It is a reading aligned with Telegram’s usual narrative, which tends to frame regulation as a direct risk to digital rights. But it also leaves a decisive factor in the background: several parts of the plan, as we say, are still pending completion, both in its final formulation and in its technical implementation. Telegram does not come to this debate from scratch. Dúrov’s intervention also occurs in a complicated context for the platform. Telegram has been under the spotlight for some time due to the role played by some channels and groups in the dissemination of content that is difficult to moderate, and due to the recurring debates about responsibility and cooperation with authorities. Added to this is that the founder has been noted in France in the framework of investigations linked to the use of Telegram against criminal activities and certain illegal content. This history helps to understand why these types of messages are not just political criticism.

A tax on billionaires has made the founder of Google seek refuge in Miami. A $173 million shelter

by

Larry Page, co-founder of Google and second largest fortune in the world according to Forbespacks his bags after 30 years living in California. It’s not a whim. There is a compelling reason behind this decision: not pay taxes. However, the millionaire moves from state to state. the most millionaire way possiblewhich is none other than spending no less than 173.4 million dollars on two mansions near the sea in Miami. A house with a name and surname in Coconut Grove. According to published The Wall Street Journalthe co-founder of Google has acquired two properties in Coconut Grove, one of the most exclusive and luxurious neighborhoods in Miami, for about $101.5 million and $71.9 million respectively, for a total outlay of $173.4 million. One of the mansions was initially put up for sale for $135 million and extends over a 1.8-hectare beachfront plot, has 13 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms, several pools and gardens surrounding the construction. The mansion was owned by Jonathan Lewis, a well-known philanthropist and civil rights activist who died in 2023. The sale of this mansion known in the area as “Banyan Ridge“, closed in mid-December with a significant discount. ​A second retreat close. As and how they point From the specialized real estate portal Realtor, without leaving the neighborhood and just under four minutes by car from his main residence, the millionaire would have bought a second mansion for about 71.9 million dollars. This second property would also be located on the seafront with views of Biscayne Bay. In this case, the construction has about 1,579 square meters, seven rooms and belonged to the journalist and writer Sloan Barnett, heiress of billionaire George L. Lindemann, as he collected The Wall Street Journal. Fleeing the millionaire tax. Larry Page’s hasty move and other Silicon Valley millionaires It comes in the context of California’s plans to vote on approving a tax that would levy 5% to the estates of more than 1 billion dollars. According to what was published by The New York TimesIf the tax is approved, it could be applied retroactively to those billionaires who reside in California as of January 1, 2026. Therefore, in order not to be included in that calculation, Page has packed his bags to start the year as a resident in Florida. Analysts consulted by the American media calculate that, taking into account that it is the second largest fortune in the world with a valuation of 270.1 billion dollars, this tax could mean a tax bill of more than 13 billion dollars. Following in the footsteps of Bezos and Musk. Larry Page’s move is not an isolated or strange case. Jeff Bezos did the same from Seattle in 2023, although at that time justified his move to Miami to be closer to the family and operations of Blue Origin, his aerospace company. Bezos also made a grand landing in Florida, buying several mansions on the artificial island known as Billionaire Bunker for about 237 million. The change of residence (and state) has given you an estimated tax savings of about 1 billion dollars. Something similar happened to Elon Musk who, after his judicial dispute over the payment of his salary bonus of Tesla in Delaware, changed the headquarters of his companies and his residence to Texasavoiding paying 13.3% in California capital gains taxes. Bad news for your neighbors. The exodus of millionaires from California is making local real estate agents make a killing selling luxury homes in areas like Coconut Grove. Dina Gold Thayer, by Douglas Elliman, explained to The Wall Street Journal that “every two days, we show available homes to San Francisco clients. Everyone is in a hurry to buy to avoid the retroactive application of the wealth tax.” This rush to buy is an opportunity for residents, since their potential buyers had less room for negotiation, causing prices in the area to skyrocket even more.

The founder of Ikea was one of the richest men on the planet, but his most famous trick is available to everyone

by

You may like it more or less Ikeabut I don’t think there are many doubts about the success that the company has had throughout its history. One figure was key in his rise. Its founder, Ingvar Kampradwas a different man of his time. The businessman died with billions of dollars in his account and, however, the key that led him to success and that he strictly followed throughout his life was very simple. Hint: never spend more than necessary. Ingvar Kamprad before Ikea. When you imagine the guy who built the Ikea empire, you may think of someone who lived a dream life that very few can achieve. However, if the company is what it is today, it is partly because Kamprad was the complete opposite of those stereotypes. Despite his wealth, he was known for your most frugal habits. Born in Sweden in 1926, his beginnings as a “businessman” began very early. At the age of five he sold matchesand at ten he dedicated himself to selling bikes, fish or even Christmas decorations to his neighbors. At the age of 17, he created Ikea with the money his father gave him for his good grades. Of course, I didn’t sell furniture then, just small utensils for the house. ELON MUSK VS JEFF BEZOS: STAR WARS Kamprad in 1965 Ikea is getting older. It happened in 1956, when Kamprad revolutionized the market and the furniture industry itself with the introduction of flat boxes with furniture to assemble at home. Yes, this began a way of selling the product that has continued to this day and that reduced the company’s costs in exchange for the consumer doing the other part of the work: assembling the furniture. The founder achieved such success that he became one of the richest men on the planet. In fact, when he died in 2018 he was eighth on the world list and had a estimated net worth of 58 billion of dollars. However, if you had met him in life, you would not have thought that you were dealing with a billionaire. Kamprad’s life hack. Talking about the secret of the success of a company like Ikea in an article is nothing short of an act of faith. Surely it is better understood in a book and in a more relaxed way, but we can understand some keys through the figure of its founder. And Kamprad insisted on one thing: saving, and he carried that maxim every day of his life. “Everything we earn we need as a reserve,” said. For example, the man was known for flying economy class, staying in budget hotels, or drive a Volvo 240 GL of 93 that lasted 20 years. In fact, he only gave it up when he was convinced it was dangerous. Kamprad said that he learned to be prudent with money in the small town in southern Sweden where he grew up: “it is in Smaland’s nature to be thrifty.” Example of this it happened in 2014when he returned to Sweden after 40 years of tax exile with clothes “bought only in flea markets.” The haircut anecdote. In 2008, The guardian told a scene which said a lot about the businessman’s personality. Apparently, after paying around 22 euros for a haircut in the Netherlands, he said the price was too high for his usual budget for haircuts, “I usually try to get a haircut when I’m in a developing country. The last time was in Vietnam,” he went on to say. The philosophy of life, to the company. These habits not only represented the beginning of Kamprad’s personal philosophy towards consumerism, but were also to serve as a model for his employees. He New York Times detailed that low-cost flights, meals and hotel stays were initiatives that he promoted among executives. In fact, in 1976 he distributed what was called “Testament of a furniture dealer“, a booklet with guidelines that Ikea employees have followed since then. In it, he details parts of his frugal philosophy, stating that “wasting resources is a mortal sin at Ikea.” His inheritance, his legacy. Decades before his death, Kamprad had placed ownership of the Ikea brand in a complex network of foundations and holding companies. However, these assets were not transmitted to his heirs. Apparently, the Stichting Ingka Foundation, a Dutch entity whose stated purpose is to donate to charities and “support innovation” in design, controls most of the Ikea stores. Additionally, the Interogo Foundation owns the rights to the brand and controls global franchises through a subsidiary. This foundation is managed by a board in which members of the Kamprad family have minority control. That is, the heirs retained some of the wealth and control, but the majority of their fortune is held in charitable trusts. A complicated structure as a result of his desire to preserve Ikea’s unique culture and ensure its long-term survival. Why Ikea. Before finishing this small collection of stories about the man who founded the most famous furniture company, a secret that many do not know. Why is it called Ikea? It is an acronym of the initials of Kamprad’s first and last name, and the initials of the name of the family farm where he was born (Elmtaryd) and the nearest village (Agunnaryd).

OpenAI founder says AI does not imitate brains

by

Andrej Karpathy, co-founder of OpenAI and former head of AI at Tesla, has offered a radically different view on the current state of AI in an extensive interview with Dwarkesh Patel. Faced with overwhelming optimism, he maintains that current systems are “digital ghosts” that imitate human patterns, not brains that evolve like animals. His prediction: AGI Functional will arrive in 2035, not 2026. Why is it important. Comparisons between AI and biological brains are dominating technical discourse and guiding many investment decisions. Karpathy argues that this analogy is “misleading” and raises unrealistic expectations. His experience leading autonomous driving at Tesla for five years has given him a unique perspective on the gap between killer demos and truly functional products. The difference. Animals evolve over millions of years, developing instincts encoded in their DNA. A zebra runs minutes after being born thanks to that “pre-installed hardware.” Language models learn by imitating text from the Internet without anchoring that knowledge in a body or a physical experience. “We’re not building animals,” he says. “We are building ethereal entities that simulate human behavior without really understanding it.” Ghosts. The problem of reinforcement learning. Karpathy says that the RL (reinforcement learning) current is “terrible” because it rewards entire trajectories instead of individual steps. If a model solves a problem after a hundred failed attempts, the system reinforces the entire path, including the errors. We humans reflect on each step and adjust. The collapse. The models suffer from “entropy collapse”: When they generate synthetic data to self-train, they produce responses that occupy a very small space of possibilities. ask ChatGPT one joke and you’ll get three repeated variants. Poor human memory is an advantage: it forces us to abstract. The LLM They remember perfectly, which allows them to recite Wikipedia but prevents them from reasoning beyond the memorized data. Between the lines. Karpathy saw that Claude Code and OpenAI agents proved useless for complex code during development. nanochat. They work with repetitive code that abounds on the Internet, but fail when faced with new architectures. “Companies generate slop“, he said. “Perhaps to raise financing.” The core. Their proposal: build models with a billion parameters (dwarf compared to those most used today) trained with impeccable data that contain thinking algorithms, but not factual knowledge. The model would look for information when it needs it, just like we do. “The Internet is full of garbage,” he explains. Giant models make up for that dirt with raw size. With clean data, a small model could feel “very smart.” The unexpected turn. Karpathy expects no explosion of intelligence, only continuity. Computers, mobile phones, the Internet: none have altered the GDP curve. Everything is diluted in the same ~2% annual growth. “We are experiencing an explosion,” he said, “but we see it in slow motion.” His prediction: AI will follow that pattern, spreading slowly through the economy, without causing the abrupt jump to 20% growth that some have anticipated.

Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, is a Tai Chi fan and millionaire. That’s why he gave himself the gift of starring in a martial arts movie

by

Jack Ma, founder and executive chairman of Alibaba, is known worldwide for having founded a technology empire in China, but he also made his first steps in the world of cinema. And of all genres, martial arts. An eccentricity that was allowed to be filled with top stars of the genre and that, however, was more than just an idea to massage the ego: Ma has been practicing Tai Chi for 30 years. The man, the legend. Jack Ma, born in 1964 in Hangzhou, China, is the founder in 1999 and former CEO of Alibaba Group, one of the largest e-commerce conglomerates in the world. He founded the company with the goal of connecting Chinese companies with international buyers, revolutionizing digital commerce. His vision turned Alibaba into a global e-commerce and technology giant. He is currently dedicated to philanthropy and education, while his company has been facing a fall of influence very considerable. 22 minutes of tollinas. In 2017, before retiring from Alibaba, Jack Ma starred in and co-produced a martial arts short film titled ‘Gong Shou Daoo’ (literally, “The Art of Attacking and Defending”): 22 minutes depicting Ma as a Tai Chi master facing off against a series of rivals, all of whom are legendary actors in Chinese action cinema. People like Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Tony Jaa, Wu Jing, Natasha Liu Bordizzo and boxing champion Zou Shiming, among others. Everyone involved agreed to participate free of charge, motivated by the promotion of Chinese culture and martial arts globally. All for Tai Chi. Jack Ma, as we have mentioned, has been practicing Tai Chi for thirty years, and used the film to highlight the philosophy and values ​​of this martial discipline, focusing on balance and harmony. The project arises from the intention of preserving and disseminating this discipline, and reflecting on the screen Tai Chi as an art with a physical and a spiritual aspect. Result: more than 170 million views when it was launched in 2017. But it’s okay or what. Let’s see, a movie in which Donnie Yen and Tony Jaa share the bill cannot be bad even if it wants to. But also, the fan has the opportunity to meet Jet Li again, who has been semi-retired from action movies for years, in a reasonably extensive role with fights. Ma is neither the most forceful nor the most expressive actor, but for that gift to fans alone, he has our thumbs up. If you want more Tai Chi. Speaking of Jet Li and speaking of Tai Chi, the choreographer of the film is Ku Huen-Chiu, chosen very consciously by Ma. Apart from a rich career with films in his filmography such as a sequel to ‘The Matrix’, ‘Kill Bill’ and several classics of Hong Kong action cinema from the nineties, Ku Huen-Chiu participated in the filming of ‘Tai Chi Master’, a marvel by Li and Michelle Yeoh directed by none other than Yuen-Woo Ping, one of the great Chinese action choreographers of all time. So if you think Tai Chi is something for old people in the park, check out that hilarious dynastic martial epic and you’ll change your mind. In Xataka | Jack Ma was the richest man in China.

The founder of WhatsApp thought he lived in luxury. In reality I was surrounded by fakes and trinkets

by

The world of millionaires is full of stories of betrayal, disloyalty and fortune hunters who seek to profit from economic tranquility of the 1% of the population whose pulse is not altered by paying 20,000 euros for a chair. Jan Koum, one of the founders of WhatsApp, has recently been the victim of one of these abuses. The millionaire has demanded to the interior designer who decorated a good part of his mansions and their yachts for scamming him with furniture and other decorative objects, which he passed off as luxury pieces, when in reality they were nothing more than crude imitations at best. They also give millionaires a hard time According what was published by the British Dailymail, The co-founder of WhatsApp is immersed in a legal battle with the French interior designer Remi Tessier, accused of selling him counterfeit luxury products and of applying extra costs on the decoration bills for his mansions and superyachts. The dispute arose when Koum discovered that several pieces he purchased through Tessier were simple imitations that neither had the expected quality of a luxury piece nor the price of a piece of junk. The interior designer’s scam ranged from designer furniture to rugs made by hand by artisans with a centuries-old tradition, who later turned out not to be artisans. According to published data by luxurylaunchesthe complaint details that the millionaire paid extra costs of between 10% and 20% on purchases made through his interior designer. An example would be a luxury chair for which the magnate paid 19,550 euros instead of the 12,400 euros it cost in the store, or the 1,731 euros he paid for a glassware set that actually cost just over 1,000 euros. What is even more serious is that the scam by his interior designer was not limited to adding a bite in his favor, the matter escalated when in charge of decorating the interior of his properties he was billed 642,000 euros for a supposed set of pashmina rugs that were supposedly made by hand. As revealed in the documents attached to the lawsuit, the rugs were be fakes Made with low-cost synthetic materials that did not cost even half of what the millionaire paid for them. The lawsuit also revealed somewhat more complex practices to deceive the millionaire. One of them was to transform prices between dollars and euros to benefit from exchange differences. Bites left and right According to collect he New York PostTessier helped decorate five of the millionaire’s homes, and from his studio in Paris, where he employs 15 people, Tessier decorates the homes and yachts of some of the richest people in the world. Among his billionaire clients are names as Larry Ellison and Ken Griffin, who are suspected of having also applied cost overruns showing a “predatory pattern,” as the lawsuit specifies. However, Tessier not only inflated his customers’ invoices, but also demanded commissions from the distributors who provided them with the products. The lawsuit indicates that the French interior designer convinced the millionaire of Ukrainian origin to buy a Picasso valued at 7.8 million dollars. On this occasion, the painting was authentic, as were the $600,000 that Tessier pocketed in a hidden payment from the gallery that sold it and that was never communicated to the millionaire. Jan Koum, has manifested that this lawsuit is not about personal gain, ensuring that any economic recovery will be donated to charities in France. “It’s about protecting others,” said Orin Snyder, Koum’s attorney in this case. According to the British media. Designer Remi Tessier rejected the accusations of fraud, claiming to have acted with respect towards Koum and reproaching the decision to take the matter to trial. “I reject all allegations against me. I have always treated Jan with the utmost respect and protected his privacy. I am surprised he took this action.” In Xataka | A businessman built a mega mansion without permission: the neighbors have gotten the city council to demolish it Image | Flickr (Hubert Burda Media), Unsplash (Kam Idris)

The Irobot co -founder believes that there is a robotics bubble

by

Rodney Brooks believes that humanoid robots are a bubble condemned to explode. Anyone says it: Brooks was the co -founder of Irobot, the company that manufactures the famous robots aspirations of the Roba family. Too nice to be true. This expert, who before Irobot worked for decades at MIT, does not believe that in the future we live surrounded by human robots. Observe skepticism the developments of companies such as Tesla or Figure, who work in robots that learn to move as humans. In a new essay He talks about this type of way of thinking about the future “is pure fantasy.” The bottleneck of skill. In his opinion, the problem is that trying to imitate the skill of movement of a human hand – for example – is an almost impossible mission. Especially since there are 17,000 specialized tactile receptors (and that detect pressure, vibration, texture or sliding) that it is not possible to find in humanoid robots. There is, however, concrete advances in this area. Insufficient training. According to Brooks, “we don’t have that kind of tradition for touch data.” This area is different from what has been achieved with other areas such as language recognition or image processing. In his essay he explains how learning based on visual videos of humans performing tasks are not enough for robots to acquire that skill. An experiment. To reinforce his theory, Brooks commented on how in an experiment a person was anesthetized the fingertips to analyze the skill of his hands. In this experiment it was seen how the person took four times more to complete a simple task such as lighting a match. The touch sensation, says this expert, is irreplaceable. Tree goes. But it also warns of the security risks posed by these robots. Keeping them standing requires a lot of energy, he says, and if they fall they can end up being A real risk. The reason is that as explained by the kinetic energy of its limbs, it is amplified by the Law of Scale. Robots with tweezers. For him the “humanoid robots” of the future will be of everything but humanoids. Instead in 15 years what we will see are robots with wheels, several arms, industrial tweezers and specialized sensors. The huge current investments that technology companies are making will not crystallize in that theoretical mass production of humanoid robots. China does believe in humanoid robots. Brooks’ arguments are powerful, but the truth is that China is demonstrating have an absolute faith in it future of this segment. The current humanoid robots are limited in their benefits and capacity, but the investment in this market and the advances that are being made are undeniable. What will have to be verified is whether that human skill and tactile perception end up in effect insurmountable obstacles for such robots.

Zuckerberg is desperate with the advance of AI in goal. So entered “Founder Mode”

by

Mark Zuckerberg is very frustrated with the advances of his company in artificial intelligence, so much that he is personally hiring a new team of AI experts and researchers to correct the current course of the company. His last launch was Call 4 and, as Bloomberg reportshe has not lived up to expectations. This has caused that the CEO is being implemented to the maximum in the creation of this new team with which it intends to turn to lead the competition and achieve its great goal: to create a AGI (general artificial intelligence). Absolute priority. Zuckerberg has entered “Founder Mode”, this means that he is not delegating the creation of the superintelligence team, as they refer to him internally, but is participating in each step of the process. Fuenter nearby, say that the CEO created a WhatsApp group with other executives to discuss possible candidates and is the first to contact them. He has even met with them in their houses of Lake Tahoe and Palo Alto and has reorganized the offices of its headquarters in Melo Park so that the team feels close to their office and that everything is as private as possible. The team will be made up of around 50 people and will have researchers and infrastructure engineers among others. What is not clear is how it will be integrated with the rest of the AI ​​teams in the finish line or if there will be possible dismissals. Discontent with the advances of the finish line in AI. In April, Meta announced Call 4its great language model that competes with others such as GPT-4. The truth is that it is difficult to unseat Chatgpt, which just in April was also proclaimed as The most downloaded app of the world. The people of the Meta team worked nights and weekends, but the result has been disappointing. This also caused a delay in launching Call 4 Behemothits biggest model to date, because the current one is not at the level they want. Given this, frustrated, Zuckerberg has decided that he wants a new team. Objective: General artificial intelligence. In early 2024, Zuckerberg revealed his great long -term goal: reach general artificial intelligence and “open it to the Open Source so that everyone can benefit.” General artificial intelligence is an even more ambitious concept; an AI that is able to perform any intellectual task, to carry out judgments and reason even with a greater capacity than human beings. There are many companies wanting to lead the next great jump in AI and goal does not want to be left behind. Zuckerberg would be determined to achieve it, although it seems an unrealistic objective considering that it has been launched so far, he has not lived up to his expectations. A Milmillionaire investment. In parallel to the formation of the new team, Zuckerberg would be planning a large investment in Scale AI, a company that offers services to train AI models and also develops applications for companies and governments. With this they would make a leap in quality by having a better data labeling. Although it is not confirmed, bells sound like The agreement is in a very advanced phase and could get to no less than 15,000 million dollarsthe largest external goal investment to date. But Zuckerberg doesn’t seem to worry these millionaire investments. According to Bloomberg, he told possible candidates for his team that the target advertising business is strong and have plenty of liquidity to finance their career in the AI ​​sector. One of these investments would have to do with the Creation of a gigantic data center that could leave for 200,000 million dollars. At its target moment he denied it, but if confirmed it would end up being the most expensive to date, followed by Amazon that will cost $ 100,000 million.

“The chips for Huawei are a generation behind the US.” Ren Zhengfei, founder of Huawei says it

by

Ren Zhengfei, the founder and general director of Huawei, has made very interesting statements during a conversation with a Chinese journalist from Diario del Pueblo. According to this executive “the Huawei GPUs are still A generation behind of the chips for artificial intelligence (AI) of the US “. A priori it is surprising that the head of this company publicly makes recognition as sharp as this. However, this is not all. In addition, Zhengfei argues that “the US has exaggerated Huawei’s abilities. We are not so strong yet.” His words They arrive at a very important moment For the company that leads. And it is that little more than a month ago two new chips for AI, the GPUs Ascend 910d and 920with which he aspires to gradually snatch the leadership in performance in AI applications that holds both in China and beyond the borders of this Asian country. Correctly understand Zhengfei’s statements requires putting them in context This reflection of the general director of Huawei has not arrived at any time. Currently the governments of the US and China They are negotiating in London The scenario and the conditions in which their commercial relations will be developed in the future, and Huawei has a leading role in this conflict. After all, it is next to SMIC (Semiconductor manufacturing international corp), The largest Chinese chips, China’s spearhead in the technology industry in general and in the semiconductor sector and the AI ​​in particular. All probability the words of Zhengfei seek to take Huawei away from the Center for Care, and, therefore, relieve the pressure to which this company is currently subjected. However, this does not mean that he is lying and has affirmed something that does not really believe. Jensen Huang, the general director of Nvidia, has declared A few days ago, China is not behind in front of the US in AI. And the solvency of Deepseek, Ernie, Qwen, Pangu, Hunyuan or Sensenova endorses its analysis. In inference processes the latest chips of the Ascend family of Huawei are very competitive However, Ren Zhengfei has strain the hardware that Huawei has. It does not talk about the capacities or competitiveness of the great language models for the developed in China. In inference processes the latest chips of the Ascend family They are very competitive. An note before moving forward: inference is broadly the computational process carried out by language models with the purpose of generating the responses that correspond to the requests they receive. However, it is currently reasonable to assume that the NVIDIA GPUs deliver a higher performance in the training processes of the great AI models. All probability this is the idea about The statement of Zhengfei. However, there is more than we should not overlook if we want to understand in all its extension the words of this executive. Chinese culture is solidly strengthened about traditional values ​​that, despite lasting for more than two millennia, are still very present in current Chinese idiosyncrasy. Modesty (qiānxū), humility (qiānxùn) or (qiānbēi), serenity (chénzhuó) or (dàndìng) and respect for rivals (zūnzhòng duìshou) are values ​​that have traditionally been intimately linked to the Chinese character. And there is no doubt that Zhengfei’s words give off this cultural and philosophical. It is difficult to identify the exact historical moment in which these fundamental values ​​were imbricated in Chinese culture, but, curiously, they are very present in ‘The art of war’the classic work that the Chinese strategist Sun Tzu wrote around the 5th century.
