Mobile app, Internet search and free images generation

In his attempt to compete with Openai Chatgpt, the European Startup Mistral AI launched in February its chatbot le chat. But, for some reason, it was only available on the web and its functions were limited. That has just changed with its arrival to iOS and Android, as well as novelties to attract competition users. Speed ​​as a flag. In the world of AI chatbots, users have a wide range of options. From the proposal developed by the company led by Sam Altman to Copilot Microsoft, Claude de Anthropic or Deepseek. In Mistral AI they know well, and they wanted to move token so as not to lose positions in this competition. The main trick of the renovated le chat is the performance, which works with “the most performance and lower latency” models. ” As we can see, the company specifically says what a language model is under the hood of its chatbot, but we know that Develop products as Mistral Large, Mistral Small, Mistral Edge and Codestral. This underlying technology is complemented with an experimental characteristic called Flash Answers whose objective is to provide answers in record time. The promise that its speed is better than that of “any other assistant.” It is important to note that we cannot use Flash Answers unlimitedly since it has limits of use for all plans. Tell ‘Hello’ to the search on the web. Le chat is also updated with the possibility of searching on the web, something that most of the alternatives have already incorporated. The knowledge of the models has a temporary limit, so if we want to access updated information we can ask the chatbot to perform an internet search. Sometimes, Le Chat will use this function automatically, but in certain cases we must specify in our order to use the search function. Mistral AI wanted to give this novelty a plus by adding a section called “Fuentes”, which will tell us where the information has come from and will provide us with the original links. Code vision and execution capabilities. Le Chat can also analyze images and documents thanks to the vision capacity of his models. In this case, we can share from a photograph to a PDF document and ask you related questions. The chatbot also includes a code interpreter for programmers. Image generation. There are several models that give life to Le Chat’s functionalities. One of them is Flux Ultra, which will allow us to create quite realistic images. At least that is the promise that the company itself has made, and holds it with a comparative picture of images generated by Grok, Chatgpt and its own chatbot. Memories, Le Chat’s memory. At this time it is not available, but a novelty called “Memories” should arrive soon, which is learning things like our tastes and preferences. It is something like the chatgpt memory, which allows you to know the user to provide better answers over time. Mobile application. The European chatbot, which since its launch has been available only on the web, now has mobile application. You can download it for free On iPhone through the App Store And on Android from Google Play. Cheaper than competition. Le chat has three levels. The free level, as we say, offers access to the “The latest Mistral Models”, Web Search, File Load, Data Analysis, Image Generation and Flash Answers. The disadvantage? There are limits of use that are more generous in paid plans. The PRO level costs 14.99 euros per month and has “unlimited” access to the best performance model and web navigation. It also arrives with “unlimited” messages, an “extended” use of news function, advanced data analysis and image generation. It also offers the possibility of not sharing data with Mistral. There is also a Team level of 24.99 euros per users per month. This is a company -oriented version that offers live journalistic information with AFP news, file loading, advanced data analysis, centralized billing and administration and dedicated technical support. Conversations are not shared with a default Mistral. Images | Mistral ai In Xataka | Amazon lost the AI ​​train, but wants to recover it. The new Alexa with ia will arrive this month to try

All their rivals offer free models that “reason” and Gemini 2.0 is the last example

by

All the companies and startups of AI in the United States were so quiet going to their own. And suddenly Deepseek R1 arrived and became a true existential threat to Silicon Valley. The Chinese startup offered a model of reasoning as good as that of its competitors, but also offered it for free (and Open Source!). What has Silicon Valley did? Apply the story, of course. GEMINI 2.0 Razon Free for All. Enough that you visit the Official Gemini website and display the “Gemini” menu from the upper left to check it. You can already use 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental (its reasoning model) both in normal mode and in “collaborative” mode with services such as YouTube or Maps. And it is totally free. Microsoft Copilot and Think Deper. Microsoft Copilot’s “Think Deper” mode is also available for free In this service of the company. As we explainThink Deper is actually OpenAi O1, but before Microsoft had to pay the subscription of Copilot Pro ($ 20 per month) to enjoy access to that option. The appearance of Deepseek R1 caused it to also offer it in a grauita way (although with a more limited number of consultations). OPENAI O1. The company led by Sam Altman didn’t want to be left behind and less than a week ago presented O3-minia reasoning model that in addition to being especially powerful is available in the Grauita version of chatgpt. We can activate the “Reason” button so that when we ask something, the O3 reasoning capabilities are put into operation. Deepseek R1 and perplexity. Perplexity’s search engine is gradually offering new options. In fact, a few days ago those responsible announced that On the perplexity website We could activate the Reasoning-R1 model based on Deepseek R1, but housed in the US (to avoid suspicions with possible data theft). They even give the option of opting for the Reasoning-O3-mini model, which is the same offered in Chatgpt. Again for free (although limited), but that stands out for being a comfortable way to try Deepseek R1 in its most powerful version. And the rest? This first batch of reasoning models seems to have taken on foot changed to the rest of the great contenders in the AI ​​segment. Anthropic, who is still a reference with Claude, has not launched a reasoning model at the moment. He has not done so Apple, who goes to his own pace. Meta has not launched anything in this regard despite offering a flame as a clear reference of the Ia Open Source model. And Elon Musk seems to be very busy, because Xai is still working In Grok And for the moment there is no news about a potential variant of reasoning. The only remarkable alternative for the moment is Doubao-1.5-Prothe reasoning model fresh by Bytedance, although it is not available as simple as its competitors. The competition benefits users. The impact of Deepseek R1 on the AI ​​segment has been spectacular as we see. When Openai launched O1 In September 2024 he did it by raising him as a very advanced option but also face: only the subscribers of his services could access it in a limited way. Four months later we are using models that rival O1 but that are totally free and that we can use with more and more options. They are great news for users, which at least for now are benefiting from all that rivalry between these companies. The AI ​​that reasons every time is better and cheaper (or free). A graph Created by Shawn Wang (@swyx) and published in his Newsletter, Latent Space, shows a clear evolution of AI models. In that graph you see how its capacity (measured at LMSYS points, a well -known ranking of AI models) is confronted with its cost per million tokens (ratio 3: 1 entry: exit). Here the right and the right is a model, the better, and Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking seems to be especially well positioned, but this type of graph is changing very quickly. Again, more good news for us, users. In Xataka | Mistral AI is the French startup that opted for efficiency before Deepseek. His future is uncertain

Google has announced he Gemini 2.0 launchtheir new family of AI models. They actually launched experimental versions of Gemini 2.0 Flash in December And above all they showed their preliminary reasoning model, Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking, but now all those movements are consolidated with more mature and stable versions. Best of all, Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking, OpenAi O1 or Deepseek R1is already available as one of the available models In Gemini’s mobile and desktop application. Gemini 2.0 is more “agetic”, and according to Google it can “interact with YouTube, Search and Google Maps.” The company announced these days bittersweet fiscal results: they have more money, users and benefits than ever, But they are on the defensive. SUCTAR PICHAI, CEO of Alphabet, highlighted how the company will invest 75,000 million dollars in AI for 2025, when its CAPEX (capital expenses) in 2023 was 32,300. The decision shows that clear intention to invest but not necessarily to lead, but to try not to be left in front of a competition that also seems willing to spend colossal amounts of money. One of the outstanding notes of this Google announcement is the launch of a Experimental version of Gemini 2.0 Pro. This model, successor of Gemini 1.5 Pro, is more precise and “factual”, and according to Google exceeds clearly to the previous version in programming tasks and mathematics related. Google qualifies Gemini 2.0 pro as “your most capable model so far”, and will be available for GEMINI Advanced subscribers and for those with access to VERTEX AI and AI STUDIO. Together with Gemini 2.0 Pro is Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite, a lighter version that offers more quality in its response than the previous Gemini 1.5 Flash, but that maintains its speed and cost. This model has a gigantic context window (One million tokens) and multimodal support, and for example you can generate a brief description of a line for a set of 40,000 different photos … and all for less than a dollar, indicate those responsible.

FREE QUALITY MEATS TO THE NEW Moms

by

In January a small ray of hope was first seen in South Korea. After years of demographic debacle, the nation finally saw a rising figure breaking a streak of almost a decade. There were 243,000 births, 3.1% more than in 2023. However, for now It served very littleso much that the nation is offering incentives for newborns that no one had heard before. “Favorable” data. As we said, those 243,000 births They are a positive fact, but not so much when we move away to see the map in perspective, since the general data is well below the one handled the country is not so much. In 2024 about 242,000 babies were born in South Korea, but in 2015 they were 444,000 And just a five years ago the 310,000 were touched. In fact and As we explain, the World Bank Group data They show that since the 1960s the nation has seen how its fertility rate sank at an alarming speed: 5.9 in 1960 to 0.8 three years ago. In 2023 he marked a new Historical minimum When staying at 0.72. And there is more. 2024 also left more deaths: they registered 360,757 deathsa 1.93% More than in 2023. Again, the result is a very bad photo General despite the fact that more babies were born in hospitals. Although the population fell to a lesser extent That in 2023, he also descended without the migration balance seems to have solved it. Flexible schedules subsidies. Thus we arrive at the first of the two news of the week in the country. In an attempt to combat the galloping birth crisis, the Government of the city of Suwon and the province of Gyeonggi are implementing innovative programs to support working families and new mothers. As? As of March, Suwon will offer small and medium enterprises subsidies with less than 300 employees that allow the parents of first degree children start working at 10 am This adjustment seeks to relieve the child care burden during a critical stage of school adaptation. Companies that implement this time reduction They can receive up to 600,000 wones ($ 450) per employee for two monthsbenefiting a maximum of 10 employees by company. The program will accept the first 100 applications through the Saebit Toktok application or from the city’s website. In this regard, a city official explained that the initiative aims to help parents support their children at the beginning of their school life without facing salary reductions. Premium meat for new moms. The second measure “star” is possibly more shocking. In this case, the province of Gyeonggi will expand a pilot program that offers Premium meat packages Hanwoo to mothers who register the birth of their children. According to the government, it is an incentive that seeks to support postpartum recovery and foster the consumption of local meat. In this regard and in response to inflation, the budget for each package It has increased from 50,000 to 100,000 Wones, benefiting about 40,000 mothers in 2024. Applications may be made through the Gyeonggi Civil Service 24 platform or in the administrative well -being centers of the participating municipalities. Only one “but”: the initiative will not be available in the main cities of the province, such as Suwon, Seongnam and Goyang, covering only 26 of the 31 cities and counties of Gyeonggi. The last one? bullet. These measures are added to others that we have been telling, such as Hire foreign nannythe municipal appointment programs, that girls begin the school beforeeither The Super Babies. Subsidies and meat Premium They seem to be more focused on making the raising of children more accessible and attractive, encouraging couples to have more children in a country where the aging of the population is, as we said, a more than growing concern.

The new reasoning model lands in the free chatgpt accounts

by

We are witnessing real time of the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI). A little over two years ago we were surprised by the capacities of GPT-3.5the language model behind Chatgptnow we have Reasoning models increasingly powerful at hand. And everything seems to indicate that this industry will continue to evolve. Early today we talked about Microsoft’s decision To make a version of O1 available to Copilot users, a product that had been limited to payment users. A few hours later we have received news from Openai, which A new reasoning model has just launched. It is tata from O3-mini, who has just begun its initial deployment. O3-mini, the new OpenAI reasoning model The latest OpenAi responds to a strategy that we have already seen with GPT-4o Mini. Instead that everything revolves around its flagship, the company promotes a series of models aimed at addressing different needs. In this way, O3-mini is part of the O3 family presented at the end of last yearbut it is focused on speed and efficiency. It should be noted that those led by Sam Altman had already launched in September 2024, and decided to skip O2 apparently for reasons of registered trademarks. So now we are facing a proposal that promises not only for its fantastic scores in different tests, but because it lands in the chatgpt ‘free’ accounts, also in Spain. But what does this mean? Well, reasoning models differ from the rest of the models, such as GPT-4for its ability to Verify thoroughly and step by step your answers. They channel our questions through a “reasoning.” This does not mean that they cannot be wrong, but the answers are much more successful. Reasoning means time, so this type models are not particularly fast. In any case, for certain scenarios in which reasoned responses are needed in a reasonable amount of time, O3-mini could be a great option. For example, to boost certain applications thanks to access through the API. O3-mini is a model that embraces Stem problems. That is, if what you are looking for is to perform a literary essay, this will probably not be the ideal model. Now, if your requests are related to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics It is likely that this reasoning model can give you some more consistent responses to your needs. OpenAI has measured the reaction of users with O3-mini and O1-mini. According to their data, external testers opted for the responses of the most recent model. In addition, O3-Mini reduced the “important errors” in the “difficult questions of the real world” in 39% during A/B tests, surpassing O1-mini. A notable fact for free access. If you have one Pro $ 200 per month You can use the model unlimitedly ” and with a higher speed than free accounts. OpenAI also has a business plan, Chatgpt Enterprise. In this case, users will have to wait until next week to use the company’s latest reasoning model.

Before, it cost $ 20 to be able to use O1. Microsoft has just offered it for free in co -dr

by

Microsoft has given the surprise and offers Free and free access to the O1 reasoning model of OpenAi. Through Copilot. Until now, to access this option you had to pay the $ 20 per month of co -pilot pro or the same amount per chatgpt plus. If we wanted to use it unlimited, we had to pay the 200 dollars a month of Chatgpt Pro. Microsoft calls “Think Deper” to O1 in its services, but this is nothing more than the integration of the OpenAi model into the Redmond platform. Mustafa Suleyman, head of the AI ​​division in Microsoft, announced On Wednesday this change in the services offered by the company. This unique change is undoubtedly due to Deepseek-R1 arrivalwhich offers a fantastic alternative to O1. He does it so much on the web – Perplexity offers it in his “Labs” and He calls it “Sound Reasoning” – also being able to install it at home on our computer in one of its compact versions. Microsoft de fact presume that it can be used without problems on Copilot+PC. Such has been the interest in Depseek-R1 that Microsoft also announced this week that has integrated it as one of the models available in Azure Ai Foundry and Github so that companies and developers can take advantage of it. It is a logical movement on the one hand, but strange on the other: normally Microsoft takes longer to offer new models on its platform, but the popularity of Deepseek R1 has accelerated the deadlines remarkably. Of course this is good news for users, which You can enjoy free access to O1 / Think Deperwhich will further encourage competition between these reasoning models.

In the nth required, the Government has carried out free and reduced fertilizers

by

A week after they disappeared, transport aids have returned. Does it as part of a Decree Law approved by the Council of Ministers and that has the approval of Junts after negotiating with the parliamentary group that The famous Omnibus decree knocked in the Congress of Deputies and that left Spain in confusion in mobility. Last week, the refusal to approve a bus decree presented by the Government and in which the pension rise But, also, transport aid or Moves III Plan Extensionamong many other measures, these subsidies dropped. After a negotiation with junts in which The Government has yielded in two decree (Social measures already approved on the one hand and economic measures, in negotiation, on the other) and accepting the process of the issue of trust But without submitting to it, transport aids will return. A lap a week later Just a week after transportation aids were suspended, they have returned in the expected terms. That is, we will have free fertilizers again and regional aids will be subsidized again up to at least 50% of the cost of fertilizers or multiviaje titles. The latter has undoubtedly been the most problematic part of the suspension of these public transport aid. For Relieve the price of fertilizersThe State forces the discount to be at least half of the original cost of it. Of that 50% discount, the State contributes 30% as long as the City Council or the Autonomous Community put at least the other 20%. The drop in the measure plunged users into a sea of ​​doubts. For more than 20 days, in Spain they have been able to buy multiviaje bonds and titles in half of the price of the same. The aid falls, some autonomous communities, such as Madrid, confirmed that they maintained the aid in their entirety, putting the money that remained in their pocket. Others only confirmed that they maintained their part of the discount but would not support 30% of the State. From tomorrow, with the publication in the BOE, transport aids are subsidized again. In short, you can access the following Aid: Free fertilizer fertilizers, surroundings and medium distance services with origin and destination already predefined. The gratuity of high speed between Alicante and Murcia, Ourense and A Coruña and Segovia and Madrid, as well as the nearby and metric width services of Asturias and Cantabria or the Avant Express service from Barcelona to Tortosa, excluding the origin/destination Barcelona- Tarragona 50% discounts for recurring users of Avant rail services, declared as a public service obligation and 50% reduction to all Multiviaje Avant titles (Plus card fertilizer, Plus 10 card or Plus 10-45 card). Free multiviahe submitted fertilizers and titles in state -owned bus lines. The reduction of at least 50% in the multiviaje titles of urban public transport (including public bicycles), dependent on a town hall or an autonomous community (30% of the reduction was provided by the State). In the Canary Islands and Balearic Islands, urban public transport aid was 100% throughout 2025. That is, for a good part of the month, the fertilizers could be acquired with discount and have been used normally because the user had an acquired right with the Multiviaje title. With the temporary suspension of aid, who have bought a new multiviaje or fertilizer title will have done it without aid, at the same price as before falling aid or an intermediate point (Depending on where they got him). Again, since January 29, the user can return to one of the aforementioned titles with the specified discounts.

the best way to watch free and legal television on your mobile is back stronger than ever

by

Internet piracy is at a critical juncture, with the biggest counterattack from governments, security forces and rights owners that we have seen in many years. Pirated IPTV accounts for most of the attacks, with large police operations to end pirate football and even prison sentences just for sharing a legal signal. Some countries like Spain even contemplate the possibility of fine illegal IPTV users. In the midst of this chaotic situation, many users are returning to the safe side, to legal apps; and the good news is that you don’t have to pay to watch high-quality content completely legally. We have a good example in TDTChannelsan app that has not had a few problems, but is now better than ever. TDTChannels is an app for watch tv for free on our devices and without having to configure anything. In reality, it is an app that uses IPTV technology, but unlike others, it is based on completely legal IPTV lists; That is because the included channels already broadcast openly over the Internet, so the servers of this app do not host any type of pirated content. This app only connects us with the official server that already broadcasts live on the Internet, but it is much easier to use and change between channels. The last time we talked about TDTChannels, its situation was not good, after have been expelled from the Play Store for unknown reasons; Although the app was still available to download from its website and worked without problems, the millions of Spanish users who use Android phones could no longer find it in the official Google store. Fortunately, on December 19, Google backed down, and TDTChannels is again available for download in the Play Store; This way, we just have to enter the store from our mobile phone and search for TDTChannels to download it safely and directly. That’s not the only good news that the TDTChannels development team has for its users. The app started the year with new channelsboth television and radio, available without having to do anything; For example, 101TV Costa del Sol and Noticias Telemundo are now available, in addition to the Elite radio stations. Channels have also been updated so that they are available again, especially some local and regional channels such as 7 La Rioja. Continuing with this pace, TDTChannels also announced an important change in its operation. Specifically, as of the last update lists in W3U format are no longer available; This format for multimedia content is one of those used to share IPTV or music lists, but it is no longer compatible with TDTChannels. Instead, users can continue using lists in M3U format, which are much more popular, in addition to M3U8 and compatible with Enigma.

China is very clear about what it has to do to free itself from US pressure: achieve technological self-sufficiency

by

The geopolitical scenario in 2025 is, if possible, even more uncertain than in 2024. The two protagonists are unquestionably USA and China because they are the two great powers that are disputing world supremacy. And each one of them leads a side with notable allies with whom it shares an evident alignment in the economic, technological and military fields. China’s technological development has been deeply conditioned for more than two years now by the sanctions that the US is deploying and his allies. These bans primarily seek to stop the development of China’s semiconductor industry, but their implications reach many other industries due to the omnipresence of chips, such as the military, robots, electric cars or telecommunications, among others. others. China needs to achieve technological self-sufficiency at any price China’s medium-term economy is at stake. And the world leadership for which it competes with the United States, too. The Government led by Xi Jinping is fully aware of how important it is for its country to put an end once and for all to the dependency that still exists today of many foreign countries from a technological point of view. Precisely this dependency has been taken advantage of by the US to prevent Chinese integrated circuit manufacturers from accessing the most advanced lithography equipment it produces. the Dutch company ASML. “By managing our own affairs well, we can promote the stable and healthy development of China’s economy.” This is the situation in which The Chinese Administration has promoted the holding this Monday of a meeting in which the country’s political and social leaders urged industry executives as a whole to dedicate your resources to the technology sector. Its dual purpose is to materialize new engines of economic growth and promote China’s technological independence under the leadership of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, which will be the institution that will guide the private sector on this path. “By managing our own affairs well, we can promote the stable and healthy development of China’s economy,” has declared Premier Li Qiang. During 2024, the gross domestic product of this country has grown by 5%, and several intensely industrialized regions, including Zhejiang province, aim to grow by at least 5.5% during 2025. The fact that the meeting among Chinese leaders was celebrated on the same day that Donald Trump has returned to the White House It has a marked symbolic character. A fact that is worth not overlooking is that at last Monday’s meeting, in addition to the political and social leaders of China, several very prominent people participated. from the field of science and technology. One of them was Liang Wenfeng, the founder of the investment company High Flyer Quant that backs the startup of artificial intelligence DeepSeek. Wei Hongxing, founder of AUBO Robotics Technology, also participated in this event. What is still not entirely clear is how China is going to act in the face of a probable escalation of the tariffs imposed by the US under the mandate of Donald Trump. We probably won’t have to wait long to check it out. More information | SCMP In Xataka | Historical record for China: its chip industry has produced more than ever in 2024 despite sanctions
