future

I have been on the PS5 for a month. My new console is Netflix and I am clear that it is the future of video games

by

I love video games, but this last month it has been difficult to find a hole to play. I know I’m not alone in thisbut luckily we have many portable platforms (Nintendo Switch 2 He is giving me very good times) with which to play a few minutes when you can, but this last month he has not given me life to play console games on TV. Beyond for the Analysis of ‘Death Stranding 2‘, clear. Now, I have played a lot, and curiously on the platform that I least expected: Netflix. And he has returned to remind me with force that the future does not go through having a console connected to TV: it goes through not having a console and continuing to play video games. And I don’t like the idea at all. 7 tricks to make Netflix the most Turning TV into a console. Netflix does not need a presentation, but from a few years to this part, in addition to having series and movies on its platform, it also has video games. Recently, its application on televisions and devices such as Chromecast HE updated with a new menu which allowed to see more clearly the tab dedicated to video games. Just because, Netflix has mobile video games For a long time, but on TV it is more recent. And it is not that you need much to play them: simply TV, choose the compatible game (it is in beta and something tells me that it will never get out of there) and a mobile. These games are executed in the cloud and, when we click on which we want, we simply scan the QR code that appears on the screen with our mobile and it becomes the game command. So simple. ‘Oxenfree’ is a spectacular adventure The experience. Go ahead that 80% of the few games that Netflix allows you to play on TV convince me rather little. They are not for me, but there are about three or four that I have been playing a lot and I think they are a good gate to the world of video games for people who have not played so far. Because starting to play is very simple and the games that Netflix is ​​testing are nothing demanding with the controls. ESCANES THE QR WITH YOUR MOBILE AND MADE There is a crosshead, a couple of action buttons and voila. It is focusing on more narrative, puzzles or management experiences, and not needing great reflexes are, as I say, a good entrance door. In addition, although image quality is not the best, they work really well in the cloud. The experience and number of servers that Netflix have and is a very satisfactory plug & play experience. The good thing is also that you have games on the mobile included with your subscription. These do have to install them and they are somewhat more complex about their controls (spend something like ‘GTA San Andreas‘ either ‘Katana Zero‘Without a command I see it impossible), but they are quality games and that, as I say, allow someone who pay 8 euros per month and do not have a console or PC can enjoy video games. The command could not be simpler. And that is good The catalog mess. The problem is that, although in recent weeks I had a great time with Netflix’s video games, you never know how long they will last on the platform. Or how much will the platform itself last. This week we learned that, after a very strong bet of Netflix for video games, they were going to start withdrawing some of the best they had. 20% of the catalog disappearsbeing among those who strive balls like ‘Hades‘,’ Katana Zero ‘, the three’Monument Valley‘,’Death’s Door‘or the sublime’Braid‘. It is something that adds to closure of your AAA study In October of last year, which leaves us with the feeling that this great bet that the company made, investing a lot of money on servers, technology, titles such as’ and buying licenses as the aforementioned ‘GTA’ Or studies like Night School, staggers. And it’s strange when His initial bet was extremely upset And little by little, They struggled so that they were taken into account in this video game. But yes, it is the future. I do not mean that the future is Netflix in particular, but to this type of experience. We will see what path Netflix follows after the very bad news of recent days, but as someone who opted for Stadiawho has played a lot to the cloud games of Game Pass and PS Now and enjoy your Steam library with Steam Link and GeForce NowI am clear that the future is not a pot that consumes light and occupies a space in the Tele furniture, but something like Steam Decka Consolidated PC or Nintendo Switch 2 and, to play on TV, the game in the cloud. And think that this will be the future does not mean that I like it, since that implies the definitive death of a physical format that is very touched and that it is, although it does not always happen, the only thing that assures us that the games are ours. Because with the new albums that are launchersthe Game Key Card De Switch 2 or digital games, unfortunately there are more and more examples than The games do not belong to us As it happened before. But that is a topic for another day and something very personal. What I am clear is that someone who did not enjoy video games, with proposals such as Netflix or Amazon Luna They can get into the car. And that is great.

The new obsession in gyms is also a clue about the future of the exercise

by

It is the New Fitness World Fever: competitions that carry exercises and, therefore, very specific training. By comparison, although these exercises settle their bases in traditional training, make crossfit or calisthenics They look outdated or rough. A mixture of unique elements (competition, aesthetics and that philosophy of overcoming and stoicism so fashionable in the latest generation gyms) has become Hyrox In a phenomenon. We analyze Some of your keys. What is it. It is a competition that combines 8 kilometers of career with 8 functional exercises of strength and resistance. The exercises are always the same and include: skiing machine, thrust and drag of sleds, Burpees With long jumps, rowing, weight transport, strides with sandbags and medicinal ball throw. That is, a devastating mixture (but with exercises available to anyone) that combines strength, resistance and general athletic capacity. Worldwide success. Born in 2017 in Germany, in recent years he has experienced a great impulse (globally, more than 650,000 athletes train for competitions, and in 2025 more than 80 global careers are held in more than 30 countries and 85 cities). It currently has a wide margin of future growth: for example, it has just reached areas such as Canada, Australia and the Middle East, and the World Championships of discipline. Spain wants Hyrox. Spain is one of its largest areas of growth. The last edition, in Bilbao, congregated More than 8,000 competitors. In Malaga 2025 11,000 athletes from 40 countries participated, while in Hyrox Barcelona 2025 13,000 athletes were registered and 10,000 finished. In the 2024-2025 season, the discipline exceeded the 40,000 athletes registered in Spainconsolidating the country as one of the European referents in this discipline. The number of participants has grown by 1,900% since the first major national event in 2021, when 2,000 athletes were recorded. The secret of his fame. Why do you like a competition so much that is essentially a traditional fitness vitamin version? His hybrid nature It has a lot to do: the demanding of the competitions forces athletes to prepare not only force, with lifting and movements of large weights, but also resistance, with those eight kilometers that must be traveled between evidence. That makes it a Very complete and varied trainingand where no discipline should not be put aside. And also, without great technical demands: everyone can push a sled. On the other hand, the competition allows group or couples categories, which makes it more affordable. Class pride. Hyrox is one Registered trademarklike so many others associated with fitness. From the very Crossfit itself, which is not a generic word but a brand associated with official competitions and training, the popular Zumba, which has unleashed a real plague of imitators (in the end, it is the old man Gym-Jazz eighties in steroids). All this going through competitions that were ahead of Hyrox, such as Spartan Race or Ironman, and training systems such as F45 Training or Orangetheory Fitness. What does all this mean? That to train and compete in Hyrox you have to pay the fee that Hyrox architects decide to pay. This leads to official gyms and competitions of considerable price (the minimum cost of a career is usually around 70 euros), and by the hand, to the transformation of training into a piece of exhibition of good economic health that distance to Hyrox of formats (not registered) such as calistenia, which can be trained outdoors. Hyrox not only allows to show off a healthy way of life but also a well oxygenated portfolio. Training as Lifestyle. Linked to this last aspect, we have sport as an exhibition mode of a way of life, also vent, to which Hyrox international competitions help, in countries like Berlin or Rome. A circumstance that allows “healthy tourism”: travel to compete, and without neglecting what affirms Álvaro Taracena, CEO of the brand in Spain: “Nobody here looks at you badly for lifting less weight (…) to do something more dynamic, in the end you make friends with whom take“ Hyrox for Influencers. At a time when absolutely everything has to be Instagrameable To succeed, Hyrox has the elements to do so: It is completely training gamified and aimed at a specific objective (compete and improve brands in competitions, no abstractions such as “health”). His name resulton makes him Easy to google and labeland generates a feeling of belonging to a group. And lo Accessible competitions (With team modalities, without time limits) open the doors to anyone looking for more than sweating two days a week without a clear goal. As a business studied to the millimeter, of course, it is one of the elderly that has seen modern fitness Header | Hyrox In Xataka | Marathons are so extreme that our brain makes drastic decisions, how to consume itself

The future of his army goes through augmented reality

by

The Chinese military state has been suffering for years An important process of technological modernization. The country led by Xi Jinping increased by 7.2% its defense budget by 2025, and is currently considered as The third largest military power in the world. For about a decade, China proves augmented and virtual reality technologies for military logistics. One of its most recent strategies goes through the Mars system (Military augmented reality system), one that seems taken from a science fiction film, or the last installment of ‘Call of Duty’. Inside a video game. Soldiers of the popular liberation army have augmented reality devices at their disposal. Teams that allow the units to use this technology to see through the walls, obtain third -party information (drones, colleagues, position of other combat elements, etc.) and expedite combat operations. They have thermal, night vision and cameras to track the environment They are able to delineate humanoid objectives for their best detection They can actually show 3D maps of the territory They label and establish markers shared with other team members They project a digital cross in the eye to point more precision Reading the device functions list, it seems closer to what we would find in ‘Call of Duty’ than what an average user would understand as military technology. Mars technology, from the beginning, is focused for real combat use. Through Chinese networks, such as Bilibili, The design and operation of some recent versions of the device has been seen. In test phase. China has been testing this type of devices for two years, and it is clear that the future of military operations goes through AI. Despite this, it is important to highlight that these types of technologies have not been deployed in real combat, and that both physical impact and cognitive load that entails using them is being studied in depth. They are not just for war. Although the most advanced own devices have combat guidance, China has been using augmented reality for other military purposes for years. In 2023, the Chinese Air Forces made the use of Hololens 2 for Areonautio maintenance tasks. AR devices have also been used for training Paracharidism units and out -of -combat tactical training tasksthrough completely virtual or live environments by augmented reality. An answer to the US. The United States, first military world power, has a calendar similar to that of China. He closed his first contract with Microsoft For system development Ivas (Integrated Visual Augmentation System) In 2018, one that has been in evidence since then. It is the system with which China tries to rival, and one that is also trying to finalize its test phases. The biggest challenge? American soldiers complained about the first final versions (2022) for dizziness, nausea and neck injuries after the continued use of these heavy devices. In 2024, the American army deployed about 3,000 test devices, in this case improved to avoid these problems. Intensive tests are being carried out in this first half of 2025, and conclusive results are expected before the end of the year. It is not the only plan. At the end of 2024, Reuters revealed that China had been using old Versions of the Meta Models for Military Purposes. Specifically, it was pointed out that Chinese investigation institutions linked to the popular liberation army used the publicly available goal model to create a chatbot with military applications called Chatbit. An unauthorized military assistant according to goal, since its technology can only be used with military applications in the United States and some agencies from the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. China as a military superpower. China has been consolidating as a military and nuclear power for years, having deeply modernizing its nuclear arsenal in recent years. He US Department of Defense He estimates that China currently has an arsenal made up of More than 600 nuclear eyeletsand that plans to increase this figure until reaching 1,000 eyelets in 2030. Something that, added to the construction of the largest military center in the world 30 kilometers from the southwest of Beijing, it makes clear the strategic response to the arms development of the United States.

The AI ​​has no future without nuclear energy when even Nvidia has begun to pray to Bill Gates reactors

by

Data centers will be responsible for 10% of the increase in energy demand until 2030, according to the International Energy Agency (IE). The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) What we are living has triggered the proliferation of these facilities In the US, China, Japan, Singapore, India, Germany, Netherlands or Ireland, among other nations. And for the moment there is no indication that invites us to anticipate that this trend will be exhausted in the medium term. A data center dedicated to large AI can exceed 150 MWand, precisely, these are the facilities that are proliferating the most. In fact, in 2024 its global consumption amounted to about 415 TWH, a figure that represents around the 1.5% of global electricity consumption. To solve this challenge and guarantee to data centers the delivery of energy that more and more companies need nuclear. The last one who has done is Nvidia. And is that the company led by Jensen Huang has participated in a financing round Of 650 million dollars to support Terrapower projects, the nuclear energy company founded by Bill Gates in 2006. With this decision NVIDIA adds to the strategy that defends the use of Compact modular reactors (known as SMR for its denomination in English) with the purpose of delivering to the data centers the electricity they need. And, incidentally, put one more leg in a sector with an indisputable growth potential. Terrapower is already building the first Natrium nuclear reactor The nuclear fission reactor that this company has designed is a modular and compact design refrigerated by sodium that uses a molten salts storage system. Because of its characteristics, it is about A fourth generation machine That, according to those responsible, it will be able to generate electricity in half of the cost that a conventional nuclear fission reactor. Whatever the interesting thing is that the first Natrium nuclear reactor in Terrapower is being built in a Wyoming Mining town (USA), and, according to Bill Gates, will be completed in 2030. Nvidia has participated in a financing round of 650 million dollars to support Terrapower projects It sounds good, but we must not overlook that it is a new generation design, so a priori the five years that Terrapower manages seem too optimistic. However, this reactor has an important asset in your favor: on paper Its tuning should be faster and cheaper than that of conventional reactors. In addition, a Spanish public company is participating in the construction of this machine. It is called Ensa (Nuclear Teams, SA), is Cantabrian and has more than five decades of experience in the field of design and manufacturing large components for the nuclear industry. There is no doubt that the fact that Terrapower has decided to ally with it is a boost that will surely reinforce its international image. And, perhaps, he opens the door of other latest generation nuclear energy projects. “This is the first reactor of these characteristics that is manufactured following the highest standards of safety and quality in accordance with the most demanding nuclear regulations,” has declared A Enso spokesman. Interestingly, this Spanish company will participate in The manufacture of the Natrium reactor lid. A last interesting note: currently also intervenes in the construction of ITER (International Thermonuclear Experctor reactor), The experimental reactor of nuclear fusion that an international consortium led by Europe is pointing in the French town of Cadarache.

A new future for Openai is opening. And Microsoft is increasingly out of it

by

Things are not going well between Microsoft and OpenAi. What in 2019 began as a promising idyll Waters six years later, and both companies have been looking for their own way. The break is not definitive, but that process begins to be delicate and is making them begin to get the dirty rags of the relationship. Growing tension. In The Wall Street Journal They point how “tensions are reaching a boiling point.” One of the factors that contributes to the current situation is Openai’s intention to become a profit company. The current existing agreement that defines Microsoft’s participation in OpenAI is a reason for dispute. Microsoft wants more. The central debate is what participation Microsoft will have if Openai becomes a profit company. According to the WSJ, Microsoft is asking for a greater participation than Openai is willing to give it. If OpenAi does not complete your conversion before the end of the year, It takes a risk to lose 20,000 million dollars. Dangerous accusations. According to sources close to these companies, Openai managers They have accused Microsoft of anticompetitive behavior during his business alliance. Thus, while in Openai they claim that Microsoft did not offer all the computing capacity he could, In Microsoft they protested Because Openai did not give access to their most advanced models quick enough. New girlfriend. Openai soon began to look alternatives and new brides. He found one that has in fact promised much more than Microsoft gave Openai. It’s about softbankwhich will theoretically invest 40,000 million dollars in Sam Altman’s company and will contribute to Gigantic Stargate Project. On the one hand they say one thing … In a joint statement cited in WSJ, those responsible for Microsoft and Openai pointed out that “we have a long -term productive alliance that has offered incredible AI tools for all. Negotiations continue their course and we are optimistic when continuing to create things together in the future.” … but on the other they do another. OpenAI intends to close the acquisition of Windsurf for 3,000 million dollars. However, the agreement with OpenAI indicates that Microsoft has access to all the intellectual property of Openai. And the problem is that the latter does not want Microsoft to have access to Windsurf’s intellectual property. They already have Github Copilot, and it seems that in Openai they are not willing to make Microsoft take advantage of that acquisition to improve their own platform. And meanwhile, they compete more and more. Microsoft has access to OpenAi models, but also Ear money Every time someone uses chatgpt. Sam Altman’s company continues to benefit from the gigantic infrastructure of Azure and his computing capacity. And yet, both have been taking steps to “decouple”. Microsoft continues to work In its own AI models —Phi 4 continues to progress – for example, and OpenAi is still looking for new partners And he is drilling Even with Google to also be able to take advantage of its cloud infrastructure. In Xataka | The Microsoft Agreement with OpenAI was just a first step. What they want (probably) is to get rid of them

Huawei wants cars to drive alone in the future. So he is already devising how to hide the steering wheel

by

China wants Lead the car race of the futureand for this he will need to win in Battery developmentimplementation of own semiconductorsvehicle software and … Autonomous driving. The country led by Xi Jinping is doing Check In several of these pillars, and Huawei assumes a good part of these victories. The company has been working for years to lead technologies associated with electric cars, and autonomous driving is one of the keys that characterize it. Related to it (and related to how Huawei understands luxury in cars that have their technology), we have clues about what their future proposals will be like. A steering wheel that hides. On June 6, Shenzhen Yinwang Intelligent Technology Co., LTD (subsidiary mostly participated by Huawei) registered a design patent before the National Office of Intellectual Property of China. This application refers to a retractable steering wheel, capable of being hidden in the command post. Once hidden. The patent does not refer to the exact operation, but shows a key related to its purpose: how the seat moves back when the steering wheel folds. The possible uses. Huawei has not detailed the scenarios of use, but there is a quite clear one: that when entering and leaving the vehicle, the steering wheel folds. Although the first thing that comes to mind has to do with Autonomous driving, The objective of the patent would also be related to the gain of space in the cabin. Relaxing the autonomous driving steering wheel is possible, but reserved for a very specific group of vehicles: those that have capabilities Autonomous conduction of type L4 and L5. Currently, there is not a single car in the world with these capabilities that we can buy as private users. In China, it is reserved for robotaxis like Baidu Apollo Goor the Waymo Alphabet in the United States. Vehicles with very restricted circulation and closed fleets. What is Yinwang and what does it do. Founded in January 2024, Shenzhen Yinwang Intelligent Technology Co., LTD is a subsidiary of Huawei under its majority participation. The remaining 20% ​​is in the hands of Avat (An independent manufacturer that is sold in Huawei’s own stores in China and has Huawei Harmonyos and Technologies) and Group beings. Born to transform the Huawei Intelligent Automotive Solution (Hias) division into one of the main technology providers for electric and autonomous cars. Yinwang is responsible for manufacturing and supplying smart systems for vehicles: algorithms, sensors, integration of harmonyos adapted to automotive, control of car elements such as thermal management, suspension or braking, etc. Among his clients are brands such as Aito, Luxeed or Avat, who enjoy Huawei technologies. How house with Huawei’s strategy. Huawei’s role in the world of electric car is different from rivals such as Xiaomi. Huawei does not make electric carsdevelops the necessary technologies for China to lead them. Ren Zhengfei, founder of the company, showed his rejection of commercial terms such as “Huawei Aito”, and made it clear that his plan is to associate with different companies to provide them with their automotive solutions. At the moment, he has managed to associate with giants like Chery to provide the Luxeed S7 of autonomous parkingfight to win the career of faster electric car loaderand collaborate with Aito To provide him with his software. Patents, patents are. It is important to clarify that the registration of a patent does not have to translate into an exact materialization of the idea collected.

Samsung is playing his future with the Galaxy S26 processor. Exynos 2600 is in critical phase

by

Samsung needs a plan to make its chips cast competitive again. Korean sources They point out that the smartphone industry giant is working on its new Exynos 2600 processor, with the aim of installing it in the Galaxy S26 series next year. It will be your first processor manufactured in the process of two nanometers, something that translates quickly: risk. The race for the two nanometers. We know Samsung It has been drawing a plan for years Not to be the last in the career of the two nanometers. Kye Hyun Kyung, general director of the Samsung semiconductor division, predicted in 2023 that his company would exceed TSMC and its other competitors (Intel) over the next five years. It is something that They also predicted in Intel. But, except geopolitical crisis in Taiwan and While China works on its own UVE lithography teamsTSMC seems simply unbeatable for now. Samsung, Intel and TSMC will begin this 2025 the massive production of chips with 2NM lithographic process, but the starting points are very different. Samsung keeps moving forward, but slowly. Korean sources point out that Samsung Foundry has started mass production of exynos 2600 chip TSMC 2nm lithography. In Europe it is key to be a leader (or at least, be up to it) in semiconductors for smartphones. Samsung has not taken long to give up its own processors when the performance has not been enough, and has even made artificial distinctions between members of their family S: in 2023 the S24 arrived with exynos, The ultra model, with Qualcomm. It is not being easy. Samsung has reached a 50% wafer performance for its 2 nm lithography. They remain far from the minimum necessary (70%) to make it viable to produce it on a large scale, but there is still more than half a year for the end of 2025. On the other hand, both Intel and TSMC They have shown confidence in which their nodes have enough maturity to enter mass production. In fact, TSMC already has its eyes on its 1.4 nm lithographyscheduled for 2028. Samsung will have to demonstrate that your They cannot afford to lose. Samsung He is losing money with his semiconductor division. Business Post Korea sources They collected a rumored complete restructuring of the samealready 2024 we knew that Samsung Electronics had delayed reception of some of the key ASML teams for its new chips plant in Taylor Texas. This plant is Samsung’s trick to attract US clients who do not want to depend on Taiwan or Korea. The sources pointed out that their facilities were not yet prepared to house EUV systems, fundamental to manufacture under advanced lithographic processes. Both this new factory and the lithography of 2 Nm will be key for the Samsung division to face the current situation. At a time when China drives its own nodes with SMIC and ASML faces restrictions to sell your most advanced machinesthe global industrial balance in chips depends on how many players can manufacture in this process. Future steps are already given. At the end of 2024, Samsung made the greatest change ever made in its dome. It is a movement that talked about Samsung’s position both in semiconductors and in key components to fight with giants such as SK Hynix (DRAM memories, NAND, HBM, etc.), One of the main HBM memories suppliers for NVIDIA. To lead, Samsung needs customers, and to attract them you need to recover your competitiveness. This is no longer only technical or economic: it is also geopolitical. Samsung not only competes for buyers, but for being a strategic partner for the West, a reliable alternative to TSMC. With Google betting on TSMC and abandoning exynosThe company needs to give a blunt message: launch its S26 family with its own processor.

China has just uploaded one of the keys to the future of its chips. It is a very elegant response to the US

by

At the end of May, the US administration took a new step in its strategy to stop the Chinese semiconductor industry. After verifying that preventing access to its technology had not been enough to stop the country’s progress led by Xi Jinping, he decided Block EDA software exports. This software is essential to automate the design and key processes that allow progress in the manufacture of semiconductors and in the development of new lithographic technologies. China has taken less than two weeks to move and make your progress public. The context. On May 29, the United States notified the three giants of the EDA software industry (Cadence, Synopsys and Siemens) that They had to cease their services to Chinese groups. These three companies control more than 74% of the global market of these tools. In an attempt to isolate China from a fundamental element to advance in the semiconductor career, the Trump administration attacked one of the few flanks that remained to torpedo. The first answer. The reaction of Chinese software manufacturers EDA was immediate. Yang Lianfeng, president of one of the three main national companies in the sector, described the US decision as “The best development opportunity in history”. The Trump administration maneuver, which sought to close a door to China, ended up promoting the actions of national companies and accelerating processes that had been developing for years. Processes that, inevitably, they would culminate in a self -sufficient industry. The next step, upload to github. One of the particularities of EDA software is its closed nature. China has been keeping its advances in this field with zeal but, after the United States movement, it has not taken long to respond. The Chinese Academy of Sciences, one of the main scientific institutions of the country, has published in GitHub A document in which he explains his advances with Qimeng. This software uses Chinese language models to automate processes in semiconductor manufacturing. The development team states that it can do in days what a human team would have been for weeks. It is important to emphasize that Qimeng is an academic Open-Source project, without industrial purposes. However, Timming has been perfect. The small mouth. Modesty is a characteristic feature of Chinese philosophy. This was shown by Ren Zhengfei, leader of Huawei, publicly recognizing that His chips are a year behind those of the United States. The Academy itself has adopted a similar position, ensuring that (for the moment) its performance is comparable to the Intel proposals in the 1990s and Arm architectures of the 2010. The documentation also highlights the current challenges in the current design of semiconductors, including limited resources, ecosystem diversity and restrictions on the manufacture of this technology. China has a lot to show. It is quite naive to think that China’s current point in EDA software is just comparable to solutions ten years ago. If an academic and open source project is at this point, that of the Chinese EDA giants will have enough to demonstrate. The country is working in silence to Achieve self -sufficiency In an essential field to lead in semiconductors, and make part of their advances public is a clear message that they are working patiently. The country, comparing its product with the American, shows a deep respect for rival knowledge and wisdom (China has even a character to reflect this, and it is the Zhì 智), while making clear its pragmatism: if they cannot access the tool, they will create it themselves.

China is giving them to control the future standard

by

It is no longer enough to chat with AI. We want you to do things for us, and AI agents They promise precisely that. It is the new frantic race in which everyone competes, but attentive because the Chinese strategy is overwhelming. Chinese ia agents everywhere. In recent months, large technology companies and Chinese startups have launched various AI agents. Among the protagonists are the still small Butterfly Effect and Zhipu, who have “deep research” agents that manage Openai Deep Research to overcome in Some metrics. And they are added giants such as Alibaba or Bytedance, who have announced agents based on their foundational models. Machine, do everything for me. Those agents are of all kinds. There are as we say dedicated to deep research – “make me a report of the current state of X” -, but also to areas such as travel planning or, of course, the development of the Autonomous Code with the supervision of a human programmer. Four protagonists. As they point out In Rest of Worldalthough there are several Chinese companies working on this type of technology, there are four that are now outstanding: Manus (Butterfly Effect) Quark (Alibaba) Autogglm Rumination (Zhipu) Coze (bytedance) But they are cheaper … At least, competitively and if we attend to its benefits. Manus It has a subscription of 199 dollars a month to use its AI agent. That gives access to a certain number of credits (19,900) to execute tasks autonomously. OpenAI and its Chatgpt Pro plan It also costs 200 dollars, but it is more a conversational assistant with deep analysis, programming and research, but at the moment it does not offer that guidance to Agent of Autonomous that allows you to complete tasks from the beginning to the end, which is what Manus presumes. … or free. Zhipu, one of the most promising AI startups in China, launched its agent, called Autogglm Rumination. Demo videos showed how it served to compare services prices of food sendingbut also to generate Research reports through web searches. The agent is based on Zhipu’s reasoning model (GLM-Z1-AIR) and its founding model (GLM-4-AIR-0414). The company presumes that its reasoning model is as good as Deepseek R1, but it runs up to eight times faster and only needs 1/30 of the resources used by its competitor, which was already considered especially efficient. That is important, but this particular agent It is free. Bytedance. Something similar happens With Cozethat more than an AI agent is a platform to create ia agents and bots in a relatively simple way. The proposal is similar to the one Openai offers with its personalized GPS store, but here the objective is to create the aforementioned agents of the IA specifically oriented to what the user needs. And it’s free. Spectacular growth. These Chinese ia agents are having a spectacular success in the market. It is demonstrated by the statistics of mobile apps that have precisely come out to boost them. Quark, from Alibaba, has 149 million monthly active users and is in the world top 6 In just a few months. Other AI platforms such as Doubao (more than 100 million monthly active users) or Deepseek make more than 325 million users among the three. This remembers Android. There is a curious simile, and it is that of how Android managed to conquer mobile telephony with that “free” model – for users, not for manufacturers – that allowed it to grow like foam. Startups and large AI companies in China also offer free access to these AI agents and platforms with that same goal: to gain volume and end up becoming de facto standards. But chatgpt also follows that strategy. That tactic of offering access to AI models for free is not something new: Chatgpt has been doing it since it went on the market, and here the Freemium model is absolute dominator. You can use part of the functions in a limited way without problems, But if you want to use more, you have to pay. Its rivals – Gemini, Claude, etc. – follow the same scheme, and in the meantime we won we users.

Next June 3 gives the exit gun in several autonomous communities to the University Access Test (PAU).

Its result will mark the decision of university careers those who can access. On the other hand, 75% of companies ensure Not find qualified personnel For vacancies due to lack of specialized training, which denotes a mismatch between preferences in university studies that are taken and real needs of companies.
