The last one signs Google “raising” his commitment to Vibe Coding

by

Openai is at a key moment. On the one hand it has the entire technological industry pending its next great revolution with GPT-5its next language model that will boost Chatgpt and the rest of its AI tools. However, it is also in the midst of a bloody battle to stay for the best talent in ia. Goal has already been shown taking several of his top minds. Now Google has also moved card taking the founders of Windsurfthe company in which Openai had put an eye To buy for about 3,000 million dollars. Google’s master play. This Friday, Windsurf confirmed The play with the departure of the CEO, Varun Mohan, and the co -founder Douglas Chen, along with several key researchers of the startup that has promoted, together with cursor, the ‘Vibe Coding‘. The operation, valued at 2.4 billion dollars, includes a non -exclusive license of Windsurf technology, but leaves out any participation in the company. It is the classic “Reverse-Acquihire” that allows technological giants to take talent without awakening regulatory alarms. The context of the debacle. Openai had been negotiating the purchase of Windsurf for months, a startup that had fired its annual revenues up to 100 million dollars in April, multiplying its turnover in a few months. However, the operation had generated internal tensions between Openai and Microsoftits largest investor, since OpenAi wanted to prevent its partner from having access to Windsurf programming technology. This blockade in the agreement with Microsoft caused the purchase not to continue. In this way, when the period of exclusivity expired Openai had agreed with Windsurf to negotiate his purchase this Friday, Google did not hesitate to enter with an offer that Openai could not match. Talent bleeding. Meanwhile, goal continues to execute its burned land strategy in the AI labor market. The Zuckerberg company is offering salary packages ranging from 10 to 100 million dollars to star researchers, an unprecedented escalation that has triggered the salaries of the sector 50% since 2022. The goal is to sign 50 experts to lead their new Superintelligence Laboratoryafter the stumbling blocks of his calls and the exit of key figures such as research director Joelle Pineau. The company has already taken to several topnai top minds to his superintelligence laboratory, and has done the same with many other companies, as is the case of AI star engineer in Apple, Zhifeng Chen. Between the lines. Windsurf loss is especially painful for OpenAI because it represented its direct entry into the developer tool market, where Github co -ilot Microsoft dominates with authority. It was a way of diversifying its business beyond Chatgpt and competing in a niche that is experiencing explosive growth thanks to the tendency to program with the help of AI. Google moves file on an increasingly competitive terrain, making Openai’s strategy difficult in this segment. The pressure intensifies. The situation becomes more complex when the competitive context is analyzed. Anthropic has managed to significantly boost his income thanks to Claude Codeits programming tool, while startups as cursor (valued at 10,000 million) and Replit continue to gain ground. Google has now also entered full of offering programming tools promoted by AI, and many as many as XAI with Grok also They have announced Wanting to participate in this wave with a code specialized model that is expected to launch in August.

An earthquake has shaken the coast of Almeria. And Middle Andalusia has learned thanks to Google

by

An earthquake of magnitude 5.5 located in Almeria waters has shaken multiple locations Andalusians in Almería, Granada, Jaén and areas of the Spanish Levante such as Murcia. Along with it, thousands of Android mobile users have received an unknown notification to date: a directly related to the detection of farms. The earthquake. According to information from National Geographic Instituteat 7:13 a.m. on July 14, there has been an earthquake of magnitude 5.4 to two kilometers deep in the corporal of sticks, having special incidence in populations of the Andalusian coast. The consequent replicas have lasted until 8:49, with intensities of 3.4 and 2.7. Local media They report that at the moment there have been no consequences of gravity, ensuring the 112 that “no damage to the region has been notified by the earthquake.” The message. Virtually immediately, Android phones have issued an automatic notification to thousands of phones through Google Play services. This alert is framed within the Google seismic detection system, Shakealert. In it, the estimated magnitude of the earthquake is noticed as well as recommended practices to keep us safe in earthquake cases. Through a map, both the time and distance from the earthquake are shown, with the possibility of consulting the latest updates through the same section. How it works. Google’s Seísos alert System It is more than curious. In the United States (California, Washington and Oregon) uses a network of 1675 seismic sensors to detect tremors and earthquakes. Outside these territories, the seismographs are our own phones through the accelerometer. If a phone detects movement changes that can be interpreted as an earthquake, send a signal to the Google server. At that time, the server combines this signal with that of other phones to try to find out if an earthquake is taking place. In case of determining what is taking place, an alert is sent on two levels. The key to using this system is that it works predictively. In fact, Google warns that these notifications can reach even before the earthquake occurs. The alerts. The network of more than 2,000 million Android devices, according to Google, acts as a minisismographers front capable of giving precise data on the earthquake. In the event that the alert is of 4.5 or higher scale (in MMI scale, no Richter, here is measured in surface perceived, not energy released from the epicenter), a strong sound alarm is sent ignoring the modes not to disturb and lighting the screen. If the alert is of lower magnitude, such as the one lived today, only an informative notification is sent. What about Es-alert. The doubts that have assaulted upon receiving the alarm have to do with the alternative system we have in Spain: Es-alert. Here we have a system with three levels of alert and civil protection as in charge of sending the notification through Cell Broadcast (radio emission without having active mobile data). System Who detects Who sends the alert How the alert is sent You need Internet connection Android Earthquake Alerts System Android phones themselves, through their sensors Google Push notifications Yeah es-alert National Geographic Institute (IGN) Civil defense Radio emission (Cell Broadcast) No In this case, Es-Alert has not worked. The system is active, working, and detecting cases Like fire in Tarragonabut it is Civil Protection who determines the supposed severity of the phenomenon and whether or not notification is to be sent. The legal framework. A Law 17/2015, of July 9, of the National Civil Protection System determines that only the competent authorities can issue official alerts: Civil Protection, Aemet, IGN or the communities and municipalities themselves. Private companies cannot issue official alerts … but they can send private notifications that do not violate any law. That Android informs you about a possible earthquake It does not differ too much than the time app I inform you that it is raining in your area. Google notices do not supply these official notification systems, act as an informative complement to the official framework. Here the debate enters into the own responsibility of a private company to alert the population of a gravity event as an “unofficial” earthquake. One that clashes with the slowness (or direct inactivity according to circumstances) of national systems in specific cases like this.

Google has a new and huge transatlantic underwater cable. One that will connect Santander with the United States

by

If you are reading this it is because you are connected to the Internet, and if you are connected to the Internet it is because there are on the seabed true highways of huge fiber cables that interconnect the world. Submarine cables are really fascinating and In Spain we have a few. Well today we have to add another: Sol, the new Google transatlantic submarine cable that will connect our country with the United States. From Santander to Florida. Sol will be Google’s second submarine cable that will connect Spain with the United States. It will be, in fact, the only fiber optic cable between Europe and Florida. The cable, which will have 16 pairs of fiber optic cables, will be manufactured in the United States, will connect to the Google Cloud region in South Carolina and will be deployed from Palm Coast, Florida. It will pass through the Bermuda Islands, then it will reach the Azores and, finally, it will land in Santander thanks to the infrastructure provided by The Spanish Telxius. 10 Google applications that could have triumphed Scheme of the Sun and Nuvem cables | Image: Google In detail. This cable will be added to the facilities already available, such as Nuvem, Firmina either Equianto establish connectivity centers in the Atlantic. The idea, they explain from Google, is that Sol and Nuvem complement themselves to “contribute a double transatlantic resilience.” Nuvem is a sun -like cable: it leaves South Carolina, passes through Bermuda and arrives in Europe through Portugal. The idea is to offer two interconnected systems on land to increase the reliability and capacity of the system. That is, provide redundancy and security. So that? According to the company, the objective of displaying this cable is to improve the integration of the Google Cloud Region of Madrid With the entire network, as well as reinforce the global network that, for the moment, is composed of 42 regions. According to Google in a statement issued to media: “(Sun deployment) will help meet the growing demand for Google Cloud and IA services by its customers in Europe, the United States and other regions, adding capacity, increasing reliability and reducing latency for Google users and Google Cloud customers worldwide.” Grace Hopper deployment in 2021 | Image: Google The second Google cable in Spain. France, Ireland, England, Spain and Portugal are, for obvious reasons, the main European ports of submarine cables. In Spain we have some very important as Tide, Andjana and Grace Hopper. Tide is owned by Meta, Telxius and Microsoft, connects Bilbao with Virginia Beach and measures 6,605 kilometers. The Brutal Andjana is owned by Meta, measures 7,121 kilometers, has 24 pairs of fibers, a capacity of 500 Tbps and connects Europe with the United States. Grace Hopper, meanwhile, is the first cable that Google installed on our borders. It is one of the longest: with its 7,191 kilometers, Grace Hopper connects Bilbao with Bellport (United States) and Bude (England). The longest? Although cables such as Sol, Marea, Grace Hopper and company are a prodigy, the reality is that they are not the most impressive. They do not shade in terms of distance to 2AFRICAan international submarine cable surrounding the coast of Africa to connect Europe and the Middle East. It is a mamotreto of 16 pairs of fibers, 180 Tbps of capacity and a length of 45,000 kilometers that connects 46 service stations in 33 countries. It is expected to be finished by the end of this year.

This is the goal plan that has stolen brains to OpenAi and Google

by

Mark Zuckerberg is distributing checks as if there were no tomorrow. The Meta CEO announced yesterday a great restructuring of its artificial intelligence division, which now aims to “superintelligence.” And to reach it, Zuckerberg is stealing engineers from OpenAi, Anthropic and Google with a carver. Restructuring with two star signings. The new division of the company is called the SuperintenTintelligence Labs (MSL) goal, and will be led by Alexandr Wang, Excel of Scale AI. That has been the first star signing of Zuckerberg, which decided to invest 14.3 billion dollars in that company to buy an important participation (49%) but above all to get Wang’s services. The second great signing is Nat Friedman, Exceiver of githubwhich will co -direction that new division with Wang and will focus according to the statement on AI products and also in R&D. The internal statement, to which it has had access Bloomberg And that also shares CNBCreveals more interesting details. Up to 100 million bond. To form this new team, Meta has offered bonds of up to 100 million dollars to the most important engineers of other companies. The salaries and compensation offered in detail are not known, but the figures are simply astronomical. In Bloomberg they point out that the company has offered some investigators shares worth dozens of millions of dollars. Stealing employees to the greats of AI. The engineers who have managed to sign a goal They come from OpenAIGoogle, Deepmind and Anthropic. These are experts who have been the great ones responsible for developing and training products such as GPT-4O, Gemini 2.5 or Claude, and precisely that experience is the one that goal wants to take advantage of making a definitive qualitative leap when it comes to dominating the market. Media like Wired have A list With 11 of those star engineers. And Lecun, what? In that internal statement, however, There is a name that is not mentioned and that is especially relevant. We talk about Yann Lecunthat until now had been visible head of the efforts of the finish line. Lecun has been making it clear that the generative AI It is not the valid path To achieve artificial superintelligence or an AGI. His speech It has always been almost “anti -judicial”, and has been Very critical With the ability of current models, although it has always supported the launch of IA Open Source models, of which Llama is the greatest exponent. Better spend a fortune than regret it later. According to Bloomberg Zuckerberg, he stated that Meta will spend “hundreds of billions of dollars” in AI projects in the coming years. Last summer He already indicated that “it is very likely that many companies are oversizing (their investments in AI). But, on the other hand, I think that all the companies that are investing are making a rational decision, because the disadvantage of being left behind is that you could stay out with the most important technology of the next 10 to 15 years.” And there are also the data centers. Although there are no specific figures on the amount of money that has been spent on salaries and compensation for all that new division, the single investment in Scale AI (14.3 billion) and those hypothetical bonds of tens of millions of dollars already make clear the dimension of the bet. But that’s not all: Mark Zuckerberg himself already indicated months ago that this 2025 plan to invest 65,000 million dollars In data centers. It is a “shy” figure in front of the 75,000 What does Google plan to invest, 80,000 from Microsoft or the 100,000 Millions of dollars that Amazon estimates that it will invest in these facilities for training and inference of AI. Call on the one hand, new models for another. Zuckerberg also explained in the statement how he has a lot of confidence in the progress of flame 4.1 and calls 4.2, which are the goal base AI. However, he says that “in parallel, we will begin to investigate in our next generation of models.” But. The truth is that today calls is an absolute reference for researchers and startups that create their own projects from it, but its performance is behind the most capable models today. Meta has not achieved that the integration of Goal AI in WhatsApp or Instagram I just turned it into a preferential option for AI users, and Chatgpt remains the clear clear in this area. One thing is money and another mission. This “galactic” team can have a problem as Chon Tang explained, of the Berkeley Skydeck Investment Fund, having billionaire salaries can be counterproductive in the Meta Mission In Xataka | The cover of the AI ​​is a goal. He has been betting on her for more than a decade and has much more than she calls

Minoxidil looked like the great miracle medication against baldness. A pharmaceutical company financed by Google has just overcome it

by

The fight against alopecia is A thriving market. The first laboratory to achieve the “miracle treatment” that manages to avoid or reverse androgenic alopecia (conventional hair loss associated with age) could take a lucrative prize comparable with the success of formulas such as Ozempic. One of the best positioned laboratories in this race seems to be Pelage Pharmaceuticals. Preliminary results. A few days ago, the Pelage Pharmaceuticals laboratory announced “positive” preliminary results in the second phase of its clinical trials of the compound PP405. According to its announcement, the formula showed a quick and statistically significant response in these trials. PP405. The compound developed by this company, pp405, is designed for topical application and with the aim of reactivating latent follicular stem cells (HFSC), thus allowing the restoration of hair growth. According to Explain the laboratorythese cells usually alternate latency and activity cycles when they work conventionally. However, with age or in response to certain external or internal stimuli, these cells can be “blocked” in the sleeping phase of this oscillation. As highlighted, this state of latency does not imply its disappearance or loss of viability. Test treatment seeks to “restore the regenerative capacity” of these follicles, which entails the recovery of capillary growth. 78 participants. Preliminary results published by the company They belong to phase 2a of clinical trials of the compound. It is a randomized and controlled study in which 78 participants, men and women with androgenic alopecia have taken part. The participants were divided between the experimental group and control group or placebo: the participants of the experimental group applied the compound in their scalp for four weeks; while the control group received a placebo. After four weeks of application, a 12 weeks were monitored to check the effects on the participants. Results. The results now presented do not correspond to those obtained after the essay but to their eighth week (after four weeks of treatment and four subsequent monitoring). The responsible team observed that among men with more advanced baldness, 31% Of these they showed a 20% increase in capillary density. They stood out for this reason the speed of the response to treatment, at least in principle faster than that observed in contemporary treatments. A crucial difference. However, the key to this treatment was in its effect on inactive follicles. The experiment showed regenerative potential both in the areas of weak growth and in the areas where the hair was no longer growing. The treatments we have in the present are useful when reinforcing growth in weakened but active follicles, not those that have already fallen in a state of latency. “These early clinical results reinforce the potential of our approach to go beyond the slowdown of the hair loss process and directly attack the hair follicle tegeneration,” pointed in a press release Christina Weng, medical director of Pelage Pharmaceuticals. A long way to go. The results are preliminary and correspond to a study conducted in a limited sample, so we will have to wait for the company to give new data on the drug evaluation process. According to the laboratorythe last stage of this process, phase 3 of clinical trials, could begin in 2026. The support of a giant. The origin of the project is in the work carried out in the last decade by researchers at the University of California Los Angeles and other institutions. According to the company, the development achieved the support of investors led by Google Ventures.

17 functions and some trick of the Google mobile operating system

by

We bring you a list with 16 android functions 16 That you will be able to try, including some tricks to make the most of them. This version of Android has already reached Pixel mobiles, so we can start exploring the functions it brings. In this article We are going to focus on the novelties and new functionsleaving a little aside those that were already in another system. Therefore, the intention is that if you have received this update or when you receive it, you can know what is new. Only a small warning before starting, and when Android 16 begins to arrive to other manufacturers it is possible to do it modified. Each manufacturer uses their own customization layer, so they can modify Android. With this, some functions may not be, and it is possible that others were already before. The main novelty is an absence The main surprise with which the first to receive this update in their pixel is that The main novelty of Android 16 has not been included. This new version has almost no new functions, and its main trick is the complete redesign of the appearance with Material 3 Expressivethat has not yet arrived and it seems that he will have to wait. Android live updates The first major novelty are the Android live updateswhich have arrived with the new version. These are special notifications that will show you in real time the status of the process of an app, such as how much is missing for the food you have requested through the Internet. The point is that This function is not available for all applicationsbut it must be the developers who adapt their apps to take advantage of. Notifications with live updates will appear in the notification panel, on the lock screen and on the screen always on. More notifications control Android 16 Forces the notifications that come from the same application. In this way, when you are in the notification panel, above the right You will see the number of notifications of each app In the event that there are more than one. You can click on this issue to expand and see all notifications better. And speaking of notifications, when you receive a lot of them from the same application in a short time of time, Android 16 automatically reduces the alert volume for a minute. Come on, instead of sounding a waterfall of notifications, they will be silenced a bit temporarily. Unified PHOTO SELECTOR for apps Android has added a function for Use a unified photo selector in apps. This means that, when you are going to load a photo in an app, instead of having each one a unified selector that opens your mobile photo gallery in a pop-up. The good news is that this will do everything more aesthetic and simple, and that access to the gallery is improved considerably. The bad news is that it is an API and It depends on developers Integrate this function into your applications. Language adjustment with more options Using the mobile in one country or in another is not always a matter of language, there are also other aspects to take into account. Therefore, on Android 16 in the options of Language and region You can change several regional preferences such as Temperature units, the measurement systemor the first day of the week. For example, in some countries the week begins on Sunday instead of Monday, and the temperature can be measured in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius, while the system of measures can be metric, American and British. You will be able to change all this. Tricks for the Viewer of apps in the background When you slide the finger down the screen on the screen, go to the visitor of execution applications. Here, When you click on an app icon A menu appears with several options, such as dividing the screen. In Android 16 The option to get a screen capture has been added to the app without entering it, directly from this viewfinder. It has also been included one option of Selectwhich serves to choose a concrete part of the screen of this app where to get the screenshot instead of removing it from the entire screen. You will even be able select the screen text of an app and copy it Without having to enter it, only with the preview that appears on this screen. Without a doubt something that at specific times can save you some time. Configure double touch When you press twice in the ignition button, the camera opens. However, in many Android 16 mobiles it allows you to choose between the camera or Google Wallet in the event that you have it configured. So, You will have two options for this gestureand you can choose the one that best suits you from the section of Gestures In the section System of the configuration.

A solar energy company has sued Google for the AI ​​of its search engine: it was invented that they were scammers

by

Google’s search engine is not just a search engine. Since Google began to integrate the “ai overViews” function, it is also A chatbot with artificial intelligence that answers the questions of the users without clicking on any link. The problem is that the underlying technology, the great language models, work probabilisticly, so they tend to invent the answer when they are not clear how to answer. A credible lie. This time, an invented response from AI Overviews can end up sitting Google on the bench. The plaintiff is Wolf River Electric, a Minnesota solar energy company. And the origin of the lawsuit is, the redundancy is worth, a demand that never existed. In Xataka Chatgpt is taking some people to the edge of madness. Reality is less alarmist and much more complex According to the lawyers of the energy company, the search for the terms “demands against Wolf River Electric” in Google made it AI responded with defamations. They cite a case in which AI Overviews replied that Wolf River Electric had been sued by Minnesota attorney for “deceptive sales practices”, such as lying to customers about how much they will save and deceive the owners to sign contracts with hidden rates. The AI ​​presented the case with total confidence involving four of the company’s managers by name: Justin Nielsen, Vladimir Marchenko, Luka Bozek and Jonathan Latcham, coming to show a photo of Nielsen next to the false accusations. To support his statements, the AI ​​cited four links: three news articles and a statement from the attorney general. However, none of the links mentioned a lawsuit against Wolf River Electric. It is not the first time. This type of error It is known as “hallucination”and it is very common in language models for how their response are weaving through the prediction of the following words, sometimes dragging the initial error until it becomes a credible lie with all kinds of invented ramifications, as in the play of the pickled phone. When Google began to integrate Ai Overview in the search engine, he had to withdraw it from some searches, especially recipes and nutrition, because he recommended Add glue to pizza Or eat a stone a day to stay healthy. An answer per question. Wolf River Electric states that, due to what they read in the AI ​​Overviews, several clients canceled their contracts, valued at up to $ 150,000. The problem is that Ai overViews responses are personalized: they are inferred at the time, so it can vary from one consultation to another That to Wolf River Electric’s lawyers are not worried because they know it can happen again. “This demand is not just about defending the reputation of our company; it will defend equity, truth and responsibility in the era of artificial intelligence,” Nicholas Kasprowicz sayslegal advisor of the company. {“Videid”: “X7ZW3C2”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “I cheated an artificial intelligence | Captcha 2×02”, “Tag”: “Artificial Intelligence”, “Duration”: “2958”} David against Goliath. The case was filed in March in a state court and has just been elevated to a Federal Court of the United States. Perhaps it ends up creating jurisprudence on whether a technology company must take responsibility for its generation and disinformation. The answer to this question could mark a turning point for AI companies, which for a long time have tried to avoid responsibility for the results of their language models. Google, in its defense, described the incident as a harmless mishap. “The vast majority of our AI overViews are precise and useful, but as with any new technology, errors can occur,” A company spokesman says. Google says he had quickly acted to solve the problem as soon as they had knowledge of him, in line with his Recent efforts for allowing users to correct the mistakes of the AI.

The iPhone camera had me to my noses. Until Google Pixel’s father arrived to fix it

by

I’ve been loading with me for some time Canon R7 Every time I’m on a trip. The reason is easy: I am very tired of the photos of the iPhone 16 Pro. It is not an exclusive problem of this phone, After analyzing all high -end cameras I have been reaching the same conclusion for years: it is of no use to improve the hardware if the defendant is still bad. And why do I consider it bad? Because with sensors that touch the inch and processors more powerful than those of a computer, mobile phones should be closer to a SRFLEX than of the same photos they made five years ago. Almost 10 years ago, there was a company that wanted to change everything with the “computational photography.” That company was Google, who launched in 2016 Google Pixel. In his day, it was a milestone: a mobile that took advantage of artificial intelligence (although at that time there was not so much emphasis on that word) to take much above those of his rivals. At the head of the photography team for the Google Pixel was Marc Levoy, currently an adobe worker. After a few years in silence he has done what no manufacturer has wanted to do: squeeze to the limit the power of a mobile to teach us what he can really do. Why is it important. Adobe has announced very discreetly Indigo Projectan app that applies as we had never seen the principles of computational photography to the iPhone. Until now, no such radical attempt had been made: this application consumes many resources and shows results that, until now, did not seem possible in the automatic mode of a phone. Is the best sample of The stagnant that manufacturers carry (including Google) in mobile photography. And although we spend more than 1,000 euros in a telephone, The camera is always well below what I could really do. Levoy himself makes it clear in his publication: “People often complain about the” appearance of the smartphone “: too bright, low contrast, high color saturation, strong softened and strong sharpness. This prosecuted comes, in part, for the most mainstream user preferences. But when someone spends a grassland on a phone (and in Europe we are doing it more than ever), this begins to be a problem. What is project indigo. This is a free app developed by Adobe Labs and led, among others, by Marc Levoy. The most nerd can enjoy manual controls, but the average user will not have to worry about anything: it is a “normal and current” with which you open, aim and shoot. The key is that, when he takes the photo, he is doing something completely different from what Apple does. This is what Indigo can do with a RAW from the iPhone. At all rag. A few years ago, when Apple talked about Smart HDR, the company showed combinations of up to 9 images to get a photo in HDR. The current number is not known, but Apple’s HDR has not improved substantially in recent years. Levoy does make clear how his app works: 32 PHOTOS IN RAW to create only one, neither more nor less. Combining 32 frames to create a single photo is a very high figure. Thanks to this, less noise is achieved in shadow areas, less reflections, and less overexposure (white parts, very burned), using more low-exposite frames. Thanks to having so many information, the textures are maintained better, the reduction of software noise is less necessary, and the softened is minimized. MAPOO DE TONESO NUGUAL | What can be achieved with a correct tones mapping. Going beyond. Another of the big problems of current photography has to do with HDR, and how shadow areas are crushed (or, vice versa, everything is burned) in scenes that require a high dynamic range. To avoid the classic (and unpleasant) forced HDR effect, this app has its own tone mapping (a fundamental process to obtain information on luminosity and color when dealing with HDR content). In other less complex words: this app processes as adobe wants, And not as Apple wants. The zoom. Indigo’s last key has to do with the zoom, one of the historical weak points of the iPhone. This application, without us noticing, takes multiple photos constantly while it is open (do not fear for your storage, until you shoot the final photo and processed, nothing is saved). This allows, when we take a photo with zoom, they can be combined to obtain a final in more detail. When to use this app. Everything looks great with Indigo, until you wonder how it is possible that a mobile can take 32 photos and process them without flinching. It is not so easy. This application puts the iPhone to work to the fullest, which can cause it to hot, especially in summer. Despite this, if you have time to take a good photo (it takes a few seconds to process) and want to escape that mobile look, this camera is practically perfect. His own developers consider it as an experimental camera app, and in their first phase of development it will be completely free. It is compatible with all iPhone from 12, and it is planned to end up landing on Android soon. Despite being experimental app, it has a great future ahead. Its developers claim that they want to load it with personalized looks, computational video functions, and improvements they show in the potential of well -applied computational photography.
