The greatest acquisition of the company’s history revolves around cybersecurity

by

23,000 million dollars were not enough to close the initial treatment per Wiz. In July last year, Google presented its purchase proposal For the cybersecurity company in the cloud, But the offer was rejected. If he had completed, he would have marked the most ambitious acquisition in the history of the search engine. The conversations did not stop and, after months of negotiations, Google He has managed to close The agreement for 32,000 million dollars. The agreement. Google, under the leadership of L succinity Pichai, will disburse 32,000 million dollars (about 29,270 million euros) in a transaction entirely in cash. For now, they have signed a ‘definitive agreement’ that paves the way to close the operation. However, as is the case with any purchase of this magnitude, the process must still exceed the scrutiny of competition regulators in several countries, including the United States FTC, the United Kingdom CMA and the authorities of the European Union. Google’s most expensive purchase. Until now, no acquisition had cost the Mountain View giant so much. To put it in perspective, YouTube came out for 1,650 million dollars, Motorola for 12.5 billion and Mandiant for 5.4 billion. Wiz far exceed any previous figure. Behind the purchase. Multimillion -dollar acquisitions are not decisions that great technological ones take light. Behind each movement of this caliber there is a well -defined strategy. In this case, Google is committed to Wiz to reinforce cloud security and enhance its multicloud approach. If everything progresses as planned, the company will become part of Google Cloud, the ambitious cloud computing division that has acquired great notoriety in the middle of the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). What does Wiz stand out? This New York headquarters offers a cloud security platform that is integrated without interruptions with the main cloud services and code environments. Its technology quickly analyzes customer infrastructure, creating a detailed map of code, resources, services and applications, in addition to its connections. With this, identify possible attack routes, prioritizes the most critical risks and allows developers to strengthen safety before deployment. Google Cloud competition works with Wiz. What will happen now? Three of Google Cloud’s main rivals, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud, already use Wiz’s solutions. Now that Google’s purchase seems imminent, the doubt arises about the future of these agreements. As the company has advanced, Wiz services will remain available for third parties. In fact, Google Cloud plans to offer these security solutions to its partners through its marketplace. “We hope to welcome the Wiz team and offer better cybersecurity alternatives for companies and governments around the world,” said the company, making its approach clear.

The recipe for the greatest robbery of cryptocurrencies in history

by

When we buy cryptocurrencies from an application, we usually leave our assets stored directly on the platform itself. This means that the safety of our investments depends on a digital purse managed by a third party. But experience shows that these applications are not 100% armored against computer attacks, so our assets could end up being violated or even stolen. Many bybit users, One of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the worldThey have recently suffered an unprecedented blow. A group of cybercriminals linked to North Korea He has perpetrated the greatest robbery of cryptodivisas in history. An attack that not only affected the platform, but also leaves key lessons on the safety and risks of the crypto ecosystem. An unprecedented robbery. As we mentioned a few weeks agoon February 21 Bybit suffered a serious security failure that resulted in the theft of 1.5 billion dollars in cryptocurrencies. But how is it possible that a platform that manages about 20,000 million dollars in deposits has been the victim of an attack of such magnitude? Let’s see. The origin of the attack. Computer attacks rarely occur for a single failure. In most cases, they are the combination of several factors that ends up opening the door to a security gap. That is exactly what happened in the recent attack on Bybit, whose outcome could have been avoided if measures had been taken on time. In July 2024, the cybersecurity firm Check Point published a technical report in which he warned about a weakness in SAFEfree software used in cryptocurrency operations. According to the document, the Exectransaction function could be exploited to manipulate transaction data and execute malicious code. Between three and four months before the attack, the CEO of Bybit, Ben Zhou, admitted that his team had already detected compatibility problems between Safe and its security systems. But the warning did not translate into concrete measures. “We should have updated and away from Safe,” Zhou acknowledged in an interview with The New York Times. An invisible trap. On February 21, shortly before midnight, Ben Zhou, CEO of Bybit, connected from home to approve, along with two other executives, an important transfer from Ether from a multisig account linked to the platform. A routine operation in appearance, but would end in disaster. To sign the transaction, he used his Ledger physical wallet, trusting the information that the interface showed on his computer. In the eyes of the signatories, everything seemed in order: addresses, amounts and functions coincided with what was expected. But what they did not know was that the attackers had already committed part of Safe’s infrastructure. A malicious code inserted in the system manipulated the information on the screen, causing Zhou and his team to approve, without knowing it, a fraudulent transaction. The result was inevitable: the funds ended in a purse controlled by the attackers. Everything was recorded in the blockchain, but it was too late. Panic call. Around 30 minutes later, the financial director (CFO) of Bybit telephoned Zhou in a trembling voice: “The entire Ether has disappeared.” Zhou departed without delay towards the Bybit offices in Singapore and initiated an internal crisis protocol known as P-1 where all members of the leadership team are awakened. But there were little to do. Transactions of this type cannot be reversed. Their efforts focused on investigating what happened, giving tranquility to customers and applying changes to improve security. A brilliant strategy. The problem was not in the intelligent contract code or in the Multisig system. There was no failure in these points, but a well -orchestrated trap: the attackers manipulated the interface and the signature flow, deceiving the signatories to authorize false transactions without realizing it. And there is the true nightmare: you can count on multiple signatures and high level, but if everyone sees the same and what they see is a hoax, the attack is consumed without major obstacles.

The greatest enemy of Perovskita’s solar panels is heat. Some researchers have found a solution: titanium

by

The commercial viability of Perovskita solar panels is getting closer, thanks to the different solutions over time. However, there is still a big problem to solve to be able to install them, but a team of engineers has managed to solve using titanium. Short. Researchers from the Technological Institute of Georgia in the United States They have achieved That Perovskita’s solar cells are more stable and support high temperatures. The solution was to incorporate titanium into one of the layers. The problem. The incorporation of Perovskita panels to the market has been a challenge because they do not last long when they are exposed to high temperatures. The reason is in one of its internal layers, known as the hollow transport layer (HTL), which allows the movement of electricity within it. This layer, usually made of a material called spiro-feet, begins to crystallize and lose efficiency when the temperature exceeds 70ºC. The solution. The technique used In research is steam phase infiltration (VPI). In this process, the solar cell is exposed to a titanium gas in a low vacuum environment. This allows titanium oxide/hydroxide (Tiox) to integrate into the HTL layer of the solar cell. In this way, titanium acts as a thermal stabilizer, preventing it from crystallizing and ensuring that panel efficiency is not degraded by heat. As a result, solar cells have preserved more than 80% of their original efficiency after 200 hours of 75ºC tests. An alternative to silicon. The study of the study to continue working the Perovskita panels and not those of silicon has been for several reasons. On the one hand, a cost of costs and energy consumption because silicon cells are much more expensive than those of Perovskita. On the other hand, the study has been conducted with financing from the Office of Solar Energy Technologies of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy of the United States Energy Department, so alternatives have been sought for do not depend on Chinain a context of Tariff war. More solutions for Perovskitas. The American study is not the only one who is looking for alternatives in this line. An investigation in the United Kingdom has managed to go one step further developing a method that makes solar cells more resistant to external factors such as humidity, heat and physical wear. Forecasts Until now the technology developed by the American engineers group is in patent. Commercial implementation will be pending if researchers manage to find partners and the future of Solar energy in the United States.

It is the second consecutive explosion and the greatest setback in the recent history of the rocket

by

Starship’s eighth flight was going to be a repetition of the previous launch, which Spacex could not complete because The ship ended up disintegrating On the Atlantic Ocean. However, exactly the same thing has happened again. The ship has exploded again. And in the same flight phase: eight minutes after takeoff, when Starship 34 was about to turn off to start its suborbital trajectory to the Indian Ocean. Like the Starship 33, the ship lost control when several of its engines (first three, and then a room) went out or exploited. Then he began to turn on his axis until he exploded, either because he ended up disintegrating, as his predecessor, or because the flight termination system was activated, self -controlled the rocket for security. The reentry was seen from Miami. The videos of the remains of the ship by disintegrating in the atmosphere soon appeared. From Bahamasfrom the Turkish Islands and Caicos and from Dominican Republic, last timebut also from Cabo Cañaveral and Miamisince the explosion occurred when the rocket was traveling at 20,000 km/h, while the flight from flight 7 exploded more than 21,000 km/Hy, therefore, further. As It happened in Januaryimmediately They began to deviate Also the airplanes. The areas where remains of the rocket can fall are delimited and, when an incident occurs, Spacex warns the authoritiesthat close the airspace, asking the pilots to deviate to other airports if necessary. Twice the same stone? According to the Spacex researchStarship 33 had failed by a “stronger harmonic resonance phenomenon” than expected. Vibrations that caused an oxygen leak in the lower part of the rocket, which in turn triggered a fire, which in turn exploded the engines. Spacex did a test of On a one -minute land To try to better understand the problem, and tried to mitigate the effects of these vibrations improving the ventilation of the lower part of the ship, to avoid an accumulation of gases. Although it is not confirmed that the Starship 34 has failed for the same reasons, in An image of the direct A small fire has been seen, and in another The explosion of an engine. Something happens with the Starship Block 2. Put to find guilty, the greatest setback in the recent history of the Starship program coincides with a change of version. Starship 33 and Starship 34 are First block models 2, which represent the second generation of the ship-cohete. Two meters higher than the previous generation, has methane deposits and liquid oxygen of greater capacity, improvements in the thermal shield, renewed front alerons and changes in propulsion subsystems. Whatever it is, something has failed in this iteration, and Spacex now has more data to solve it.

Telefónica is 100 years old but it is now when you have to decide what you want to be older. Is facing its greatest existential dilemma

by

Few companies become hundred. Of those who achieve it, few have survived as many transformations as Telefónica. Founded when the phone was a luxury, a civil war, world war, dictatorships, democracies, republics and monarchies, privatizations, technological bubbles and digital revolutions has lived. But He has never faced a crossroads as existential as the current: Define your identity for the next century. He Mobile World Congress 2025 It has been the scenario where Marc Murtra, in his first months as president, has presented his vision for Teleco. A stand of almost a square kilometer encapsulated this Identity search. The Valencian artisanal spheres that decorated the space – a beautiful wink four months after the Dana tragedy – represented something halfway between tradition and modernity. A Perfect metaphor of a company trapped between two worlds: The conventional teleco that is seeing how its margins are eroded, and the technology company in which it aspires to become. Above, Valencian artisan spheres connected to the failed world to decorate the stand. Below, the Autonomous Drone connected by 5G that starred in a part of the MWC of the Teleco. The metaphor of the two worlds among which Telefónica trapped: tradition (the pure telecation business) and modernity (the technological company in which it seeks to become). Image: Telefónica. An operator in a hostile world The European context does not help. While the United States has three main operators for 335 million people, Europe has 34 for 450 million. This fragmentation, praised by regulators as a low price guarantor, has created an ecosystem where no operator has the critical mass to compete globally. Murtra was not subtle in Barcelona with Your Opening Speech: “It is time for large European telecommunications companies to consolidate and grow to create technological capacity.” A warning: “Europe’s position in the world will continue to decide and will not have the capacity to decide its future autonomously.” What until recently was a business debate has now climbed to geopolitical matter. The new president draws the battle with a sports metaphor: “We operate in a fragmented market, it’s like playing football with a hand tied behind our backs. If we unleash our hands, we will mark a few goals.” A GRADE OF Aid Shared by the CEOs of Vodafone, Orange and Deutsche Telekom, who joined the choir In Barcelona with an unusual voice. Pallete left a perfect paradox on the table: He reduced the debt in half (from 53,000 million to less than 29,000) while the stock value collapsed 57%. The equation is clear: Financial sanitation is no longer enough to seduce markets. The investment seeks growth stories, not survival. And that is where the technological jacket feels better than that of Teleco. And for her they go. The MWC as a declaration of intentions The demos that Telefónica presented in Barcelona are the anticipation of their future bets. It is no longer limited to talking about connectivity, but goes into more complex territories: Autonomous drones integrated with Open Gateway APIS, Security in the face of quantum computing challengesand its digital operations center for cybersecurity. It is striking that the Teleco did not simply show its 5G network, but the applications that can be built on it. Your demo drones He showed cases of health, environmental and logistics use. An effort to be in the value chain beyond the “tube” of data is appreciated. Beyond the dreaded Commoditization. The presentation of its technology Quantum-Safe Networks He anticipates threats that have not even arrived yet, but they will do it when quantum computing is more present than future. The announcement of an excellence center in this field, although without detailing investment or template Xataka On this matter, it shows its intention to become a strategic security provider. Enrique Blanco, outgoing Ctio after four decades in the company, has indicated that they have been working in this field for a decade, conducting limited tests in areas such as Madrid or Vizcaya. But perhaps the most important bet is Open Gateway. Chema Alonso, visible face of digital transformation (although An uncertain future), has presented Agreements with Tiktok, Cabify, AWS, Google Cloud and the Community of Madrid. The goal is convert their networks, so far mere highways, on platforms that generate income. Telefónica wants to monetize its privileged position as an identity validity and position itself as a technological intermediary between citizens and services. However, Under these modernity signs, the structure of a company born to another world persists. Its corporate culture, molded for decades as a national monopoly, collides with the agility that innovation requires. The More than 100,000 employees that still maintains the group contrast with lighter operators. Not to mention the great technological ones. The impossible referents When telecos have tried to reinvent themselves, the results have been lime and sand. AT&T opted to become a media company acquiring Warnerjust to end selling it years later. Verizon bought Yahoo and Aol, and then detach from both in half of what cost them. Deutsche Telekom, perhaps the greatest success case, has managed to better balance its transformation, but as its CEO Tim Höttges explained in Barcelona, ​​”today we make 65% of our income in the United States.” Telefónica’s case is more complex. Its international expansion gave it global scale, but also dispersion (a few days ago He sold his Argentine subsidiary for 1,000 million). And its telephone division Tech points to diversification towards cybersecurity, Cloud and IoT, but still represents a small fraction of total income. In the agora of their stand in Barcelona, ​​where more than one hundred managers have paraded tensing during the fair, Telefónica has sought to project a technological leader image. The problem is that the market continues to see it fundamentally as a teleco with aspirations technot as a true technological company. The transition is a long process. The absent host paradox The MWC has put another painful irony on the table: Spain organizes the largest technological fair in the world While your participation in the development of the … Read more

People are using AI on Tiktok to “travel in time” to some of the greatest catastrophes in history

by

Fever for the past (not because of history in its purest form, but for the sensations that were lived in other times) is increasingly strong, and now that the Millennials They are starting to experiment What gene x has been suffering in their flesh for years (nostalgia for what has been lived and not lived since you get up until you go to bed), it was only a matter of time that tools such as AI were added to fashion. Only this time nostalgia leads us to moments when technology (not already AI, but directly the electric current) had not invented, and gives rise to Trends how to live in the first person the black plague. What happened, happened. Dawn in Pompeya The day of the eruption of Vesubio, Work in Chernobyl In 1986 or be one of the witchcraft In the 17th century Salem are some of the historical hits of the videos generated by @timetravellerpovTiktok user who already has 472,000 followers and eight million ‘like’ accumulated in their creations, despite the short life of the account, which began at the beginning of the year. Of course, he already takes advantage of his fame to announce Video creation courses for AI similar to yours. The other face of the story. The most curious thing about the account is that not only publishes videos of historical facts that we cannot have lived for obvious reasons, but much more everyday experiences and that have nothing of historical transcendence (although emotional): being A teenager from the eightiesa small child In Great Britain of the Two Miles Or the most curious of all, for the recent facts: recall in the first person (like all these videos) what was Covid confinementwhich undoubtedly any user of the account will have recent. Millions of people in misfortunes. Of course, these are not the most visited videos, but the very viralized Chernobyl and The black plaguewith 32 and 24 million reproductions, which far exceed the most common between 1 and 3 million of the rest of the channel videos. It is clear that users want to experience unattainable misfortunes of the near or remote past, almost in tourist planand they begin to demonstrate with the comments of the videos, which usually have a tone close to “calm, which was a moment running for my life in Pompeii.” The problem of historical fidelity. It is clear that the primary objective of these accounts is entertainment, and not reflect in a reliable way what the past was. Some historian has already pointed out some gazapos of these videos (especially in their imitators): in one of the many on the black plague, houses with architecture other than the real or train tracks appear, something impossible in the fourteenth century. Others such as Pompeya favor the spectacular when we have records that speak of a different experience. The danger of these videos, beyond that they can spread erroneous visions, is in the malicious use: “People could manipulate the story; (…) and create a video that supports the denialists of the Holocaust,” says historian Amy Boyington For BBC. Imitors sprout. Of course, success has been born a good number of imitators, all more rough and less careful than @timetravellerpov, which despite its factual mistakes has more careful animations and more realistic setting, and flees (relatively) from the morbidity. They are accounts like @Chron0.viewwho has dared to portray crazy things such as Kennedy’s murder from the president’s point of view or 11-S attacks from within the Twin Towers. Some, like @the_pov_lab It exceeds the original account and almost all, of course, have their own version of life during the black plague.

Someone has stolen $ 1.5 billion in a cryptocurrency market. It is the greatest crypto hacking in history

by

The cryptocurrency market had been encouraged again months ago. Everything seemed relatively quiet, but two serious events in this segment have brought us again those sensations of distrust and insecurity. And it will not be easy to get rid of them. A historical theft. Last Friday someone managed to hack the market for the sale of BYBIT cryptodivisas. The firm He quickly warned how they had detected “unauthorized activity” in their systems. It was the greatest cryptocurrency hacking in history: it is estimated that the attackers (s) managed to steal $ 1.5 billion in the form of ETH. The previous most important robberies had been the 470 million dollars stolen in the Mt Gox hacking In 2014, the 530 million coincheck In 2018 or 650 million from Exploit Ronin Bridge In 2022. Lazarus group as suspicious. At the moment the firm does not know how the hacking was performed, but apparently the company’s laptops were not compromised and the problem affected Safe, the “cold” purse of the platform. Cybersecurity consultant Arkham Intelligence indicates that Lazarus Group had been responsible, a statement based on The investigation of the expert in this area Zachxbt. Bybit says to be covered. Ben Zhou, CEO of Bybit, highlighted How his criptomoned sale market had enough reserves to cover hacking and cryptocurrency withdrawal – especially, especially, Stablecoins– Although for a few hours They blocked some functions of their purses to guarantee their safety. A few hours ago Zhou indicated how they had managed to cover virtually all funds. Panic in Bybit. The theft has caused many users to withdraw funds in Bybit for fear that these funds will also end up being stolen. As indicated In Coindeskin the hours following the HACKEO Bybit he saw how their clients withdrew 4,000 million dollars in funds. Of the 16.9 billion dollars managed in crypto assets in Bybit, the firm went to manage 11.2 billion dollars According to defillama data. Can Ctrl-Z do to the block chain? Some users asked if it would be feasible to make a kind of “roll-back” of the Ethereum block chain. That would allow us to undo the changes made by hackers and return the status of that great book of accounts to how it was before hacking, but it is not clear that this is possible. Experts indicate according to Coindesk that something like this would be possible, but the interactions between the Smart Contracts and their internal architecture make it not easy. It would be necessary to reach a consensus, and could even cause a division of the Ethereum block chain in two. Just when in the US the thing was encouraged. The robbery occurred just the day Coinbase had managed to reach an agreement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission leave the demand without also being issued. Donald Trump’s re -election had promoted the value of cryptocurrencies, but since his appointment we have lived several worrying events. Memecoins, Trump and Milei. The scandals have been especially primed with the Memecoins created or supported by Trump and especially by Javier MileiPresident of Argentina. Both grew in a brilliant value and then collapsed in a mysterious and disturbing way, which points to possible fraud in which a few privileged were winning while hundreds of thousands of people lost their investments in these cryptodivisas. Distrust and insecurity, the eternal condemnation of crypts. The scandals with these memecoins and the spectacular bykit hacking return us the constant feeling of insecurity and distrust that the cryptodivisas have always generated. The institutional interest and a certain tranquility in recent times seemed to have softened that environment, but these new events will probably make more people think twice before investing in this type of assets. It is a bad idea to leave your cryptocurrencies in an “Exchange”. The truth is that these robberies have confirmed that their security measures can end up being insufficient to protect their customers’ funds. The most recommended form of experts to save these cryptocurrencies is do it in physical pursesdo not leave them in the purchase market for sale of cryptocurrencies (“Exchange”).

The iPhone 17 point to one of the greatest redesign in their history. One that shouts “android” to the four winds

by

When the river sounds, water carries, and in the world of phone leaks it is a standard that is usually met. A few weeks ago, Jon Prosser revealed The alleged design of the iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro. Two telephone that would arrive, according to the filter, with a redesigned chamber module and that, everything is said, reminds some family models little of Xiaomi. A week later, new information based on Factory CAD supposedin which it is confirmed that the design, at least in this initial stage of product development. The iPhone carry without a remarkable design change from the family iPhone 11at least in relation to the camera modules. There have been dances in the respective to the position of the cameras and their size, but the rear remained unchanged since the year. iPhone 11 Pro | iPhone 16 Pro This design, which seemed immovable, would be about to change in the next generation iPhone 17. In this, regardless of the number of cameras, the module will be the main differential feature for the design of the new product line. iPhone 16 Pro according to Prosser and Majin Bu iPhone 17 Pro. Image: SonnyDickson All leaks are aligning in one direction: that of the iPhone 17 with a redesigned camera module and with a larger volume. According to leaks of alleged covers for this phone, with them the design will barely mean a change. Without it, the cameras will cease to be the only element that protrudes, to become part of a gigantic island … in the Android style. Xiaomi little x6 pro. One of the points we have criticized for 2024 has been the unnecessary of oversizing the camera modules to give them prominence. If the leaks are fulfilled, Apple will do exactly the same. Samsung was one of the few companies that had not joined the fashion with Apple, with a clean rear in which only the cameras stood out (as is inevitable). Another curious movement that is rumored is the return to aluminum throughout the iPhone 17 family, reserving the titanium frame for the iPhone 17 Air. This rumor is not yet solid and would be quite difficult to justify, given the good results (especially in weight reduction). This Apple’s decision would make a certain meaning: unifying the design of the family, regardless of the model we buy. Similarly, it will allow the iPhone 17 Air, who will allegedly land with just a camera, shine with some packaging despite having such a scarce photographic section.

Kazakhstan is one of the world’s greatest uranium producers. Now has taken another step: its first nuclear power plant

by

In the geopolitical board of energy, the domain is not only measured in oil barrels or cubic meters of gas. There is a resource, silent but powerful, which is redefining the current panorama: uranium. While some countries look desperately reduce your energy dependenceothers have understood that true power lies in controlling not only the raw material, but the entire nuclear cycle. Russia has already taken the lead with A dozen centrals Under construction, but now Its largest supplier He also wants to become a strategic actor. New actor. Kazakhstan has decided to accelerate its nuclear development to address its growing shortage of energy. The government has approved the construction of Your first nuclear power plant and a plan to expand its nuclear industry. A referendum in October 2024 showed that 70% Voters support the construction of nuclear plants. This first nuclear power plant will be located in the village of ülken, in the Almath region. The government intends to build at least three more floors to make the most of its resources. Currently, feasibility studies and negotiations with international suppliers are being carried out to determine the technical and financial details of the project. The main financing will come from a Russian government loan with subsidies, and Samruk Energo It will lead the negotiations to guarantee cost efficiency. Energy shortage. The Kazakh country wants to reduce its energy dependence and face a growing internal demand. Despite being one of the countries with greater uranium reservesIt does not have an operational nuclear power plant since 1999. However, it manufactures pumping equipment for nuclear plants and seeks to expand the national production of reactor components and energy equipment. This strategy is aligned with the objectives of carbon neutrality and industrial modernization. An energy cluster. The government seeks to develop a “Nuclear cluster” that not only includes the energy plant, but also the local production of nuclear fuel. To do this, he has formed alliances with China and France. In addition, for nuclear reactors, it will have technology suppliers such as the Galo and South Korean country. The central will probably have a capacity of at least 3 GW, and more plants will be built in the future. Kazakhstan will also strengthen its electrical networks and better connect the western region with the national system. So what happens to Russia? The Kremlin remains an important actor in the global nuclear sector and has supplied Kazakhstan nuclear technology in the past. However, within the country, the concern that an agreement with Rosatom (the Russian nuclear agency) generates excessive dependence, both in technological and financial terms. The opposition has expressed fears that Russia use nuclear energy as an instrument of geopolitical influence. Problems in the past. Nuclear energy in the country has constituted a delicate issue due to the effects of Soviet nuclear tests in the region of Semipalatinsk. For that reason, as indicated Professor Kashi Nath Pandita, concerns about security and lack of transparency in regulatory processes are brought on the path of progress. Forecasts The project can be finished in the next decade, but advance it. However, the country still faces different challenges such as public distrust, environmental concerns and the need to choose a technological partner without compromising its independence. In the long term, this expansion could position Kazakhstan as an energy leader in Central Asia, reducing its vulnerability to regional energy instability and strengthening its presence in global competition for the control of energy resources.

The founder of Deepseek has been placed in just two weeks among the greatest fortunes of Asia. But it depends on who you ask

by

The presentation of Deepseek R1China’s artificial intelligence model has shaken the foundations on which AI in the West was being built. A priori, this model would have achieved similar results to those of OpenAi, but with only a fraction of its cost of development, something that has then had its nuances. All this Financial tsunami In AI has left a clear winner: Liang Wenfeng, CEO of Deepseek and one of the seven founders of the company. Thanks to the success of its AI model, Wenfeng has become a Milmillonario, although no one knows for sure if their fortune has an assessment of 1,000 million or 150,000 million. It depends on Who is asked. The key is Deepseek. In relative terms, the Fortuna Liang Wenfeng At least 84% of the value assigned to Deepseek amounts to 84%. Therefore, the key is to determine how much Deepseek is valued to establish the fortune of its main owner. The problem is that, just like companies like x Openai, Spacex, Neuralink and many others, the company’s value is not public by not being quoted in the stock market as It is NvidiaApple or Microsoft. In this case, the market price Determine the value of the company. However, in the case of private companies, that value is given by third parties. For example, OpenAi’s different financing rounds have served as a framework to establish an assessment of the company, placing it around 157,000 million, according to Forbes. The same goes for Spacex that, after its last financing round, its investors estimated that the company was worth 350,000 million dollars, As reported Bloomberg. With China it is not so easy. Depseek was created as a secondary research project promoted by Wenfeng within its High-Flyer Investment Company. As published by Forbes, Depseek does not seem to have received third -party investments, so there is no external agent that can offer a founded assessment. Given the opacity of the investments of Chinese companies, the tracking of new assessments becomes complicated. The only alternative that remains to know the estimated value is comparing it with its equivalent rivals. Approximate estimates. As published by Bloomberg, seven AI experts and startup founders have estimated that Deepseek’s value would remain between 2,000 million and 30,000 million dollars, although there are more extreme assessments that give figures between 1,000 and 150,000 million dollars. “It is basically impossible to give a convincing response in this case because it is a private and secret company that is financed internally with the commercial gains of the founder,” declaredBloomberg Jeffrey Emanuel, founder and executive director of the Blockchain Pastel Network Startup. One from Those rival companies which can serve as a reference is Anthropic, which thanks to Amazon financial support He has achieved one 60,000 million assessment. The French Mistral AI also would enter that comparisonand its valuation has been 6,000 million dollarsso the most moderate average range seems to be the closest to the reality of the Chinese company. Estimation of the fortune of Liang Wenfeng. Based on those most conservative estimates, Wenfeng’s fortune would move between 1,680 million and 25.2 billion, only in regards to his participation in Deepseek. However, we must not forget that Depseek is only Wenfeng’s “Side Project”, and that his main job is in high-flyer.
