The Belgian police stop Huawei representatives for alleged corruption in the Eurocamara. The EU investigates the Chinese plot

The Belgian police have made records at the European headquarters of Huawei in Brussels and has arrested several of its lobists for alleged corruption of Eurodiputados, as progress Reuters. What happened? The Belgian Prosecutor’s Office has deployed a hundred agents in almost two dozen places in Belgium and Portugal as part of an investigation for alleged bribery, falsification of documents and money laundering. The researchers have seized two offices in the European Parliament belonging to supposedly involved parliamentary assistants. Why is it important. This case threatens to become a second ‘Qatargate‘, the scandal that shook the Eurocamara in 2022 when several legislators were accused of receiving bribes from Qatar and Morocco. New research can seriously damage the credibility of European institutions, already weakened after that episode. Between bambalins. According to Belgian media, the plot of bribes would have operated “regularly and very discreetly from 2021 to the present, under the appearance of lobby Commercial. “The researchers They suspect that about fifteen Eurodiputados – actual and ancient – could be involved. In detail. Corrupt practices, according to Politicalthey would have included: Remuneration for adopting favorable political positions to Huawei. Excessive gifts, such as meals and travel expenses. Recurring invitations to football matches. The context. Huawei, which once was a power of lobby In Europe, he has suffered blows in recent years due to the security risks associated with his links with the Chinese government. The European Commission He has repeatedly warned that the company represents “materially higher risks than other 5G suppliers”. The European Parliament has confirmed that it will cooperate “quickly” with the Belgian authorities in the investigation. Meanwhile, Victor Negrescu, vice president of Parliament for transparency and anti -corruption, has described the accusations as “deeply worrisome.” The answer. A spokesman for Huawei has limited himself to declare that the company is “investigating” what happened and that “it is committed to compliance with all the applicable laws and regulations of the countries and regions in which it operates.” The Eurodiputados involved could see the lifting of their parliamentary immunity if the investigation progresses, a process that requires the authorization of the president of the Eurocamara, Roberta Metsola.

It is manufacturing AI chips for Huawei despite the sanctions, according to the United States

TSMC’s headaches have not finished. The US government definitely included Huawei in its blacklist in 2020, and one of the immediate consequences of this decision was that this Taiwan chips manufacturer stopped producing semiconductors For this Chinese company. Two years later, in October 2022, the US administration decided to include All the Chinese semiconductor industry In his blacklist, which further cut the TSMC client portfolio. Anyway, for Huawei, it has all the meaning of the world to try to make TSMC manufacture some of the integrated circuits you design. This Chinese company is supported In this area by SMICwhich is the main producer of semiconductors in China, but its most advanced integration technologies are not up to TSMC avant -garde lithographs. And not having access to the most advanced lithographic nodes diminishes Huawei’s competitiveness. At the end of October 2024 the US Department of Commerce decided to investigate TSMC because he suspected that this gigantic Taiwanese company could have secretly reached agreements with Huawei to take care of the manufacture of its semiconductors for smartphones and applications of artificial intelligence (AI). At the current situation of tension between the US and China this accusation is very serious. Fortunately for TSMC everything was clarified a few months later. Another disturbing chapter in the relationship held TSMC and Huawei In December 2024 TSMC broke its commercial relationship With Powerair, a Singapore company that, apparently, was responsible for delivering the chip manufactured by TSMC that appeared on the card for the Ascend 910b. Interestingly, this was the second company presumably responsible for reaching Huawei integrated circuits produced by TSMC. In 2023 this last company stopped offering its manufacturing service to the Chinese Chips Design Company Sophgo to illegally mediate with Huawei. The CSIS accuses TSMC of having manufactured for Huawei no less than two million chips from AInd 910 Now is the CSIS (Center for Strategic and International Studies), an American organization that is dedicated to developing strategies that seek to guarantee the security of the US, which accuses TSMC in A freshly published report having made indirectly for Huawei for 2024 no less than Two million Ascend 910 chips. With these integrated circuits this Chinese company can produce a huge number of units of its ascend 910c solution, which is currently its hardware for the most advanced. The most interesting thing is that The CSIS holds that Huawei has once again resorted to “ghost” companies that act as intermediaries between her and TSMC. However, the author of the report does not exculpate the Taiwanese company: “TSMC manufactured large amounts of Ascend 910b of Huawei in the name of ghost companies and sent them to China, thus violating US export controls.” We will see how all this ends, but it does not paint well for a TSMC that has just embarked into an ambitious strategy of expansion of its production infrastructure within the country currently led by Donald Trump.

Chatgpt costs $ 700,000 a day, Deepseek just 83,000. A key is huawei and play cards differently

2025 began with a tsunami in the segment of the artificial intelligence. After months and months talking about different models and companies such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, Goal And, of course, OpenAIa Chinese company took off the manga Deekseekan AI that shook industry foundations. Beyond its possibilities or how good it worked, which stirred the waters were economic and hardware issues. Almost from the beginning the question of How China had taken out an AI like Deepseek With the hardware limitation they have due to the Commercial War with the United States and the impossibility of buying the most powerful graphs of Nvidia (although with controversy). To do this, the company defended that it had to pull ingenuity Thanks to an infrastructure of NVIDIA H800 chips and a training of more than 2,788 million hours with a ridiculous cost: 5.6 million dollars. And it seems scarce because Openai He invested about 100 million dollars to train GPT-4. Another melon is what it costs to keep it. As noted ReutersIf Chatgpt costs about $ 700,000 a day, Deepseek drops to $ 87,000. And here some things that have to be taken into account. Deepseek is 10 times cheaper to maintain than chatgpt, according to Depseek Last Saturday, and as noted ReutersDeepseek revealed some data on costs and income related to its V3 and R1 models. The first is a traditional, more conversational chatbot, resulting ideal for the writing and creation of content. R1, however, is a reasoning model. It stands out solving problems, using logic and is able to show step by step reasoning, using continuous learning. To compare with better known models, Depseek V3 would be like GPT-4 and R1 something similar to OPENAI O1. In the report, Reuters highlights that the theoretical relationship of Deepseek-benefit costs is up to 545% per day. Of course, the company itself warns that real income is significantly lower, but another pearl they have left since Deepseek is the cost of maintenance. Keep chatgpt working costs about $ 700,000 a day to OpenAI (at least two years ago). The reason is that the infrastructure of Microsoft Azure Serversit has a considerable energy cost, you have to pay wages and, obviously, all the power in hardware to process the consultations you receive every second. In yellow, the costs. In blue, theoretical income Deepseek “only” 87,072, a ridiculous price compared. A few days ago affirmed That, renting the H800 costs less than two dollars per hour and the estimated theoretical income is just over 560,000 dollars, which would add more than 200 million dollars in a year. In the upper graph, Depseek shows the cost of maintaining R1 and theoretical income thanks to the tokens that are generated, whose price depends on the moment of the day, being cheaper at night. They also clarify that Deepseek V3 is “significantly cheaper.” This opens more issues. One is how it is so cheap because training an AI, of course, is not. Ignoring the accusation of theft by OpenAIif Deepseek has not deflated the numbers, puts on the table a situation in which it is not needed so many graphic power to train an artificial intelligence. Here the key is the ‘reinforcement learning’, the way Deepseek has found do with much lessbut it should also be noted that, although during training the Nvidia chips are used for the R1 model, in the inference it is using The Ascend 910b of Huawei. Huawei chips are cheaper And, supposedly, more efficient, and this decision of Deepseek is almost more relevant than what may cost to maintain the system. The reason is that you can teach the rest of artificial intelligence companies that, perhaps, It is not worth using the latest generation GPUs For everything, but only for training that occurs sometimes counted, before the implementation of AI, and then use other more efficient and cheap GPUs for inference. This inference is what is done later, in a use that we could call “real” The training would be the equivalent of swallowing technical manuals in a five -year career and the inference such as implementing that knowledge and reasoning starting from the base you have and without having to learn them again. In the end, the controversy of five million dollars Deepseek is going to be there for a while, especially when we compare with OpenAi numbers, but it is clear that Depseek is doing things from another approach and can be a good mirror for companies that come behind. And, with one China very focused on the development of both AI as of Hardware for AIit can be the perfect ‘spearhead’ model.

We already know how many euros a triple folding costs. Huawei Mate XT Ultimate has opened the ban

The folding phonesS They have been with us for a few years. Enough to begin to understand that, far from being a product with aspirations to approach the most mainstream consumer, they are increasingly a piece of niche collector. The folding “fold” type continue to touch the 2,000 euros and the new trend is not to reduce: it is to take them one step further. Huawei has been the first, and he has done it with his Huawei Mate XT Ultimate. The terminal was launched in China for about 2,500 euros to change. We already know the global price. It is far from that figure. An increasingly niche product The fold folding was not enough, the new trend is to add a new fold for the phone to incorporate an even larger panel. This is the case of Mate XT Ultimate, with a Total 10.2 -inch panel, 7.9 inches in double fold and 6.4 inches completely folded. A phone, three sizes. Buying a device with this peculiarity will be priced at 3,499 euros, thus becoming the most expensive folding phone of the moment. They are 1,500 euros more compared to Huawei Mate X6the last folding of Huawei. The company has not detailed what markets will arrive, but confirms that the global version will be 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. A niche price for a niche product and, although it may seem like a crazy idea, Huawei knows very well what he does. Huawei is an absolute leader in folding sales Not only in China, but worldwide. He has managed to dethrone Samsung, not to grow, and the launch of a triple folding seems to meet the needs of those consumers who seek to go one step further.
