launch satellites to space without rocket

by

Adak is a small island at the western end of Alaska. With a military past for its proximity to Russia, today it has less than 400 inhabitants. In this almost pospocalyptic scenario, A Californian startup called spinlaunch Plan to build a giant centrifugator for catapult satellites to space. The perfect place for a space catapult. Although the argument of a science fiction film seems like the company, the company has signed an alliance With The Aleut Corporation, owner of much of Adak Island, to build its orbital launch platform there. The choice of the island is not accidental. Its northern latitude and its location in the Pacific allow polar and high inclination launch trajectories without the need to fly over populated areas. Air and sea traffic are also minimal. Adak was an important air base of the United States until 1997, so it has an operating airport and a deep water port, which would greatly facilitate the logistics of building and operating the installation. In addition, the island has enormous wind, hydraulic and geothermal potential that would allow feeding the electric centrifuger with renewable sources. How the spinlaunch centrifuger works. The Californian startup He did a concept of concept in 2022. The system is essentially a kinetic accelerator sealed in vacuum. Inside, a carbon fiber arm rotates the projectile that the satellite contains at hypersonic speeds, reaching 7,500 km/h. At the precise moment, the projectile is released and triggered to heaven by a fireplace. Once it reaches an altitude of 60 km, where the atmosphere is very dim, a small engine turns on to give the final thrust that allows the orbital speed to reach. In one of its most spectacular tests, They placed a camera aboard To see it in the first person. The greatest technical challenge is the brutal acceleration that subjects the payload to forces of up to 10,000 g. Spinlaunch has collaborated with NASA to demonstrate that satellites specially designed for centrifuging can survive the extreme trip. But although Keep working In perfecting the system, it has had to diversify its business so as not to fail. Launches in rockets to finance the tyrachinas. After years of silence, Spinlaunch reappeared in April 2025 with a plan that left many of his perplexed followers: displaying his own constellation telecommunications satellites. The most surprising: the 280 satellites of the Meridian project would be put in orbit using traditional rockets. Although many thought it was a tacit form of leave the catapultthe project on Adak island shows that the intention is to move on. In the words of David Wrenn, CEO of Spinlaunch: “The launch market is relatively small compared to the economic potential of satellite communications, more focused on costs than benefits.” So, if Meridian is successful, the centrigurator in the most remote town in the United States could end up seeing the light in the most post -epocalyptic environment imaginable.

Sam Altman, after reactions to GPT-5 launch

by

Some changes arrive as an improvement and end up breaking what was already working. It happened when Microsoft eliminated the classic Windows 8 start menu, generating rejection in part of its users. Also when Instagram replaced its classic grid with vertical miniaturesaltering profiles designed at the millimeter. GPT-5 It adds to that list. It is not a debate about whether it is better or worse than the above, but about how it has arrived sweeping with dynamics that many had perfectly refined. The community’s response was swift. In Reddit, the community went from the surprise to the open complaint in a matter of hours. Reddit complaints mark the GPT-5 premiere A user described their situation: “For months I was in perfect tune by changing between O3, O3-Pro, 4.5 and 4th, depending on the task. I knew exactly what each model could offer. Now they have gone and it is my turn to readjust myself to GPT-5” Another, used by GPT-4OIt was more direct: “They just removed the best model so far to write fiction.” The messages are repeated: “RIP GPT-4O“,”Bring GPT-4o back”A coral lament that marks the tone of this weekend. What has changed for so many users to feel? The answer is in the way Openai reordered chatgpt. The arrival of GPT-5 is not a simple addition: it is the withdrawal of eight models in a single movement. OpenAi eliminates GPT-4O, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.5GPT-4.1-mini, O4-mini, O4-mini-high, O3 and O3-Pro, redirecting all the activity towards GPT-5 and its variants. It should be noted that GPT-4O has not completely disappeared. Openai keeps it operational in the chatgpt voice mode and in the integration of the application with macOS, iOS and ipados, although outside the model selector and with a much more limited use than before. The migrations were automatic. If a conversation was in GPT-4O, 4.1, 4.5 or its mini versions, it now opens in GPT-5. Those used by O3 go to GPT-5 Thinking, and those in O3-PRO move to GPT-5 Pro, accessible only for Pro and Team users. The impact depends on the plan: the free level is limited to GPT-5 with 10 messages every five hours and a daily use of Thinking; Plus goes up to 80 messages every three hours and 200 per week with Thinking; Pro and Team maintain unlimited access and the option of activating “legacy” models temporarily. With noise already on, Sam Altman went out to explain the situation. He acknowledged that the launch had been “more rugged than expected” and explained that, during part of the previous day, a failure in the Autoswitcher He prevented GPT-5 from alternating between fast responses and GPT-5 Thinking when the task required it, which caused it to seem less capable of the usual. Among the immediate measures, he announced adjustments in the way in which the system decides when to activate its way of deep reasoning and greater transparency so that the user knows which model is responding at all times. He also advanced a change in the interface to manually activate GPT-5 Thinking and double the use limits for Plus plans once the deployment ends. “We are studying allow PLUS users to continue using 4th. We want to collect more data on the commitments/costs of that decision” In addition, he opened the door to a possible return of GPT-4O for Plus users, although he warned that the decision will depend on the data they collect in the coming weeks. Beyond the controversy, Openai insists that GPT-5 represents an important leap for Chatgpt. For Openai, GPT-5 is not just a new model: it is the centerpiece of a simplified chatgpt. Replace the list of models with a system capable of deciding for yourself when to give a quick response and when to activate your deep reasoning mode, GPT-5 Thinking. The company ensures that this architecture allows you to pay better in all types of scenarios, from complex works – code, data analysis, information synthesis – to daily writing or search tasks. With support for all Chatgpt tools, the goal is to be the fastest, most precise and versatile model they have launched. The bet fits with an idea that Altman had been defending time: simplify access to models. The change that GPT-5 brought responds to an idea that Sam Altman had been defending time: simplify chatgpt. The model selector, with names and versions that for many were cryptic, was a recurring complaint among users. It was not always clear if a model was faster, more precise or more creative, and the experience varied even with similar tasks. GPT-5 intends to end that uncertainty. A single system automatically decides when to respond instantly and when to activate your deep reasoning. However, this order comes to the cost of limiting control to those who used the selector as a strategic tool. That is why the discussion has not closed. The community pressure has already caused an official response and some adjustments in record time. It remains to see if OpenAi will go further and allow GPT-4O to return, at least for part of the users. Meanwhile, the debate is still open: better a single model that decides everything or the freedom to choose according to the task? Tell us: Do you miss the model selector?

This is the launch of the most anticipated artificial intelligence of Openai in an increasingly fierce race

by

For months, the feeling was clear: OpenAi needed a blow to the table. GPT-4 had raised the bar, and GPT -4 -or reinforced that base with concrete improvements in performance and multimodality. But GPT –4.5 He did not convince: for many, it was a false step, With few real improvements and too many promises without compliance. Today, With GPT -5, the company seeks to recover impulse. The new model is now available and arrives in three versions. Openai has profiled GPT -5 as its most complete model to date. His training puts the focus on three great pillars: understanding more precision instructions, managing longer contexts and working hand in hand with external tools. The ambition is not less: transforming the model into a kind of digital agent that not only responds, but acts, plans and adapts. The clearest difference is how we interact with him. GPT -4 forced to choose: speed, vision or reasoning. GPT -5 breaks with that barrier. Now it is the model who decides in real time if he must respond instantly or stop to think. The result is a more fluid experience, without the need to configure modes or activate specific functions. GPT -5 is already the new default model in the free chatgpt plan. It is the first time that anyone can access an advanced reasoning system without going through a box. In payment plans, the model is deployed with more powerful versions: Chatgpt plus ($ 20 per month): access with extended limits Chatgpt Pro (200 month): unlimited access to GPT -5 Pro, a variant reinforced with more power, better answers and extended functions (voice, search, canvas, deep reasoning) Enterprise, Team and Edu plans will receive it next week as a base model.

Anthropic cuts Claude’s access to Openai. He has done it before the launch of GPT-5

by

The AI race is very intense lately. The last episode is stars in Anthropic, who have cut access to Openai so that they cannot access their family of models Claude. The company claims to have caught the engineers of Chatgpt wearing Claude programming toolswhich has not fallen very well. This, According to a spokesman From the company to the medium Wired, it is “a violation of its terms of service”, so they have restricted access to the API. What has happened exactly. Openai connected Claude to his internal tools through his API, instead of the conventional chat interface. This allowed the company to carry out comparative evidence between Claude and its own models in areas such as programming, creative writing and security -related responses. The results helped Openai evaluate the behavior of their models and make necessary adjustments. An endless war. This decision goes beyond a simple contractual dispute: marks a turning point in the relationship between two of the main powers of the generative AI. Anthropic was born in 2021 precisely from an Openai split, when several key researchers, including the brothers Dario and Daniela Amodei, left Altman’s company due to differences on the direction and safety of AI. Since then, The tension has been palpablealthough it had remained in the background. The justification of Anthropic. “Claude Code It has become the preferred option of programmers everywhere, so we were not surprised to know that Openai’s technical staff were also using our programming tools before the launch of GPT-5“said Christopher Nulty, spokesman for Anthropic. The company considers that this constitutes a direct violation of its commercial terms, which expressly prohibit using the service to” build a competitive product or service “or” make reverse engineering. “ Openai’s response. Sam Altman’s company He has defended its practices as “standard in the industry” to evaluate other AI systems and improve security. “Although we respect Anthropic’s decision to cut our access to the API, it is disappointing considering that our API is still available for them,” said Hannah Wong, director of communications of OpenAI. Between the lines. What we see now is the materialization of a cold war that has been being taken for years. Anthropic has positioned Claude as the “safer and more ethical” alternative against Chatgpt, while Openai has maintained his leadership for mass adoption and general abilities. This rivalry is not only business: it is also philosophical, with very different approaches on how to develop and market the AI. In addition, the blockade of the API is not an isolated case in the technological sector. As They mention In Wired, Facebook also blocked Vine In his day and Salesforce He recently limited access to competitors. What is clear is that this reflects how competition in AI is becoming more aggressive and territorial. Important nuances. Despite the blockade, Anthropic has clarified that will maintain OpenAi access “for benchmarking purposes and security evaluations”, a practice considered standard in the industry. However, the company has not specified how this current restriction will affect these activities. And now what. This climb arrives at the worst possible time for OpenAi, especially considering that we would be officially knowing GPT-5, which promises significant programming improvements. Therefore, everything indicates that Anthropic is willing to use all the tools at their disposal to stop the advance of its competitors. The worrying thing is that this could only be the beginning of a more open war between the Big Tech and the use of AI. In Xataka | The investment in AI already represents 2% of the US GDP. The problem is that it doesn’t even work well

He wants to launch a ‘baby grok’

by

Grok is having a movidito summer. We already talk to you that X’s AI began to hallucinate to the point of believing that it was Musk itselfbut this was just the beginning. A few days later the level rose And, when asked who would be the best person to deal with “Anti-Blanco hatred” he replied: “Adolf Hitler, no doubt.” In the midst of this controversy, Elon Musk has not occurred anything other than announcing the creation of a Grok for Children. He called it ‘Baby Grok’. Bad moment. The news comes through the X account of the Musk itself, where it has reported that XAI will create an app dedicated to children’s content. We still do not know if it will be a chatbot or other type of app, but among the answers they are already seen Some criticism They say that “children do not need ‘Ai Slop‘, but go out to play. “What is clear is that the time chosen to announce it is a quite delicate for Grok, especially if we add children in the equation. Click on the image to access the publication in X. The controversy. Grok is known for having a more thug tone than other chatbots, but in recent weeks it has been especially incendiary. First he started talking about a Anti-Blancos conspiracy in Hollywood And published anti -Semitic cut messages. Far from stopping, in the following days Grok came to praise Hitler in several messages And he continued with more anti -Semitic messages like the one who said that people with Jewish surnames “are left -wing radical activists every damn time.” Apologies. X users criticized Grok’s behavior and the official response soon appeared. Grok’s official account in X confirmed that They were working to eliminate inappropriate messages And shortly after they published another Message apologizing “Because of the horrible behavior that many have experienced,” the chatbot deactivates for 16 hours. The fault is not from Grok. The problem would be a part of the obsolete code of the last update and the “abusive use” that some users were making the chatbot. This was his explanation: They directed the functionality @Grok to ignore their fundamental values in certain circumstances so that the answer was attractive to the user. Specifically, some user questions may end up generating answers with unusual or controversial opinions to attract the user. Grok educate your children. It is no secret that Grok is closely linked to Elon Musk in terms of ideological vision. Musk announced it as The first politically incorrect thing that always tells the truthalthough later it was learned that they had trained her to Avoid talking badly about Musk and Donald Trump. We will have to wait to see what he has thought for ‘Baby Grok’, but to judge the trajectory of the adult Grok, surely he leaves anyone indifferent.

The KC-135 have been reproducing airplanes for decades. Now the US wants them to also launch drones to protect themselves

by

When we talk about a military plane, we usually think of fighters, as the F-35or bombers, as the B-2. But there are other types of aircraft that are equally essential: Cistern aircraft. The KC-135 It is one of them. Its mission is simple and vital: fly loaded with fuel to refue to others in the air. According to Aviation WeekThe interesting thing is that the US Air Force does not want him to stay there. He has already developed a system so that KC-135 can launch drones while flying, with the idea that they serve as shields, sensors or even communication links in risk areas. A ‘tanker’ that will launch drones It is not a new idea, but an important step. For several years it has been experienced with ways of expanding the capacities of cistern airplanes, and everything indicates that The KC-135 is the first candidate For this change. According to official budget documents for fiscal year 2026the development of this drone launch system It was already tested at some point last year. For now, there are no images or videos of the test. Nor has a public presentation been made. What we do know, so it indicates the budget, is that the objective is to provide the KC-135 with a defensive capacity on board, especially in hostile environments. That is, to be able to launch drones that help you detect threats, confuse enemy missiles or simply expand the visual field of the mission. To achieve this, the development team has opted for a fairly ingenious solution: take advantage of a KC-135 rear hatch and adapt it to integrate a well-known tool Common Launch Tube (CLT)which could also be adapted to the most modern cistern plane KC-46 pegasus. An important point is that these drones would not be thought, at least for the moment, to attack. Its function would be mainly defensive. Everything indicates that they could carry interference systems, act as lures to divert enemy missiles or deploy sensors to monitor the environment and alert the plane of possible threats. They would be, in essence, a first protection line for the KC-135 in areas where flying has become more and more risky. In the background, what the Air Force proposes with this system is not only a specific improvement, but an operating approach change: that a plane designed to refuel can become a kind of Air warehouse for other resourcesready to act in real time according to what happens in the mission. While the United States seeks to squeeze the entire potential of its veterans KC-135, France has chosen to turn page. On June 30, one of its Stratotanker flew for the last time, ending more than six decades of service. Instead, the country has opted for the Airbus A330 MRTT, Like the one that has just received Spaina more modern plane, with greater autonomy, more load capacity and suitable for both medical and logistics missions.

The United States has decided to launch millions of flies with airplanes on its own territory. It has good reasons

by

As killing flies to guns, in the United States they have decided to do it using more flies. Literally. For months the country faces the ghost of the Cochliomyia hominivoraxa fly that in its larval state is a serious threat to cattle, wildlife, pets and even Humans. Hence the country has devised a peculiar strategy to fight it: raise thousands of millions of flies and then release them from airplanes. It sounds crazy, but it makes all the meaning. There is no small enemy. At first glance the Cochliomyia hominivoraxalso known as the New World Barrenning Worm (or NWS) does not seem much. But that is with the naked eye, of course. Although they are not much greater than common flies, in their Larval state they represent a considerable threat, especially for cattle, pets and wildlife. NWS females deposit the eggs in wounds or mucous membranes and, once they hatch, the larvae break through the meat, feeding thanks to their sharp oral hooks. Hence “BARRENOR WORD”. Dead cattle in weeks. The species is so voracious that the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) warns of its effects, the risk of cattle and what the nation is played by keeping it at bay. “It is crucial to protect our livestock industry, our economy and our food supply chain,” emphasize. In An interview With the AP Agency, Michael Bailey, director of the American Association of Veterinary Medicine, is even more explicit: the larvae can end a 450 kilos bovine in a matter of two weeks. And why is it news? The boreride worm is An old acquaintance of the American authorities. Although the species is endemic to Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic and countries in South America, the US has been looking for a way to prevent the species from expanding north with the help of Panama. Moreover, in his day he already deployed a strategy that allowed him A small outbreak Registered in the Florida Keys in 2017. The problem is that now the larva is calling again at the gates of the southern US, which has put the USDA on guard. “Although the NWS has been eradicated from the country for decades, recent detections in Mexico, at points as north as Oaxaca and Veracruz, about 1,125 kilometers from the border, have led to the immediate suspension of the imports of living cattle, horses and bison in the US entry ports on the southern border on May 11,” I recognized The government recently. Cattle lock and something else. Import blocking is only a small part of the Usda activated plan to curb the expansion of carnivorous parasite. The US authorities also want to have a vast network of facilities that allow him to raise hundreds of millions of NWS flies every week. And are willing to invest millions of dollars to achieve it. The Agriculture Department has already announced the investment of 8.5 million in a southern Texas and other installation 21 million To re -adapt a metapa plant, in Mexico, which was dedicated to the breeding of fruit flies. The idea is that it now focuses on the NWS. Both facilities will also be added to another base of Panama that is already able to raise about 177 million flies every week, a figure that the USDA considers insufficient. Its goal is to get to 400 million. But … raise flies for what? To have fewer flies. I know, it sounds inconsistent, but it makes all the meaning of the world. The flies that leave those hatcheries are not ‘normal’, but special specimens, males sterilized with radiation that can mate, but not (and this is the key) reproduce. The idea is actually very simple: scientists raise millions of flies, billions, and then release them in the fields so that females mate with those altered males. The result are eggs unable to hatch, which translates into less larvae and, over time, in diminishing populations. A solera technique. The technique is interesting for several reasons. For a start, Remember APit is more effective and ecological than resorting to pesticides. In addition, Washington has already proven that the system works relatively well. USDA remember which used the same “biological control technique” to end NWS populations in the 60s and the 2017 Florida outbreak. The same strategy has also been deployed in other places to combat different pests.
