He already did it in April 2022 When he offered to buy 100% Twittermovement that ended up specifying In October of that same year after several ideas and coming. Elon Musk gets back in the center of the scene, this time with an unexpected Acquisition offer directed towards OpenAIone of the most important artificial intelligence (AI) companies. As the Wall Street Journal collectsthe businessman leads an investor consortium to buy the organization behind Chatgpt for 97.4 billion dollars. The proposal, which has a hostile nature because it comes without prior negotiation between both parties, has been presented this Monday before the Board of Directors of the company led by Sam Altman. “It’s time for Openai to force the open source And focused on the security that once was, ”said Musk in a statement released by his lawyer Marc Uberooff.

launches pay payments for credit customers in Spain

by

In its mission of consolidating itself as an increasingly solid alternative to traditional banking, Revolution Continue to incorporate new features. Began ensuring deposit protection, He continued to eliminate the Lithuanian And he took another step by integrating Bizum. Now, the British Neobanco has decided to offer the Payment to your clients in Spain. It is an initiative that will allow to acquire products and pay them in installments. The service will be available for purchases of 50 euros or more for customer credit card customers. Payments can be divided into 3, 6, 9 or 12 months, with a nominal interest rate (TIN) of 14.93%, lower than the ‘revolving’ model of the revolution itself, which is 21.94%. How does Revolution’s installments work? To understand how Revolution’s payment operates, we must first clarify what it is not. It is not ‘revolving’Nor ‘Buy now, pay later.’ In the first case, the user decides at the end of the month if he wants to fraction the purchases made with his credit card in small periodic installments, which makes it a practical option for some scenarios. In the second case, with ‘Buy now, pay later’, the decision is made at the time of purchase: a first disbursement is made and the rest is paid in several equal installments during the following weeks or months. For example, if we make a 100 purchase and decided to segment it in four payments, at the time of the operation we will pay the first 25 euros. And Revolution’s payment payment? Here is different: it can be decided Before closing the monthly cycle of the card if the payment of one or more products that we have acquired is divided. This means that Revolution’s customers now have three card payment options: pay all expenses at the end of the month, use ‘revolving’ or the new payment payment. Neobancos are a reality in Spain. They have been trying to conquer traditional banking customers with a modern design, variety of cards, interesting proposals and greater agility. Revolution is one of the best known neobans, but it is not the only one. We also find options such as N26, Nickel or Trade Republic.

After setting upside down the AI ​​industry, Depseek launches its first model that understands and creates images: Janus Pro

by

In full hangover for its model R1Deepseek has just launched Janus Pro 7ban AI model to generate images from text and understand other images that are introduced. And yes, it is also open source, although with An asterisk similar to the flame. Why is it important. Until now, multimodal models have had to juggle between understanding and generation of images, sacrificing efficiency or performance. Janus Pro 7B resolves this dilemma with a new proposal: unifies the understanding and generation of images in a single architecture. Innovation. The model introduces a “double track” system for visual processing: Separate the coding paths to understand and generate images. It maintains a single transformer to process all the information. Use Siglip-l as visual encoder for 384×384 pixels. Janus Pro comparative in the face of your predecessor for several applications. Image: Deepseek. This resolution is its main inconvenience, it seems much more oriented to already experience uses of little ambition than to the applications that we can assume other proposals such as Midjourney either Freepikwhich usually start from 1024×1024 pixels. However, Janus Pro is not a generator of images to use, but a multimodal model with several capacities. Of course, this resolution allows an optimal balance between quality and processing speed … for uses that are conducted with it. Between the lines. Janus Pro 7B’s architecture is especially relevant for its efficiency: Compact size of 7,000 million (“7b”) of parameters. Higher performance to larger specific models. Open source under MIT license for the repository, although the model itself requires accepting the Deepseek license. The MIT license It allows anyone to use, modify and distribute the code freely, even for commercial purposes, provided that the original copyright notice is maintained. It is one of the most permissive licenses that exist. The Deepseek licenseon the other hand, it is free and allows commercial uses, but includes specific ethical restrictions, such as the prohibition of military use or the generation of misinformation. In perspective. Janus Pro 7B is not only another multimodal model, but a new paradigm in the architecture of IAS that can see and create. Its unified but decentralized approach may well end up influencing future developments. The model is built on Deepseek-Llm-7b-Basethe base language model of the Chinese startup, announced in August 2024. of it inherits its language processing capabilities while adding advanced visual abilities. Its 16X subsample system for the generation of images allows you to maintain efficiency without compromising quality.

Perplexity launches an assistant for Android. An all in one that marks a before and after

by

The AI ​​Assistant Perplexity comes to Android with an enormous promise: to become the first truly useful assistant on your mobile. Or at least that it is capable of going far beyond what we knew. Why is it important. This is not just another AI app. Perplexity integrates real-time web search, multitasking control and advanced automation in an interface that seeks to understand the context of your needs. The context. Current mobile assistants are limited and frustrating when compared to the capabilities of an AI chatbot. Perplexity breaks these barriers by being able to maintain coherent conversations while doing tasks in different apps. That is, it combines the capabilities of an AI chatbot with the classic assistant. It integrates with apps like Uber, Spotify and YouTube, as well as messaging and watch apps. More will come. It is multimodal, so it supports voice, text and camera… …so it can even “see” what you have on the screen. It is available in fifteen languages. Maintains context between different actions. Access information in real time thanks to reading websites. Between the lines. The most important thing about Perplexity Assistant for Android is its ability to maintain context. For example, if you ask it about Italian restaurants near you, it will be able to automatically reserve the place that best suits your previous preferences and your usual dining time. Context. More case studies: You can identify a product, even if it is newly launched, using the camera. The Verge mentions his success in spotting a promotional toy released just two days ago. You can compose and send emails maintaining our usual writing style. You can manage our calendar by creating contextualized events. For example, “remind me to take my heart pill two hours before the Valencia game.” Something more concrete: you can ask him ‘play the song that plays at the end of the movie’Interstellar‘”. The big question. Is Perplexity going to be able to unseat the Google Assistant, or at least be more capable of competing with ChatGPT by having your own scope of action? Although it is not easy at all, it is in a good position: it is already valued at 9 billion dollars, so it has the financial and technological muscle to try. Go deeper. The power of this assistant lies, above all, in its proprietary search engine. It is what allows you to give updated and accurate answers. And what makes it overcome the limitations of chatbots that are based on pre-trained systems. The assistant for Android can be activated from the Perplexity appreplacing the native Google one. As for whether it will come to iOS, it seems complicated: the company remains open to this possibility as long as Apple “grants them the appropriate permissions.” Featured image | Perplexity In Xataka | If you have Movistar, you have Perplexity Pro for free: so you can use it and get the most out of it
