The search as we knew it is over. Google’s AI Mode no longer delivers results, he talks

by

In recent times, Perplexity has done something that seemed unthinkable: Make Google Search feel old. With its conversational interface, direct answers, linked references and a relentless update rhythm, has shown that a search engine with not only possible, but desirable. It is faster, clearer, more useful. And increasingly popular. Many already have it as FJA tab. Google has taken note. And he has responded. The most important announcement – although somewhat camouflaged – of the I/O 2025 It was not a new model or an ultra intelligent agent. It was this: Ai mode arrives at Search and Gemini. Or in other words: Google has begun to transform its search engine into something that looks a lot like perplexity. For now it is only for users of the United States –argh–, but the movement is clear. When AI Mode activates in the Gemini app, the user stops doing classic style searches and begins to receive direct answers generated by the model, with links to sources, relevant context and capabilities to go beyond: compare, ask for explanations, continue asking. The search engine no longer delivers blue link lists, not even a summary above. Find conversation. In this way, Gemini is not a conversational model. It is an active knowledge engine, A synthesis of LLM, browser and assistantwith the ambition to replace the habit of “google” with that of “asking.” You can search for flights, understand documents, ask for cross opinions or compare articles. And all that, without touching an external page. This is not The results with generative that we saw will arrive in Spain a couple of months ago. This goes much further. That were generative responses about classic results. Ai mode is something else: It is more perplexity, more direct, more useful. And more dangerous for the web ecosystem. Because here is the turn that nobody should overlook. In Perplexity, at least for now, the sources are visible, well prominent, and are central to the experience. In ai mode, on the other hand, ambition seems different: respond so much and so well that the user does not feel the need to leave. A closed, polished, self -sufficient experience. That changes things. Not only for the user, who can stop distinguishing between response and source. Also for the media, creators, forums, specialists. Everything that today feeds Gemini from the web becomes less visible in the process. Knowledge is preserved, but loses authorship On the surface. Perplexity Forced Google to advance. But in doing so, Google has changed certain rules. He has taken what works – the synthesis, natural language, speed – and integrates it into an ecosystem, broader, more fluid, also more opaque. If Perpleplexity was a pioneer in experience, Google now counterattacks with total integration. Therefore, the AI ​​Mode in Gemini is not just a technical novelty. It is a paradigm change in how we look, how we read, how we inform ourselves. The user no longer consults a database. Interact with a system that interprets, selects, synthesizes and responds. Google has caught where the search is going. And has decided to move. But in his style. In Xataka | Google has put a price on the future of AI: $ 250 per month Outstanding image | Google

Spain is no longer a problem for Telefónica. But it is not your solution yet

by

Telefónica has achieved what seemed unlikely recently: return to your domestic market to the growth field. Upward income, a convergent ARPU triggered and close to the triple digit, customers won on all fronts, terminals and upward alarms, TV in its best form since before the pandemic, Churn at bay … All that is already happening, but The most relevant is not only what happens in the figures, but what happens in the strategy. Spain has ceased to be a river to The Great T.but this has not yet decided to turn it into spearhead. Or that’s what is read between the lines. During The last presentation of resultsthe first of Murtra, Emilio Gayo, newly promoted to CEO after his success at the head of the Spanish subsidiary, heard the positive data of the quarter. But Transcription of the call with investors It transmits some coldness. As if it was enough to run well to change the course of the story. As if the good moment is enough to hold it without mutating it. The needle of the action moves the balance, but also the illusion. What Gayo did not say speak as much as what he did pronounced: Telefónica is not using Spain as a strategic trampoline. It does not position it as a test field for new business lines, nor does it present it as a showcase of what can be a large telecus, but also modern, profitable, diversified. Not even as an operational matrix of Telefónica Tech, although in Spain this segment grows at a good pace. They are still unreottered their margins or their detailed results, it is a promise still locked in an opaque showcase. And what is not seen, hardly valued. Spain works, but The group has not yet shown the same determination to define its course as in Latin Americawhere They opted for an immediate exit After years in red. The context asks something else. Telefónica is in full strategic review (Gayo himself has said explicitly), And that review points in several directions: Consolidation in large markets (Spain, Germany, United Kingdom). Reinforcement of not strictly Telecos divisions (Tech, Infra). Industrial narrative, infrastructure, more than technological, which is the mystique that today is in the markets. In that framework, the logical thing would be to make Spain a success case. A replicable pilot. An example of advanced convergence (average of 92 eurazos per client, rather than in countries with greater purchasing power), premium loyalty, differential content, Diversification of income beyond voice and data. But Telefónica is presenting good numbers as data, not as a vision. It is not just a matter of story, it is a matter of course. Especially Now that Telefónica is running as a key piece in the European consolidation of the sector: The inaugural speech of the MWC crying out for her did not give the CEO of Deutsche Telekom or Vodafone or Orange, Murtra gave it. That ambition is more than Buy or fuse Digis either Vodafonesit implies proposing another way of being a teleco in this new era. And if there is one way, it can only be born from the places where Telefónica is already winning, where it does not play defensive. If Gayo and Murtra want to make Telefónica a European champion (Financial Times He slid days after the goodbye of Pallete that this was the idea with Murtra), there will be more than financial muscle or client volume: a model, a successful narrative, a value proposition that justifies that central role in the European map of telecommunications. Spain could be perfectly that modelbut Telefónica has not yet decided if you want to use it to inspire or just to consolidate. And that indecision has a cost. In a sector where all companies are redefining what they want to be – which They play to be platformstechnological that They rent networkshybrids that They reinvent the service…—, who does not propose stays out. Although their kpis shine, even if their domestic market breathes again. Nokia launched very solid terminals while Apple invented the future that would ruin it. AT&T prioritized the scale without a clear thesis and today has blurred in front of more pre -pre -rivals. Yahoo never knew what he wanted to be and The market decided on it. Telefónica is not at risk of disappearing, but if you are out of the game that matters. He is in time to decide his role, but that time to do so will not be infinite. The most difficult is already done: Spain works again for Telefónica. What has not yet been done is decide what that means. If Telefónica wants to lead Europe, you must first demonstrate it at home.

Ukraine has turned drones into armed soldiers against Russia. It is no longer necessary to “sacrifice them” because they carry launched

by

That the war in Ukraine has become the largest field of technologies and war artillery. out of any doubt. However, if you had to name a single protagonist, that would be the use of drones as “animals” of Combat for everything. The Ukrainian country, in fact, has become one of the Great industries of the planet in the sector developing many of the most advanced (and important, economic) prototypes to date. The latest: turn drones into authentic soldiers of the future holding launched in flight. Aerreo launches. As we said, Ukraine has reached a new mile With a launchersuch and As he revealed The Ukrainian company Wild Hornets, specialized in military technology. The images, disseminated by the company itself in Your telegram channelThey show what they describe as the “exclusive death” of a Russian soldier reached by one of these devices on the Novopavlivka front. The attack was carried out by the Bulava Unit of the separate presidential brigade, and they did it by adapting their drone “Queen of Hornets”(A heavy model usually designed for bombings) to carry and shoot a precision grooved from the air. The operation, in addition to having tactical success, served as proof of concept and exhibition of the modified design, whose stability when triggering resolved one of the main technical obstacles: the recoil. Mortal precision. After the videos and the exclusive, Diego RodríguezRecognition drone operator in the body of unmanned systems, He expressed his astonishment Because this technology has not been implemented before, underlining its technical superiority against Kamikaze drones. In the expert’s opinion, the throws from drones allow faster, accurate and silent attacks, since Granada rounds fly faster and more reaching, reducing the enemy’s reaction margin and exposure to electronic countermeasures. The reason? The drone can shoot, retreat and recharge, multiplying its usefulness Without losing unity In the attack. Faced with the traditional explosive drones that emit noise and give the enemy time to protect themselves, the granades projected from the air arrive almost instantaneously, making them impossible to dodge them. Without anticipation. Another expert, in this case Vadym Feshchenkoex grenadier converted in drone operator, stressed that this innovation completely alters the defensive habits of the enemy. Russian troops have learned to observe the movements of drones to anticipate when they will release their explosive load, but a drone that shoots in full flight eliminates that reaction window. Feshchenko also highlighted the weapons versatility employee, pointing out that some modern launch projectiles have the capacity to drill up to seven centimeters of armorwhich expands its applicability against fortified vehicles and positions. As these systems multiply, it is likely that the simple sound of a drone forces enemy soldiers to retire or hide, increasing the psychological and tactical impact of the device, also as a deterrence In full fray. From standard prototype. That said, what we see is an evolution. In September 2024 already Videos circulated of tests where Ukrainian FPV drones carried RPG-18 launches. While then rudimentary prototypes were considered, their possibilities were already evident. As counted in Ukrainian media, a collateral advantage of this system is Risk decrease For technicians and engineers who must manually assemble kamikaze drones, exposing themselves to injuries that are rarely made public. In this regard, the partial automation that allows an armed and reusable drone represents a step forward in terms of operational security. Adaptive Engineering They remembered in Insider That although the first use in combat has been attributed to Ukraine, the idea of ​​mounting launched in drones had already been proposed in 2021 through the Display Belarusian Design Cabinet during a Russian military exhibition. The most complex technical challenge was drone stability When shooting, since most quadcopters are too light to support the backward. However, The “Queen of Hornets”due to its size and reinforced design, it seems to have resolved this obstacle: in the Video widespreadno instability is observed after the shot. In parallel, Ukrainian engineers have managed to convert even agricultural drones such as the DJI AGRAS T30 (originally designed for fumigation) on attack platforms, equipping them with PKM machine guns and launched Bullspike-Atcapable of attacking tanks, self -propelled artillery and fortified positions. A radical transformation. As we told at the beginning, the war in Ukraine is changing many of the war concepts that were in the battles of the past. But above any other actor, the introduction Drone successnow even shooting grenades from airmarks a before and after in the development of the technological war. While traditional artillery and heavy weapons continue to play an important role, the miniaturization of fire power and its integration into reusable and precise drones represents a strategic advance that combines efficiency, lethality and operational economy. The question now is not whether this technology will be extended, but rather how fast Ukraine can produce it in mass and how Russia will respond to a threat that becomes increasingly silent, unpredictable and difficult to stop.

You can no longer buy anything from there to be sent direct from China

by

The turn is radical. Temu has stopped showing foreign sellers products to US users. In other words, you can no longer buy items that are sent directly from China, just The model that converted to the platform in a phenomenon of electronic commerce in that country. The change occurs in full commercial shaking: the Trump government has eliminated Customs exemption for packages of less than $ 800 from China. “Temu has recently migrated its operations in the United States to a local distribution model. This means that all sales in that country are now managed by local vendors, and orders are processed from the territory itself,” a spokesman explained to Wired. Goodbye to direct access to Chinese sellers. The immediate consequence is clear: American buyers can no longer directly acquire products from China, which is a complete turn with respect to the usual operation of the platform in that market. Sales are now in the hands of local vendors, and the available catalog is limited exclusively to articles stored in US territory. A new label: “Local warehouse”. All products available in the American app now carry the “local warehouse” label. Although many of them remain manufactured in China, they are physically stored in the United States, which exempts them from the new customs tariffs. This nuance is key: Temu has not eliminated the products of Chinese origin, but it has eliminated the possibility of buying them directly from the country of origin, breaking the traditional channel that had allowed him to offer such low prices. The attempt to show tariffs. Before blocking, Temu came to show import positions over 100 % of the original price. On their website, it was read: “Imported articles to the United States may be subject to import positions. These charges cover all customs processes and costs, including tariffs paid to the authorities in your name.” That section is still visible, but has lost practical sense, since now no user in the United States can buy products that are sent from outside the country. Temu’s strategy to make visible the impact of tariffs apparently did not prosper. Manufactured in China, stored in the United States. Although the direct channel has broken, Chinese products are still present. Many of the current articles were imported before the entry into force of the new standards. But that stock is limited. According to Chinellerseverything indicates that it will be the sellers themselves who will assume the import procedures and the management of the new tariffs, presumably transferring them in part or in their entirety at the price that consumers pay. The impact of the tariff war. The change of model is not understood without the context. At the beginning of the month, the Trump administration raised tariffs up to 145 % For certain imports from China. Today, May 2, the Elimination of the exemption known as “of Minimis”which allowed to import products of less than $ 800 without paying taxes. A blow that goes beyond Temu. According to CNNmany low -income Americans used Temu as a way of access to affordable products. That access has now closed. The platform faces the greatest challenge since its arrival in the US market. The model that made it grow has come down, and it is not clear if the measure will be temporary or definitive. What is certain is that the commercial environment has changed, and Temu will have to adapt if you want to continue competing.

When human talent is no longer essential

by

Duolingo has taken a step that seems small, almost technical: it will replace part of its network of external collaborators with generative. His CEO announced it, Luis von Ahnin an internal email that Then he posted on LinkedIn. But after that phrase that sounds corporate because it is – “we will be a company Ai-first” – A larger turn is hidden. Not only in your strategy. In the type of world we started to live. What Duolingo has done is not simply automating tasks. Is Demonstrate that, in certain industries, human talent is no longer a necessary condition to create value at scale. What was previously slow, expensive and artisanal – create formative content – can now be synthesized in mass and in seconds. Without exhaustion. Without payrolls. No creative demands. In silence. In the last thirty years, the Internet put us in An economy where human capital – ideas, creativity, language, criteria – was the great bottleneck. People were still essential. But we are seeing the beginning of decoupling: the separation between digital value and direct human contribution. A new starting point. The generative AI not only replaces tasks. Is starting with redraw the merit border. Knowing how to do something well is not enough. If a machine can do it “sufficiently”, you can get out of the map. Although your version is better. Although your criteria is finer. The qualitative differential no longer compensates for the speed and scale. And in that logic, talent ceases to be a protected asset. It becomes optional. Duolingo will not be the only one. It has only been the first to say it without surroundings. It sounds like a sample of what is coming. Companies that no longer hire if they do not automate, Like shopify. Departments in which it is measured how much value you contribute with ia, not without it. And a new type of worker that must show that it is still competitive … in front of a machine. This moment marks A rupture. Creativity, for decades, was a shelter against automation. Now is your next land. And that forces us to ask ourselves more uncomfortable questions: if talent is no longer essential, what is the place of human work in the digital economy? What remains of professional prestige when excellence no longer guarantees relevance? The story will remember this gesture of Duolingo not because of its immediate effect, but for what it anticipates. A new phase. More than a technological change, a mutation in the rules of the game.

Chinese cars no longer compete against the West. Compete against the future itself

by

For years, the West was the goal. The mirror where Chinese brands were looked at. The standard that had to be achieved. Today, that mirror is broken. Byd, Xiaomi, Zeekr, Nio or Jaecoo and omoda —The new heads of the Chery group in Europe – no longer mimic Tesla, Mercedes, BMW or Jeep. They play on another board. One that did not even exist five years ago. A land where The car is no longer just engine, or prestige, or inheritance: it is a digital platform, it is integrated emotion, It is services fluidity. While in Europe it is still discussed if the electric car can be profitable and in the United States automotive has become a political fight, In China the car has mutated something different: a living, sensitive, evolutionary object. A product in perpetual beta, as a software that learns, feels and redefines. Each new model launched by Chinese brands is less one car and more a manifesto, a declaration of intentions. Plus a commitment to the future than an answer to the present. He Xiaomi Su7 Ultra It is not an improved alternative to Model 3. It is a complete reinvention of the Premium car idea: 800 km of autonomy, ultra -grape load of 370 kilometers in 10 minutes, indoor level, native digital ecosystem, emotional assistants. The car not only drives: he lives, he feels, he talks. Byd, with all its brands, carries this transformation even further: models such as the Yangwang U8 or the denza Z do not offer luxury by themselves, but luxury as an emotional extension of technology, with an absolute domain of the software and an obsession with the user’s sensory experience. Each gesture, every texture, each lighting has an emotional purpose, not just functional. Yangwang U8L. Image: Xataka. Denza Z. Image: Xataka. Nio and Zeekr, meanwhile, explore the car as extension of the vital ecosystem: interchangeable batteries in minutes, voice assistants that learn from you, environmental screens that transform the cabin into an intimate space. They do not sell cars. They sell life experiences. And this phenomenon no longer remains in China. We are seeing it in Europe with omoda and jaecootwo brands that the Chery group has brought to Spain with a clear proposal: expressive design, advanced digital interfaces, full connectivity technology at a price that makes it difficult to ignore them. Omoda 3. Image: omoda. He Omoda 5 and the Jaecoo 7 They do not simply seek to replicate a German or Japanese SUV. They seek to build another car idea: more sensory, more digital, more emotional. He Omoda 3 He has consolidated that idea: it’s not just a car, it’s something else. And in their presentation they were insistent with the emotional aspect. In the interview we have published in XatakaCharlie Zhang, vice president of Chery, told us in Wuhu: “The stereotype has deflated at the speed of our sales.” A phrase that summarizes how China no longer needs to imitate anyone: now define its own rules. Because it is no longer just about electrification. Not even autonomy.It’s about redefining what it means to possess and live a car. China no longer seeks to live up to it, but directly design the next level. In Shanghai it was clear: the future of the car is no longer decided in Munich or Detroit. He is incubating in Beijing, in Shenzhen, in Wuhu. And the West, this time, no longer carries the lead.

The answer that recruiters no longer want to hear in work interviews

by

In each selection process, there is a moment That everyone fear And few know how to drive with ease because it implies facing personal weaknesses themselves: “What is your greatest weakness?”. The pressure to interpret the perfect candidate paper For the position, suddenly, he begins to make a dent and give a wrong answer can Make you lose points. The result is that, as the expert sociologist and Tiktoker Andrea Ramos (@Reclutidovoy,) counted In one of his videos: recruiters are already tired of always hearing the same. Although it seems impossible, there is an adequate answer for this question, and some recruitment experts have revealed the secret. Wonders for a good reason At some point in the selection process The inevitable question arises And candidates know that their words should measure a lot. They cannot answer simply with a: “I am Unable to wake up In time in the morning “or with a” I have a tendency to get out of problems“Because that, logically, would cause its immediate rejection. That weakness, clashes frontally with the responsibilities of the position and is not making amendment purpose. According to Sonia RodríguezSenior consultant in technical engineering in Randstad with more than a decade of experience in personnel selection, “the objective of this question is to know the level of self -knowledge that candidates have about their professional skills. What we are interested in knowing is what he would like to improve as a professional, not in the personal sphere.” For Lidia Sanz CostaTechnique of Selection, Development and Training in Companies IMAN, “The purpose of this question is not only to know what skills the candidate lacks, but to understand how he perceives himself, how he manages his weak points and if they can affect or not affect the role he will play.” “I am very perfectionist”: the answer that no longer works As Andrea Ramos pointed out in her video, the most common answer to this question is “I am very perfectionist”, and this is confirmed by the staff selection experts we have consulted. “‘I am very perfectionist’ or ‘I am very responsible’, I would say that 90% of the candidates comment one or both arguments,” says Rodríguez. According to the Tiktoker expert in human resources, This phrase has become a cliché So repeated that recruiters detect it instantly and discard it automatically. Simply, it doesn’t sneak. The problem of this answer is that it already sounds like a template taken from the Internet or LinkedIn, and does not provide real information about the candidate. “We expect sincerity. If a person comments that he is good to work as a team, but in the day to day he avoids participating in meetings, that is where we see that there is an incoherence with what he explained in the interview. That is why we value that the candidates can share a realistic weakness, but also to explain how it is minimizing it,” says Sanz. Common errors and the correct way to respond Among the most common errors When answering this question, it stands out to limit Respond with monosyllablesremain silent, or ensure that there is no weakness. “It’s about responding with sincerity and naturalness, in the end nobody is perfect and as I say in interviews to lead this issue: ‘We all have something to continue working to be better than yesterday,” says Randstad’s expert. For Lidia Sanz, the ideal is to show a real weaknessbut that does not directly affect the performance of the position. And the most important thing is to explain What is being done to improve it. Know recognize a weak point and be doing something to improve it It says a lot about a person at a professional level. “If someone says that it is difficult for him to speak in public, he can add that he is being formed or has begun to participate in meetings to gain confidence. It is also important arguments and positive speech,” the recruiter advised.

The electric SUV that no longer asks for permission

by

It is not necessary to look twice to realize that Wuhua city 1,100 km south of Beijing and 340 km west of Shanghai, it is not exactly Detroit. But in its own way, This Chinese city begins to resemble the epicenter of something. Chery – and all its brands, including Omoda and Jaecoo– He has turned his facilities into a kind of living laboratory of the future of the car. Here it is executed, it is not rehearsed. And in the midst of that deployment, I have had the opportunity to drive the new Jaecoo 5 EV: the electric version of this Chinese SUV, reasonably accessible … and very serious. The silence that speaks The first thing that attracts attention is how well they have done, in addition to their suspicious nothing similar to the lines of the Range Rover (with whom Chery has an old agreement to be your manufacturer in China). There is no trace of that condescension with which the West used to look at the Chinese automobile industry. Jaecoo 5 EV does not come to learn, but to compete. In Wuhu they know it, and that is why an almost provocative calm is breathed. As if they were already clear that they will win, but they were not in a hurry to prove it. Image: Xataka. The second thing that attracts attention is autonomy: it marked 94% km with the activated echo mode. At the end of the test it marked 329 km for the remaining 73%. If we make a rule of three, at 73% should be superior, about 343 km, but we made use of the air conditioning and some moments of forced driving to test it through its sport mode. So and everything, it is still a more than remarkable autonomy. Image: Xataka. In motion, the car confirms suspicions: this is not an experiment, but a mature product. The driving is soft, as expected in an electric, but also firm in what is not usually expected in a SUV: stability. Take curves without drama or unnecessary inclinations. There is no ship feeling, not even when hurrying in faster sections. The suspension filters with solvency, in the potholes with some forcefulness, and at all times seems more focused on transmitting security than show. He gets it. And also with the sepulchral silence that can be expected from an electric. Do like us on this trip and Stay connected whatever your destination. Always navigate at high speed and With unlimited data with the ESIM from Holafly and forget about unpleasant surprises on the bill.

Council offered by the brand The finishes, another maturity symptom, point in the same direction. There are no luxuries, but Criteria: Where to play, there are pleasant and padded materials; Where it is not seen or touched, hard plastics appear. The fair and the intelligent to keep prices at bay. It is a car that aims to be around 30,000 euros, perhaps something else, in this electric version, and that, More than reasonable, it is strategic. Image: Xataka. Image: Xataka. Regeneration, yes, needs one more return. It has three levels: the lowest, which is almost decorative; Another intermediate but still very soft, and a third that flirts with excess. I miss a real intermediate point. Also the brake pedal, otherwise, has a somewhat more abrupt stretch, as if he resisted to accept that the car has already stopped. It’s not much less serious, but it’s not the most elegant. And matters in a car that aspires to seduce for its silent refinement. What is surprising is everything else: the visualization of surrounding traffic – at the style that Tesla marked the industry – works precisely and without histrionisms, as adequate are the recreations of the car in 3D and 360º. Mention for driving aids, especially the anti -collisions system, which worked great: the speaker sounds and the steering wheel vibrates if the car detects that we throw ourselves towards an obstacle in braking. Not only in static, but detecting that the car in front is stopping even if it continues to move. The 360º view and the recreation of the traffic around us. Image: Xataka. This kind of pip with recreation appears when we use the intermittent. Image: Xataka. Image: Xataka. Image: Xataka. The ventilation in the seats in a car of this price fork is a detail. Image: Xataka. Image: Xataka. At the end of the journey, the Jaecoo 5 screen indicates that we have 1 hour and 37 minutes of driving and that the average consumption has been 13.1 kWh per 100 kilometers. It is a very competitive consumption for an electric SUV of this size, which speaks of its good mixture of aerodynamics, efficient motor management and weightly contained weight. Is A autonomy consistent with what the car projects: more solidity than show. Image: Xataka. More than a car, a statement But the most interesting is not the car. It is the context. Wuhu is not just a geographical place. It is a coordinate on the map of who wants a change of rules. From here, Chery has created a pair with omoda and Jaecoo who no longer wants to imitate Europeans, wants to advance them. And with a known recipe: ATIBORRAR OF EQUIPMENT. Take care of aesthetics a lot. Offer technology that works. And maintain an aggressive price. But they They do it without asking permission. They are not in the phase of learning from the greats or gaining respect. They do not copy or ask for validation, do not queue at the door of the European club to see if the goalkeeper is Majete and lets them in. They are already inside. And with products that no longer have a “Chinese car” aroma, but “this makes a lot of sense.” With own design decisions, with functional technology, with well -chosen materials and a … Read more

You can no longer sell your chip for the most successful in China

by

The commitment reached Jensen Huang, the general director of Nvidia, and Donald Trump At the end of last week In the restaurant of the Mar-A-Lago Tourist Complex of Palm Beach (Florida) It was a mirage. Wet paper During the last weeks several filters anticipated that the Department of Commerce, which under Trump’s mandate is being led by Howard Lutnick, intended to prevent the chip for artificial intelligence (AI) NVIDIA H20 I continue to arrive in China. At the current situation for the company directed by Jensen Huang this GPU is very important. In fact, her engineers designed her to have a chip for the people who could deliver to her Chinese clients when US sanctions They prohibited Nvidia for sale in the country led by Xi Jinping of the GPU A800 and H800as well as graphics cards with chip GeForce RTX 4090. Previously the Department of Commerce had also radically restricted the sale in China of the GPUs A100 and H100the most advanced of Nvidia at that time. Nvidia’s success in China has the days counted The reception they have given to the GPU H20 The Chinese clients of Nvidia has been very good despite the fact that the capabilities of this chip are clearly lower than those of the other proposals for the this company. In fact, initially the Department of Commerce allowed its sale in China because this integrated circuit met the restrictions it had imposed. And despite its limitations its sales in China 50% quarter to quarter have grown Since he arrived in this market in mid -2024. The US Department of Commerce has imposed export restrictions on China from the GPU H20 Despite all this era of bonanza for Nvidia in China is about to finish. And finally the leaks have been fulfilled: the US Department of Commerce It has imposed restrictions to the export to China of the H20 GPU, and this in practice means that this chip presumably It will not reach Chinese clients in Nvidia. During the dinner I have mentioned in the first lines of this article Jensen Huang presumably committed to Donald Trump to invest more money in data centers for the US. In return, Nvidia could continue selling its H20 GPU in China. After all, this is the chip that currently supports its business in this Asian country. But This pact has faded. And the company led by Jensen Huang is already paying it. His shares have fallen 6% and Nvidia has announced that this prohibition will cause a hole in its accounts of 5.5 billion dollars due to the commitments linked to the H20 GPU that the reserves of this chip had already acquired that it will finally not be satisfied. Among the Chinese clients who have bought large amounts of this GPU, and who presumably planned to continue doing it, are Tencent, Alibaba or Bytedance.

China responds to the US with 125%tariffs. It no longer makes sense to upload them more

by
