The owner of a Tesla Model and set out to come to Everest with his electric car. And he had a great idea called gasoline

by

There is an obvious reason that continues to wear the sale of electric cars in Spain: the alleged lack of loaders. In Xataka We have already tried that it is not so much a lack of loaders as a evident invisibility of them and one lack of trust in your reliabilitywhich causes doubts that they have thought or might think of making the leap. On our trip From Berlin to Madrid aboard a Tesla Model 3 We verify that Europe is very nourished by chargers of all kinds, from rapids that allow recharging while you eat to the slow ones to use while you make night, passing through the ultra -graphs that on the service roads put the car in tune in a few minutes. But, as much as we want, we talk about Europe and not all places have the same facilities. You just have to look at the United States where recharge network It is much more scarce and unreliable than in our continent, which is delaying the adoption of technology. So, can we travel anywhere in the world with an electric car? Could we match the trip that this influencer is making for Carry your Fiat Marea to Japan from Spain? Could we, for example, go to Everest by electric car? Common sense tells us no. But it’s just that, common sense. A tesla, a generator and the roof of the world Common sense, beyond the manida phrase that it is the least common of the senses, is also fluctuating. What for some may seem an impossible mission, for others, simply, it is as easy as taking appropriate measures and adapting to each situation. That is why the owner of a Tesla Moder and did not see any problem in taking his car and putting Rumbo to Everest. If on the road I could find the electricity assortment, it was the least, it would manufacture it. As? Obviously, with an electric generator moved by gasoline. The story is told in Carnewschina where it is explained that the owner of the electric car created its own version of “extended autonomy.” To do this, he installed an 8 kW gasoline generator at the rear of the car. With him underway, he could fill the Tesla Model battery and a power similar to that of a domestic plug, specifically 3 kW. In the middle they point out that at that rate The Tesla recovered 19 kilometers Of autonomy every hour and that, full of the tank, the cargo of the car could be sustained for nine and a half hours. That is, at full capacity the generator could deliver about 180 kilometers of autonomy to the car during, for example, a plugged night. Only in this way has Lhatse County, Tibet region very close to Everest that is already 5,300 meters high. The adventure and its result can be seen in this video where the car owner tells his experience and shows how the system works. Although it is understood why this can be called Tesla Model and a “extended range” car or “extended autonomy”, we must bear in mind that it does not work as a vehicle that implements this technology to use. Simply use the electricity generator as a mobile plug that has to be fed by a fossil fuel. An extended rank electric car is one that is mostly used as an electric and takes advantage of gasoline in a very punctual way. This works, for example, a Mazda MX-30. In this case, it is the car itself that functions as an electricity generating station. The gasoline engine generates electricity that is sent to the battery and nourishes the electric motors that are the ones that move the car. When operating in a concrete regime of revolutions per minute, the gasoline engine always works in its most efficient range and, such as electric motors that move the wheels, although the combustion engine is in operation the touch of the car is still very similar to that of an electric. These types of cars are widely used in China because extended rank electric are considered New energy vehicles (NEV) and are classified at the same level as electric cars even though, in the background, it is plug -in hybrids and can emit CO2 and any other contaminating particle typical of a gasoline engine. In Spain, these cars also have zero dgt emissions sticker as electric since their autonomy is greater than 45 kilometers. But, in addition, they can receive the same aids as MOVES III PLAN that an electric car as long as they exceed 90 km of completely electric autonomy.

Claude Opus 4 launches and presents it as the best programming model in the world

by

After Google will display all its artillery in artificial intelligenceAnthropic did not want to be left behind. The company founded by Dario Amodei has moved tab strongly: has presented Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4two new models with which he aspires to leave his mark on the race for AI. The announcement star is Claude Opus 4, the most advanced model Anthropic has developed so far. And they do not walk with Rodeos: they assure that it is “the best programming model in the world. An ambitious statement that, as always, will have to be tested. But the first data places it very well positioned in front of its main rivals. In the benchmark Swe-Bench Verified, which evaluates real software engineering tasks, Opus 4 gets 72.5 % in standard conditions and reaches 79.4 % if the Parallel processing. It is a performance that leaves it above models such as GPT-4.1 (54.6 %), O3 (69.1 %) or the recent Gemini 2.5 Pro of Google (63.2 %). However, in other more demanding evidence in multimodal reasoning, such as GPQA Diamond or MMMU, focused on university level questions and complex scenarios that combine text and image, Opus 4 fails to overcome O3, which continues to lead in that field. A model with resistance and autonomy But beyond the numbers, what Anthropic wants to highlight is the resistance and autonomy of this model. Claude Opus 4 is capable of maintaining long work sessions and executing thousands of steps continuously. From the company they explain that this makes it an ideal basis for AI agents More sophisticated: systems that make decisions, complete tasks on their own and do not need constant human supervision. In parallel arrives Claude Sonnet 4, an evolution of the model that Anthropic launched in February. It is not intended to compete with Power Opus, but it offers a very balanced proposal between performance and efficiency. In coding it also makes an important leap with respect to its previous version: it goes from 62.3 % to 72.7 % in Swe-Bench Verified, and improves in reasoning tasks, instructions monitoring and general precision. Both models arrive with interesting news. For example, they can now alternate between reasoning and use of tools Within the same process, which allows more complete answers. They have also improved in reliability. According to Anthropic, they are 65 % less likely to take shortcuts or make serious mistakes than Sonnet 3.7. Claude Opus 4 and Sonnet 4 are already available in the API of Anthropic, at Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud Vertex AI. They are included in the Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans. Prices are kept in the line of the previous models: Opus 4 costs $ 15 per million input tokens and 75 per million departure tokens. Sonnet 4 is more affordable: 3 and 15 dollars respectively. The latter can also be used from free accounts. Images | Anthropic In Xataka | We have tried the new Google AI mode: it is a direct bullet to the blue links that worries and excites in equal parts

This model that Openai presents as an improvement against GPT-4O would not reach Chatgpt. But now it’s here

by

When OpenAI presented GPT-4.1 Last April he said that the model would be available only through the API. In other words, that your access would be limited to professional users who develop applications. But this has just changed. GPT-4.1 land in chatgpt. The artificial intelligence startup (AI) Hannounced that “By popular request”, GPT-4.1 will be available in its chatbot application. This alternative has begun its deployment among the users of the Chatgpt Plus, Pro and Team payment plans. Those who use the Entertainment and Edu alternatives will have access “in the coming weeks.” And what about Free users. As we have just seen, GPT-4.1, at least for the moment, it will be limited to those who take out the wallet. But Openai is deploying among all, including the free ones, to GPT-4.1 Mini, a more leading version (and less capable). There are more changes. The positions in the model selector are changing. The firm led by Sam Altman has decided to eliminate GPT-4o Mini. The natural replacement is GPT-4.1 mini that we have just spoken. More capable than GPT-4o. At least according to what OpenAI says, GPT-4.1 is more capable than GPT-4O. If we take into account this, this means that the company is opening a new flaggpt model. Stands out in: Ability to follow instructions. In the Benchmark Multichallenge in Scale, a test that evaluates how well a model follows instructions, GPT-4.1 reaches 38.3%, with an improvement of 10.5 points compared to GPT-4O. Long context. In Video-Mme, a test focused on the understanding of long and multimodal contexts, GPT-4.1 marks a new maximum: 72.0% in the “Long without subtitles” category, surpassing GPT-4O in 6.7 points. PRogramation. GPT-4.1 achieves a 54.6% score in Swe-Bench Verified, improving at 21.4 points to GPT-4O and in 26.6 points to GPT-4.5. An alternative to O3. In the scope of programming, Openai says that GPT.4.1 can become an alternative to O3, its most advanced reasoning model available at this time. This is interesting because GPT.4.1 is not a reasoning model per se, but OpenAi seeks to combine the capacities of its standard models with the reasoning models in the future.

Freepik has just launched an Open Source model with a groundbreaking characteristic: licensed images

by

The Spanish Startup Freepik is already one of the absolute referents in the segment of artificial intelligence, but its last launch is especially significant. It is a new model of its own generative called F lite which is a new blow to the table for several reasons, but especially for an especially striking. Licensed images. Freepik, in collaboration with Fal.AI, has presented F lite, a model of generative text in image that stands out especially for being trained “exclusively with high quality images, with legal support and copyright protected” thanks to an important detail. They come from the Freepik library. Inspired (partly) in Deepseek. In Xataka we have talked to Omar Pera (@ompemi), Product responsible in Freepik. He has explained to us how the Deepseek Chinese model served as inspiration by demonstrating that it was possible to create a small but very capable model with much less resources and data. F lite is trained with “only 80 million images, compared to more than one billion usual images” in models of the generative images of the competition. Open Source. As explained in the technical report that accompanies the launch, F Lite is also An Open Source model of 10 million parameters-diminuto if we compare it with the 1.76 trillion estimated GPT-4-which has been trained for two months in 64 GPUS NVIDIA H100. A sample of the result obtained with F lite via Fal.AI. The car does not resemble Renault 5, true, but at least at the level of photorealism the result is really decent. Small but solvent. As explained Iván de Prado (@ivanprado), one of the top people responsible for its development, F lite is a decent model to generate certain types of images despite its small size. It also has its limitations, and can show anatomical defects or not give good results in complex or text rendering. The model is available in two versions in Hugging Face (regular, Texture) and in Fal (regular, Texture). It is also possible Download the github and use it at home, for example via comfyui. Is just the beginning. The launch of this model raises the beginning of an especially striking project that could gradually make it an alternative that rival the most ambitious models, but always supported by that argument of being trained with licensed images and being Open Source. More options for users. The model is not part of the moment of the offer of models available on the Freepik web platform, yes, and does not compete directly with models such as FluxMystic or image 3. “The bet and strategy does not change,” Pear pointed out, and consists in “optimizing the user offer and offering the best technology to solve the problem” and the need of each user. Demands everywhere. We have been seeing how artificial intelligence companies make indiscriminate use of content protected by copyright to train their models. They usually do it without a license and without having permission to use those works, and that has caused numerous Copyright rape demands, especially in cases Like OpenAi. Freepik Enterprise. This announcement comes almost at the same time as its new business offer, called Freepik Enterprise. Omar Pera confirmed that the initial reception of F Lite has been remarkable since this new service. In this area it is precisely where using a model like this is especially interesting, because “companies are covered” when using a model trained with licensed images. A by adobe and other rivals. Pera also pointed us out in Freepik They do not compete With images, “we are going for professional use cases of marketing or design.” They are not compared to a Getty or a Shuttersock, and more “with the creative tools of Adobe, with Leonardo (part of Canva from a year ago) or with the professional services of Midjourney. “ Image | Freepik In Xataka | All the great AI have ignored the laws of Copyright. The amazing thing is that there is still no consequences

130 meters with batteries equivalent to 550 model and

by

The transport network electrification To reduce emissions as much as possible is one of the challenges that companies and countries are facing. He electric car It is what catches us more closely, but where we also see progress is in the electric plane and in him maritime transport sector. And, in this sense, Latin America has taken a giant step with its new 100% electric ferry: the ‘China Zorrilla’. So much that it is already the largest electric ferry on the planet. Enormous. The ferry is a good starting point to start the electrification of the sea. Among its advantages is the Reduction of direct emissionsbut also lower maintenance costs (in theory) and a significant reduction in Submarine noisebeneficial for life in that environment. According to estimates, electrifying the 50 -meter length ferris to cover 100 -kilometer routes would save 50% fossil fuel in this segment, but what the ‘China Zorrilla’ has done is, as we see in MotorpasionDemential. And it is because of its dimensions. It measures 130 meters long, 32 wide and has capacity for 2,100 passengers and 225 vehicles. The ship has just been thrown into the Hobart shipyard in Australia, where it has been built, and the idea is to communicate the Argentine cities of Buenos Aires and Colonia de Sacramento, in Uruguay. It is a journey of about 55 kilometers that will cover three times a day. To batteries. The electrification problem is the same, whatever the vehicle: batteries. The larger and more capacity need, the larger and more heavy the batteries will be. In the case of ‘China Zorrilla’, these batteries have about 5,000 modules with a weight of about 280 tons. It is an absolute barbarity and, to put this in context, its creators They affirmed which is equivalent to batteries of 850 electric cars. It is the largest battery installed on a boat and its total capacity is 40 MWh. Let’s put the battery of the Tesla Model and Long Range with its 78.4 kWh. They are 0.0784, and the rapid calculations is that the ‘China Zorrilla’ has the capacity of almost 550 model and long rage. It is crazy for a 55 -kilometer journey, but in the end it is the ‘price’ of moving such a monster. And the load? Another mocked. It is the big question that may arise. If, despite the advances in speed, loading an electric car already has a considerable amount of time, what happens if we have to load a 40 MWh battery? The answer is simple: High power electroles. Specifically, giant ‘plugs’ that will admit 15 MW charges. The idea is that these loaders are in both ports, being able to recharge during the eviction and shipping of passengers with 24 MWh capacity. In theorythe 20% to 80% recharge will take about forty minutes and it is estimated that the night load pulls renewable energy, especially in the Uruguayan port. Without rival. Due to the type of controlled journeys that make this type of ships, their electrification is a very interesting idea that is already being explored in other parts of the world. In Spain, we have the ‘Barbarian Cap‘, a ferry that joins Ibiza with Formentera and has a battery of just 1 MWh. Is owned by Balearia, a company that is already shaping A much more ambitious project: Unite rate and tangier. There will be two 100% electric ferries with a total capacity of up to 39 MWh that is also provided that are loaded in 40 minutes in the ports and that will have something very interesting to reduce times: arms in the ports that will replace batteries. It will also have diesel support engines in case things are twisted and capacity for 804 passengers and 225 cars. In this sense, the ‘China Zorilla’ seems to continue reigning in the limited segment of electric ferries. And, in case you are wondering, the name of the ship pays tribute to the Uruguayan actress Concepción Matilde Zorrilla.

The DGT has been pressing a five years against Waze or Google Maps. Your solution goes through copying the French model

by

“You don’t know who you warn.” With these words, the DGT warned of the danger of giving the alarm of a traffic control through our mobile phone. It is no accident that The article It will be published in November 2024. The article clarifies the entire phenomenon seen with the one known as “Galician Method”. Last year, a person was denounced for alert 15,000 drivers through messages in a WhatsApp group of Civil Guard controls on the road. The problem is that There is no rule in the circulation code that prevents it. In the last decade, drivers have been perfecting the notices. The DGT points out that in 2012 some applications were already alerted to radars or controls but that the first boom came in 2014 with SocialDrive and Waze. Users had, in real time, information about fixed radars (That the public DGT itself) but also of mobile phones and controls. The second boom came with the Coronavirus pandemic. With the increase in road controls, users multiplied and since then many have climbed into a car from which they no longer get off. Who aspires to skip a Civil Guard control has the tools for it in Google Maps, Waze and even WhatsApp. And that is a real problem if we talk about alcohol and drug controls but also if, for a reason for general security, a device has been mounted to stop the suspect of a crime. Trying to put containment barriers, the Citizen Security Law to try to stop those WhatsApp groups with thousands of users. It is something that the DGT itself recognizes that states that in article 36.23 it is expressly prohibited “the unauthorized use of personal or professional data or professionals of authorities or members of the security forces and bodies that may endanger personal security.” However, they recognize that it is not enough and has been pressed to carry out a modification in the Traffic Law. At the moment, all that there is a proposal for the proposition of the Law born in the Commission on Road Safety of the Congress of Deputies at the proposal of the PSOE. It requested that the text reflect the obligation to “sanction those who provide information that hinders or prevents the control work of breaches of circulation standards”. In France it already applies This new wording would serve to end current doubts. The closest thing to receive a sanction for notifying the Civil Guard control is found in article 100 of the Civil Guard GENERAL CIRCULATION REGULATIONwhere the following is exposed: The use of long -range or road light is prohibited as long as the vehicle is stopped or parked, as well as alternative employment, in the form of flashes of long -range or road light and light or crossing light, with purposes other than those provided in these regulations The problem, obviously, is that this analog acting has been disused. This has led to the DGT has press and emphasize in the last five years that their intention is to chase those who use these applications to notify the controls. In 2020, Pere Navarro, director of the DGT, already put the focus on applications during mobility week in A Coruña where he pointed out his will to “Prevent, hinder or limit” Applications like Waze. The referent can have it in France. There, the famous traffic application cannot show mobile radars to users. It is an anomaly in Europe, as they collect in the Gauling country media. They point out that there the decree No. 2012-3 of January 3, 2012, which modified its circulation code more than a decade prohibits “Possession, transport and use of radar detectors”. However, this application extends to mobile applications, something that does not happen in Spain. Here, The law was modified in 2022 To punish the single presence of a radar detector. Until then the use of radar inhibitors and detectors was punished. For three years, the single presence of these devices is also punished with Fines of 200 euros and three points of the driving card for detectors and six points and up to 6,000 euros in the case of inhibitors. What the DGT wants to get is that the notices in mobile applications are also punished and the first step would be the modification in the traffic law that would allow copying the French model. What applications like Waze do is alert “danger zones”. To skip the restriction, the application allows you to add this notice on road sections, never in a specific position. With this notice, the driver already knows that a mobile radar or traffic control will be found later but is not specified in any case to stick or where it is installed.

With O3 and O4-mini, chatgpt reason better than ever. But more important than the model is that we can ask you certain questions

by

I read Alberto Romero a few days ago in his great The Algorithmic Bridge counting Three stories who shared something disturbing: they were Three people saved by doing something as simple as asking chatgpt About his symptoms. They did not use Prompts sophisticated or advanced techniques. They only described pain, discomfort, a concern. And they lived to tell. The interesting thing in the conductive thread of these three stories is not that the AI ​​was right (although he did). Is that Natalia came up with asking Chatgpt for that tension in his jaw. It is that Cooper thought about sharing his dog’s analytics. And that Flavio, with an increasing pain, will value consulting a Chatbot In addition to a doctor. The protagonist of these three stories It is not chatgpt, but that previous momentthat moment that someone thinks “What if …?” We live obsessed with what the machines are taking us away. Employment, singularity, creativity. But along the way we are losing something almost equally valuable by our own foot: The ability to imagine unplanned uses, unlikely connectionsways of use that break the instruction manual. The gap is not only between those who dominate technology and those who are not between those who can reimagine it and those who use it following established patterns. Is Like when we buy a new oven. There are those who feel patiently to read the instruction manual memorizing each official function, and those who immediately begin to tighten buttons, turn dials and create combinations that perhaps or the manufacturer conceived. Both will end up cooking, but it is the seconds who will discover that putting the grill A medium power while turning the fan, an impossible finish is achieved to achieve the official recipes. True innovation has always emerged from those who consciously ignore theoretical limitations. The good thing is that, in the same way as Talent is very democratic, This capacity does not understand credentials. A programmer senior You can get stuck by writing code with Chatgpt while a teenager discovers that asking him to simulate difficult conversations before having them. And it turns out that it works as an emotional mirror that never appeared in any manual. The stories that Alberto collects have something more in common: they occur in the medical field, where knowledge has historically been power. Where the diagnosis flows from top to bottom. Where the informative hierarchy is so rigid that it has its own uniform. However, there are Nature, Cooper and Flavio, investing the order, leading to the expert a diagnosis that they could not have formulated but that the AI ​​could detect. It is not a matter of blind faith in technology (Everyone confirmed with professionals). It is something much more subversive: a silent rearrangement of who has access to what information and at what time. While we keep wondering if the machines are going to steal our imagination, the reality is much simpler: The decisive is not what AI takes us away, but what we think about doing with it. There is the true competitive advantage of the 21st century: in that ability to see possibilities where others only see tools with predefined instructions. Natallia, Cooper and Flavio did not save their lives for having access to superior technology, but for daring to think differently. In Xataka | O4-mini is much more than another model of AI.

Tesla had opted a good part of his year to a Tesla Model and below 40,000 euros. Right now is an illusion

by

The year 2025 has not started for Elon Musk’s company as expected. In fact, it has begun in all the ways that could not be expected if you are in charge of a car company. At the fall in the price of shares one has to add more or less continuous attacks to the company itself with boycots of all kinds (some violent and very dangerous) and a Decrease in really alarming sales. Although it is about to see to what extent sales have been weighed down by the hangover to modernize the production lines to get the new Tesla Model and Juniper (which also came out in its most expensive version) and it is foreseeable that they grow over time, the truth is that the thermometer In countries where more electric cars are sold He has jumped the alarms. In France and Germanythe sales of his Tesla Model and have been very poor. And that is a problem for the company since in both cases we talk about countries where activists have been more belligerents against Tesla and where Elon Musk’s political approach with the extreme right has been more criticized. Part of the strategy to refloat sales was to put on the market a small and cheaper tesla. It has all the meaning of the world since SUVs are still the best selling models and the company needs an alternative that moves below 40,000 euros, with competition squeezing strongly. This tesla model and will be called, according to The Wall Street JournalTesla Model Q. The newspaper assured in December 2024 that the company’s plans went to launch this model in the coming months. Of course, it would not be the $ 25,000 car that Elon Musk has promised, this option would be more than $ 37,000. However, Reuters It ensures that these plans have been delayed and that it will not be until 2026 when we see this model and on a small scale. Better for 2026 The news agency pointed out a few weeks ago that this Tesla Model and small would occur in the United States but that there were also plans to produce it in Europe and China, so it is expected that the assembly lines could be both products at the same time and, therefore, share a good part of the components. Then, in March, Reuters He pointed out that internal sources of Tesla estimated the cost savings of production of this new electric car at 20%. It is not known if that cost reduction would be associated, for example, to a smaller battery. What the agency’s journalists assure is that the new Tesla Model Q or Tesla Model and in more affordable format would be little affected by tariffs. They point out that Tesla has been promoting the internal supply of their pieces in the United States for two years and, therefore, it would have less components affected by the new commercial barriers applied by Donald Trump that tax with 25% the import of cars but also of the pieces arrived from outside although the car is manufactured on US soil. However, and although they expected to produce 250,000 vehicles in their plants in the United States, Tesla has delayed the plans to 2026 but it is not clear what are the reasons that have led to making this decision. Keep in mind that at the end of last year the information of The Wall Street Journal He already referred to an internal document of the company shared with Deutsch Bank, so The vehicle should be very advanced In its development. It is not the first time that the company delays plans related to its lowest cost cars. For years he has been talking (and promising) that we would see a tesla of $ 25,000 but Elon Musk rejected this route during the presentation of the Tesla Cybercab And, even, this possibility of “Absurd idea”. The company’s owner has prioritized autonomous driving, ensuring that this source of income will be key to Tesla in the coming years. However, the competition is tightening and already has cars like the KIA EV3 or the Renault Mégane E-Tech (among others), vehicles that would fight with that future Tesla Model q or Tesla Model and in miniature for price and size and that are already sold for less than 40,000 euros.

O4-mini is much more than another model of AI. It is the Tesla Model 3 of OpenAI

by

The last launch of OpenAI, the models O3 and O4-minihe says much more about his strategy than he seems to the naked eye. The greatness of this proposal-especially that of O4-mini-is not in Benchmarks nor in technical capacities, which also; but in the tactic that raises and that Remember a lot to which he made Tesla In a giant: First came Model sa luxury product that demonstrated what was possible, but accessible to few. 80,000 dollars. Then came Model 3surprisingly powerful but at a price that greatly expanded the market. 35,000 dollars, less than half than Model S but maintaining 80% of its key benefits. With O3 and O4-mini, OpenAi has executed a very similar movement for the world of AI. O4-mini costs just 1.1 dollars per million Tokens input and $ 4.4 per million departure. And offers a performance that rivals his older brother: 68.1% in Swe-Bench compared to 69.1% of O3which costs almost ten times more. This price-reference equation is no accident, but the aforementioned strategy that we have seen before. A “economic” product that democratizes premium capabilities and expands its potential market. O4-mini exceeds Claude 3.7 Sonnet (62.3% in Swe-Bench) costing much less. It is the best model in Aime 2024 and 2025 (elite mathematical contests) surpassing even major systems. Tesla analogy is reinforced when we see that O4-mini allows a user of Chatgpt plus ($ 20 per month) access capacities that previously required Pro subscriptions (200 per month) or Enterprise (thousands). And the master coup comes from integration. O4-mini is the first “mini” model capable of using all chatgpt tools: web navigation, run python code, analyze images and generate them. With a single affordable model, Openai is absorbing use cases for which several specialized suppliers had to be paid. Concrete examples: A startup that makes slate diagrams analysis for $ 50 per month, now competes against a system that does the same for $ 20 per month, and also solves mathematics, program and seeks information. Another that sells assisted programming tools for $ 30 per month faces an O4-mini that writes better code and also visualizes data. This explains Why Openai released O4-mini when Initially he had announced that would integrate this technology directly into GPT-5. The competitive pressure of Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Grok 3 He forced them to accelerate and have shown that they are willing to cannibalize their own premium products to maintain their dominant position. This reminds what Apple did with the iPod: it was not afraid to integrate it into the iPhone knowing that in a five years It would evaporate what generated 40% of its income. Advance or die. The key difference between O4-mini and alternatives such as Claude is very clear: while others offer larger models that consume more resources, OpenAi has achieved a compact model with sufficient performance for almost any practical task. In the same way as the Model 3 It did not need autonomy for 600 kilometers when 350 were enough for the majority, O4-mini does not need the last 5% precision when it already solves 95% of everyday problems. It is not just a technological strategy, but of scale economy: With each new user, the marginal cost decreases while the competitive advantage increases. And as Tesla, when the competition tries to react by copying its approach, Openai is already announcing its next movement. Of course, as is happening to Tesla, The Chinese threat In the medium term it is unpredictable. In Xataka | Openai’s hypothetical social network does not want to connect people.
