models point to worst El Niño in 140 years and one of the key reports is published on Thursday

by

All the meteorological agencies in the world are looking at the same building on the east coast of the United States. On Thursday, May 14, before markets open, in College Park, Maryland, a room full of oceanographers and meteorologists will discuss a four-page pdf. In that pdf it will be written the future of the planet. It sounds epic, but it’s more prosaic than it seems. It will not be written clearly, sharply, or with absolute certainty: but it will be. What’s in that PDF? NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center (CPC) publishes the second Thursday of each month your ENSO Diagnostic Discussion. It is the most important report from the global El Niño monitoring systems and, from what the models are saying, the probability of a “very strong” El Niño is going to exceed 25% (and growing). But if it’s monthly… why is this specific report important? Because the index the agency uses to monitor and predict ENSO has changed. Until this year, NOAA I used ONI: an index to measure the sea surface temperature anomaly, but which does not discount the average anomaly produced by climate change. What is expected is that the predictions under the new index (I’ll call it RONI) is significantly less than under normal conditions. If the magnitudes shoot up despite the correction, things will look worse. This report is important because it is the first that will capture the “acceleration” of El Niño at full capacity. What would this entail? Each new NOAA report translates into a cascade of decisions in agricultural, energy, fishing and fire policies. He last major El Niño (2023-24) coincided with 2023 would be the second warmest year on record and 2024 the warmest ever: a strong 2026-27 El Niño could push 2027 to another global record and the impacts are not well measured. It is true that between March and May the reliability of ENSO forecasts drops sharply (because the equatorial Pacific anomalies go through their transition phase); but, in the absence of the June report, this is the best clue we have. What can we expect? We already know that there is a 61% chance that El Niño will be with us between May and July 2026. A 25% chance that it is “very strong.” The important thing to keep in mind is what that means. 61% measures the probability that the equatorial Pacific crosses the threshold of what we understand as El Niño. But, unfortunately, it does not measure how much it will rain in Cádiz, nor what will happen to the crops in Misiones, nor how many hurricanes the Yucatán will see. It is worth remembering that, during the warm phase (that is, during El Niño), the absence of strong trade winds that cool the surface of the equatorial Pacific causes the temperature of that area of ​​the ocean to skyrocket. It is this, through different atmospheric teleconnectionswhich disrupts all the weather systems in the world. What we are not clear about is exactly how. The effects are varied and change depending on the region (“drier conditions than normal in certain parts of the world; while in others it causes more precipitation. Some countries have to deal with major droughts and others with torrential rains”, says AEMET); but when we talk about temperatures there is no doubt: El Niño is synonymous with heat. Everything else remains to be written. Image | Xataka In Xataka | “It is so extreme that it is difficult to believe”: El Niño forecasts depict an event of unprecedented intensity.

The PS5 has always been a PC at its core. Some models can now run Linux and games

by

The PlayStation 5 It has never been a conventional computer, but it has never been as far from looking like one as we usually imagine. Under its casing there is an x86 architecture, an AMD Zen 2 CPU and a RDNA 2 GPUingredients very familiar to anyone who closely follows the world of PC. The difference, of course, has always been in control: Sony decides what is executed, how it is executed and how far the hardware can go. That is why what we have seen now is so striking: a PS5 Phat (launch model) booting Linux and behaving, with important nuances, like a desktop machine. The change. Everything arises with the publication of ps5-linux, a project by Andy Nguyenbetter known as TheFlow. We are not talking about a simple demonstration, but about a tool that really works with an image of Ubuntu 24.04. According to the description of the project itself on GitHubps5-linux uses an already patched vulnerability in the hypervisor. The promise is powerful, but as we will see below, it does not work on all consoles and also has several limitations. Not just any PS5 is worth it. So far, everything sounds great, but this doesn’t mean we can take the console in the living room and happily turn it into a Linux PC. First, because we are talking about a process designed for profiles with experience. And second, because compatibility is very limited. The method currently only works on PS5 Phat with firmwares 3.xx and 4.xx, specifically 3.00, 3.10, 3.20, 3.21, 4.00, 4.02, 4.03, 4.50 and 4.51. Additionally, versions 3.xx do not have M.2 support, while 4.xx does. The process is also not similar to inserting an installation pendrive and following the usual steps on a PC. According to Tom’s Hardwareps5-linux needs a separate tool, the umtx2 exploit, to achieve initial code execution, and then send the loader payload to the console. In the flow in question there is a fake DNS server and an HTTPS host on a local computer, which redirect the query for the PS5 manual to activate the exploit. When everything goes well, the console goes into sleep mode, the LED turns solid orange, and when you press the power button, Linux starts. Once inside Linux. The console now behaves like an x86 desktop with plenty of muscle to experiment with. The system can take advantage of the eight CPU cores, 16 threads in total, at 3.5 GHz, and a GPU at 2.23 GHz. It also maintains video and audio output via HDMI, with support for 4K at 60 Hz, and allows the use of all its USB ports. To install and run Linux you need a USB drive of at least 64 GB. What changes the perception of the project the most is not just seeing Ubuntu starting up, but imagining what it can be used for. TheFlow talks about Steam games and emulators running very smoothly, relying on the power left available when running Linux on these PSs. In X we can see running on the improved version of ‘GTA V‘, which helps show the loader’s potential before publication. It’s not all plug and play: The project has very specific limits that should be made clear before imagining a PS5 converted into a perfect substitute for a PC. One disappointing fact is that ps5-linux works as a soft mod, not as a permanent installation, so you have to repeat the process every time you want to enter Linux. Nguyen advises activating the ventilation profile when using boost modes, since the console was not designed for this type of use. The result is one of those modifications that explains very well how far a console can go when someone manages to take part of its hardware out of the intended lane. A PS5 Phat with old firmware can become a surprisingly capable Linux PC, but always within a very specific context. A console that is also a computer. The PS5, like any console, has always had computer ingredients. Now, the inevitable comparison is in the future Valve’s Steam Machinealthough there we talk about another philosophy: a console-PC designed from the beginning around SteamOS, but with the possibility of installing any compatible operating system to our liking.

US companies continue to pursue larger and larger AI models. Those from China continue to demonstrate that it is not necessary

by

Until now, Alibaba had a great open model for programming. It is based on Qwen3.5-397B-A17B, but the problem is that it was gigantic with its 397 billion parameters and 807 GB of disk (and memory) size. The Chinese company has done something surprising and has announced these days the Qwen3.6-27B modelwhich in its quantized version weighs less than 17 GB. You would think that at that size he would be much worse than his older brother. But you would be wrong. It is proof that it is possible to give for much less. A dense model. Most large weight models open in 2026 use Mixture-of-Experts architecture (MoE): They have many parameters in total, but only activate a fraction of them when we use them. For example, the Qwen3.5-397B-A17B model precisely indicated that in its name: of the 397,000 million parameters, it only activated 17,000 million (hence the A17B) when using it. With Qwen3.6-27B we have what is called a dense model: the 27 billion parameters are activated in each inference. Although it is somewhat less efficient, it has clear practical advantages. For example, there is no need to configure an expert router, and quantization is more predictable and compact. The idea has worked, and the results prove it. The performance of this “small” AI model is even higher than a much larger previous version. Benchmarks don’t lie (too much). In SWE-bench Verifiedthe most popular benchmark for real programming tasks, Qwen3.6-27B achieves 77.2% score compared to 76.2% for the 397B model. In Terminal-Bench 2.0, which measures how well the model executes tasks in the command console, it achieved 59.3% compared to 2.5% for its rival. But in this test it achieves exactly the same score as Claude Opus 4.5, one of the best recent Anthropic models. That an “Open Source” model that can be easily used locally achieves something like this is unusual, but we must be cautious: the benchmarks are from Alibaba itself, and there is currently no independent verification, although who are wearing they seem be really satisfied with the. Even Alibaba is surprised. What is striking about this launch is that the company that launched it is promoting it above its most ambitious model until recently. Let them compare both versions themselves and recognize that the “small” is the most powerful It is significant. It’s like saying from the rooftops that the largest AI models have no competition, when they have just proven that this is not the case and that models like Qwen3.6-27B can be truly remarkable in behavior. 24 GB of VRAM is “enough”. Thanks to its small size, it is possible to use this model on relatively accessible machines. Thus, the 24 GB of video memory of the RTX 3090 makes these graphics cards a perfect alternative to install and use Qwen3.6-27B with excellent performance. Dense models do not do so well on MacBook or Mac mini with unified memory, and although logically not everyone has access to graphics cards with 24 GB of RAM, access to really capable local models continues to improve. The best essences, in small bottles. Alibaba is a steamroller of “small” AI models, and it demonstrated this in early March when launched several that ranged from 0.8B to 9B. Fortunately there are varied alternatives in that segment of “Small Language Models” (SLMs) and here we have reference examples like Gemma 4just released by Google. Microsoft with Phi-4 (which needs an update, like gpt-oss-20b/120b) or Mistral with Devstral 2 They are examples that Western companies are also making moves in this interesting field. But. According to benchmarks, Qwen3.6-27b is comparable in some benchmarks to Claude Opus 4.5, Anthropic’s most advanced model when it was launched in November 2025. That is surprising and confirms that open weight models from Chinese companies are, as Demis Hassabis saidbetween 6 and 12 months behind the most advanced models from Anthropic, OpenAI or Google. But to execute them a significant investment is still necessary, and although local AI models are very interesting in terms of privacy, if today one wants maximum speed and performance it still depends on commercial models in the cloud. In Xataka | Google will invest up to $40 billion in Anthropic because the new normal for AI is investing in your enemy

more than 10 models with their own technology and an eye on the premium range

by

TCL does not tiptoe to 2026. Already during the CES at the beginning of the year gave us clues of some of the things they were preparing, but it was not until now that we have begun to know more details about the next models that the firm has already ready. And in its catalog of televisions for 2026 we find more than a dozen models that cover from the access segment to the premium range, all based on its own technology with which it intends to gain ground. Through a press event that we were able to attend, the company presents itself as the fastest growing consumer electronics brand in Europe in recent years, and it wants to make 2026 the year in which it makes this achievement most visible. Below these lines we tell you which products they want to strengthen their strategy with. SQD Mini LED and RGB Mini LED, the big protagonists of TCL by 2026 TCL makes its own panels, giving it a lot of leeway on costs and specifications that few rivals can replicate. This advantage of vertical integration is what allows it to stand up to big brands like Samsung or LG. In the Mini LED segment they already have a long way to go, and this year they want to materialize all that experience in their products with two new technologies: SQD-MiniLED and RGB Mini LED. The spearhead: SQD-Mini LED in two versions The most ambitious model of the new batch is the X11L, direct successor to the X11K. It is the reference that TCL placed at the top of his hierarchy and arrives in sizes of 75, 85 and 98 inches. It uses what the brand calls SQD-Mini LED, a combination of its Mini LED backlight technology with extended colorimetry quantum dot panels and an improved self-color filter. On paper, the goal is to reduce light pollution between local dimming zones (the eternal Achilles’ heel of Mini LED versus OLED) and improve color purity. In addition, it has sound signed by Bang & Olufsen, a native 144 Hz refresh rate and compatibility with Dolby Atmos. Down the scale, the C8L inherits the C8K with the same 55, 65, 75 and 85 inches plus the addition of the 98-inch size. TCL aims for up to 6,000 nits of peak brightness (remember that this figure is always in a very small panel window), AiPQ processor for AI scaling and up to 4,032 local dimming zones. The C7L, for its part, further expands the size range (from 50 to 115 inches) and shares the SQD-Mini LED technological base with 2,176 local dimming zones, native 144 Hz and variable refresh rate (VRR). RGB Mini LED: a generation leap in color TCL’s other big technical bet for 2026 is what it calls RGB-Mini LED, a type of technology that other manufacturers have also tested (see Sonythat now collaborates with TCL, Hisenseor Samsung with its Micro RGB), and that TCL shows in two models: the RM9L and the RM7L. Unlike conventional Mini LED, where the backlight LEDs emit white light, This technology uses primary colored LEDs (red, green and blue) integrated directly into the panel. The result ends up leading to greater chromatic precision, also reducing color bleeding between adjacent areas. The RM9L comes in the most striking measurements in the catalog: 85, 98 and the monumental 115-inch screen. On the other hand, the RM7L covers 65, 75, 85 and 98 inches. It should also be noted, as usual, that all models work with Google TVand also all their high-end televisions offer a 144 Hz refresh rate. QD-Mini LED and the mid-range: the bulk of the volume The middle strip of the catalog, probably where TCL will move the largest number of units, is occupied by models with QD-Mini LED panels (Quantum Dot + Mini LED, without the RGB component). Here comes the C6K Pro (successor of the C6K), available from 50 to 98 inches with a central base support, and the P8L (evolution of the P8K), which starts at 55 inches but with a base at both ends of the television. Both work at 144 Hz and 4K UHD resolution. Entry range, affordable models for all audiences To complete the catalog, TCL adds several more affordable lines that operate at 60 Hz and with less complete panel technologies. The A400 and A400U incorporate conventional QLED technology in sizes from 55 to 98 inches, models for users who prioritize size over everything. The P7L (QLED) and the P6L (LCD-LED) are the options for those who prioritize price in the 43 to 85-inch segment. And in the most economical range, for those smaller living rooms or other rooms in the home, there is the S5L with Full HD resolution diagonally between 32 and 50 inches with a QLED panel and Android TV operating system, while the S4K is the only reference with HD resolution, only available in 32 inches. The lifestyle model: the NXTVISION A400 Pro Outside of the main list of conventional televisions, TCL also presents the A400 Pro NXTVISION, its bet on the most design-oriented display segment and home decoration. The concept is similar to that of frame televisions from other companies: it is placed against the wall or on a separate dedicated stand, it has a matte anti-reflective screen and, when it is not playing content, it can display works of art as if it were a painting. It is driven by a QD-Mini LED panel and has up to 448 local dimming zones. It is the only model in the catalog that escapes purely technical logic to find a decorative space in our living room. Selling only cheap TVs has long been over. TCL doesn’t want to be just the manufacturer that sells cheap TVs. In fact, for years it has proven to have a very good hand in its high-end panels. The premium segment continues to revolve around OLED panels, but the manufacturer continues to insist with its Mini LEDsinnovating year after … Read more

These are my 5 favorite models

Spring means the arrival of heat after winter, but also the appearance of allergies to pollen, grasses and many plants and trees. For this, having good sunglasses can be a before and after, especially if they are enveloping. But… what do you have to take into account when buying one of these glasses? These are the most important points: The design: It is necessary that the frame has a curved shape and not a straight one, since this way it will protect us from the front and the sides of our eyes. The function is to create a physical barrier that prevents the wind from entering through the holes in the glasses. Side protection: Although the curved frame plays a fundamental role, it is also especially interesting to have wide temples. In this way, we will have better protection on the sides. The distance: It is important to keep in mind that this type of wraparound glasses must fit very well to achieve a more airtight effect. As a recommendation, it is interesting that they stay tight to the cheekbones, but without the crystals touching the eyelashes. Polarized lenses: During allergy, one of the symptoms is sensitivity to light. The lenses themselves will protect us from this, but if they are also polarized, much better because they can prevent the eyes from becoming more irritated. UV protection: Some glasses also have a quality UV filter against ultraviolet radiation, a particularly interesting protection when spending a lot of time in the sun. Now, taking this into account, What glasses should I buy? There is a lot to choose from with very varied prices, so we have made a selection for different budgets. Radiant Hawkers by 29.80 euroswith UV protection against ultraviolet radiation. Polaroid 7886 by 33.36 eurosinexpensive glasses with thick temples and polarized lenses. Nautica N2239S by 59 euroswith double protection against ultraviolet radiation and polarized lenses. Nike WindTrack Heat by 89 eurosglasses with a more sporty design that have UV protection. Ray-Ban RB4335 by 137 eurosglasses with very wide temples and UV protection. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Radiant Hawkers If you want to go cheap, the Hawkers Radiance They are sunglasses that, for 29.80 euroshave a wrap-around format in the frame, since it presents a curvature. They have UV protection against ultraviolet radiation and are capable of absorbing, depending on the brand, between 82 and 92% of sunlight. Of course, they are not polarized and the lenses slightly cover the sides of the eyes, but not the temples. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Polaroid 7886 With a similar price, 33.36 euros In this case, we find the Polaroid 7886sunglasses that also have a curvature in the frame as well as wide temples to further protect the sides of the eyes. They are polarized. In addition, Amazon customers often highlight that they are quite comfortable thanks to their flexible design, which allows them to better adapt to each face shape. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Nautica N2239S El Corte Inglés also has the Nautica N2239S for a price of 59 euros. They are especially interesting glasses due to their design, since they have an enveloping curved format as well as thick temples. We must also highlight the double protection of the polarized lenses and their UV filters against ultraviolet radiation. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Nike WindTrack Heat On the other hand, if you prefer something more sporty, El Corte Inglés also has the Nike WindTrack Heatin this case for a price of 89 euros. They are glasses that protect above all thanks to their great curvature in the frame, and not so much because of the temples because they are somewhat thin. They also come with UV protection against ultraviolet radiation, although they are not polarized. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Ray-Ban RB4335 Ray-Ban has a very characteristic style in its glasses and the Ray-Ban RB4335 They are especially interesting for allergies. Because? Because of its format, which not only has an enveloping curvature, but also because of the wide temples that it includes. The lenses are not polarized, but they do have UV protection. Its price in this case is 137 euros. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Some of the links in this article are affiliated and may provide a benefit to Xataka.

Chinese AI models boasted of being good, pretty and cheap. There are only two of those three things

by

It is not as well known as its rivals, but Zhipu AI (z.ai) has become one of the most promising Chinese AI startups. It is responsible for the family of open GLM models that have always offered a solvent and, above all, very cheap alternative. That, unfortunately, is no longer so true, but we are witnessing a change in strategy both between it and its competitors in the Asian giant. Chinese AI models are no longer such a bargain. GLM-5.1 is better… Z.ai announced yesterday the launch of its shiny new AI model, GLM-5.1. I did it with my chest out because we are facing a promising evolution of this LLM (744B parameters, 40B assets with Mixture of Experts architecture) that certainly surpasses its predecessors but that in some metrics even seems to be above GPT-5.4, Claude Opus 4.6 or Gemini 3.1. Agentic tasks and those that require autonomy for long periods work better than ever, but if you want to benefit from these improvements, you have to check out: the price of the model is now at least 8% more expensive than previous versions. …but also more expensive. According to prices managed by OpenRouter, the well-known platform that serves as a “distributor” of multiple free and commercial models, the prices of the new Z.ai model have risen significantly. Thus, GLM-5.1 costs between 8 and 17% more than GLM-5 Turbo, also recently launched. It is the second time that the Chinese company has raised prices for its users in 2026, and that is a worrying sign. The excuse, of course, is the same as always. We are in high demand. When Z.ai launched GLM-5 at the beginning of February, it took the opportunity to raise the prices of its plans for programmers between 30 and 60%while the API rose between 67% and 100% (doubling). Its shares on the stock market perked up significantly after the launch and the price increase – logical, investors saw that income was probably going to increase thanks to these increases – but the company indicated that demand was very high and that its models had to reflect that circumstance. From the three B’s to just two. The Chinese open models had been demonstrating remarkable quality and a fantastic price/performance ratio for months. They were good, pretty and cheap, but Zhipu AI has just been the latest to end up raising prices. Most of its competitors have been doing it too: Moonshot AI (Kimi), MiniMax and StepFun did it already in 2025, but Alibaba, ByteDance, Tencent and Baidu have also adopted increasingly ambitious pricing strategies. as indicated on TrendForce. OpenClaw as a trigger. Much of the blame for this great demand lies with AI agents like OpenClaw, which has become viral but has a problem: it consumes tokens at an extraordinary rate. A conversation with ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini has a cost, but the use of tokens in “chat mode” is much lower than that carried out by AI agents, who do not stop “thinking” and analyzing different possibilities and chaining processes to resolve our requests. The Chinese models have become a good alternative if one wants to save because using Claude Opus 4.6 was very expensive —and now, prohibited—, but these models are slowly becoming high-end AI models. At least, for price. I already know how this story ends. What we are experiencing with AI models we already saw with smartphones. Chinese manufacturers broke the market with bargain phones that offered high-end features for mid-range or low-range prices, but then they evolved and over the years most manufacturers have ended up focusing on the super-high ranges and at most have launched “cheap” sub-brands. Xiaomi has done it with Redmi and POCO, for example, and now we are seeing something similar with Chinese AI startups, which gained popularity with good, pretty and cheap models, but are now beginning to transition to that new batch of capable but no longer so affordable models. First they catch you, then they squeeze you. What we are seeing with the Chinese AI models we were also seeing with the models of companies like OpenAI or Anthropic. Both they and their competitors release increasingly better but also increasingly more expensive models, and that means that those tokens that these companies sell us are becoming more and more precious: the quotas for the ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro plans, for example, seem to be running out. faster than beforeand the users they take time complaining about it. On Reddit They have a “megathread” dedicated precisely to that, but here we have bad news: this doesn’t look like it will go down, but rather more. In Xataka | Anthropic has shut down OpenClaw for a reason: it’s building the “walled garden” that Nintendo perfected
