Xiaomi has lost 800 million dollars in its first year selling electric cars. It is excellent news for your future

by

Nine months in the market have been enough to show that Lei Jun was not wrong when he decided to bet on electric cars. The company announced the Xiaomi Su7 in December 2023. In April 2024 the first deliveries arrived. In December I already touched with the fingers Strain its only electric car as one of the 10 new energy models (plug and electrical hybrids) in China. Now, the company has submitted results and has updated its upward forecasts. 2025 will be the first full year in which, at least, one of its electric cars is on the street. In 2023 they did not sell a single electric car. In 2025 they aspire to place in the market 350,000 units. With the data collected by Clean Technicait is very likely that the Xiaomi Su7 will be placed among the 10 best -selling cars of new energy in the Chinese market, despite competing with settled brands that offer much cheaper vehicles such as the Byd Seagull or the Wuling Hongguang Mini. The 2024 results have been a definitive support for the strategy. Results that take away the hypo Until now, Xiaomi had announced that I hoped to deliver 300,000 electric cars in 2025. However, the presentation of 2024 results has served to update those figures in another 50,000 additional units. In addition, of the Xiaomi Su7, the company is expected to launch the market Xiaomi Yu7an electric SUV that points directly to Tesla Model and as the great rival. It is no accident that Elon Musk’s are valuing the launch of a cut version of your SUV best -selling electric in the Asian country. But what has really been a support for the company has been Xiaomi Su7 Ultra. The most capable electric car sells dream benefits at a ridiculous price. On paper, it improves the performance of a Porsche Taycan but is sold to a third of its price. The announcement, as expected, has ended up unleashing madness. Lei Jun confirmed That in three days they have sold all the production they had scheduled for 2025, confirming more than 10,000 sales. In those three days there were a total of 19,000 reservations, so the demand of the car almost doubled the annual production in 72 hours. Xiaomi first year data selling electric cars All this has had a brutal impact on your accounts: Xiaomi has already delivered more than 200,000 cars. The net profit of the company has increased by 41% (3,760 million dollars) compared to 2023. Total sales of the company have grown by 35%. Their cars already suppose 10% of the company’s income. Between 2021 and 2025 it has spent 3.3 billion dollars on the development of the electric vehicle and its entire ecosystem. He plans to continue spending another 4.2 billion dollars in investigation in 2025. They lost around 800 million dollars in their car division. That loss of 800 million of dollars should not be a big problem for the company. Keep in mind that only in 2025 will almost double the cars that it has put in the market so far. In addition, the performance of the Xiaomi Su7 Ultra and the arrival of the Xiaomi Yu7 should help them make the investments already made. And not just that. From Fortune They emphasize that the company values ​​its performance in the automobile market because the company helps to comply with its brand image and raise it. Competing from you to you with Porsche and Tesla gives the company a value that until now did not. In addition, from Xiaomi they already assure that In 2027 They hope to export their first cars outside their borders, which should give a new push to its portfolio and continue to press so that the electric car becomes a fundamental pillar in the company’s strategy. If it is not anymore. Photo | Lei Jun in X In Xataka | The Xiaomi Su7 also expires in autonomy: the first tests under real conditions place him above Tesla or Byd

What news has and how to update

by

Let’s tell you What are the novelties of the Android Auto 14 betawith which the operating system premieres a new figure. At the moment it has arrived in Beta version, so it is still stable or advisable to install. Remember that it is the operating system that you install on the mobile but you do not use it there, but you use it on the console of the car when you connect it to your device. Although a new round number is released with it, in this new version of Android Auto There are also no external novelties That you will notice when installing. There are no changes in the interface, although small indications of the promises of what is to come. News of Android Auto 13.8 Beta This new version, as usual, It has no external news. You will not find any new option or function. Nothing changes on the outside with respect to the previous one, and there have not been some news that is being prepared as Gemini’s integration. The few novelties you are going to find are Improvements in Reading and Visualization of Notifications of messaging applications. Some errors that have been recently located, such as failures in audio reproduction, are also corrected. But otherwise, everything that changes is the internal code, where you can see that it continues to work on the arrival of Gemini, although without date for its final implementation. And why is this so slow? Because The news of Android Auto van insideand being a system to use in the car Any error in the app can be fatal. That is why in the Android Auto updates They cannot simply launch a new function and then improve it, because each failure can cost lives. How to update Android Auto Beta Being a beta phase version, you will still have to Wait a few days until you get to your final versionsince betas are closed, although In this link You can try luck in case there is any hole in the betas program, something that does not usually happen. The other method to test beta is download and install your APK fileavailable in Android Auto in Apkmirror. On this website you will have to choose between the ARM and ARM64 architectures, although if your mobile is currently almost certain that it is the ARM64. Once the file is downloaded, you have to Install the APK on your Android manually and restart.

If the question is when the rain is going to end, Aemet has bad news. Especially for Andalusia

by

It has been raining in Andalusia since February 28. That is to say, As they said from Storm Málagathat is “15 consecutive days registering precipitation at some point.” But the thing does not end there, because it looks like this streak “could be extended for at least 8 more days.” What is happening in Andalusia? What is happening in Spain this March? The great Atlantic game. In recent days, Aemet Special fact emphasis In what we have been repeating for days: that a “anticyclone, displaced to northern Europe and another to the south of the Azores, (created) a wide corridor that allows the entrance of Atlantic storms from west to this.” On the one hand, the anticyclone to the north facilitates the circulation of these storms to low latitudes; On the other, the South Anticyclone facilitates the transport of humid and warm air from the Caribbean. Actually, it is nothing mysterious. In fact, it is A phenomenon relatively common that usually gives us great joys. What is happening now is that the pieces have conceded perfectly: the storms are powerful, they are well directed and the hall is lasting a more than considerable time. So much time that many farmers have already activated panic protocols. As we said a few days ago, “too much water suddenly creates problems.” The best example is Huelva: Strawberry crops can begin to rot (or infect with fungi) in full campaign. Yes, they are small problems if we compare them with the years of drought that we have been dragging, but They are problems after all. Problems that point out that, as usual, We do not have the necessary infrastructure nor well thought out plans. And what can we expect in the next few days? On paper and although it will continue raining in some areas of the country, the time time will give us a small truce. However, As Marta Almarcha points outthe latest updates suggest that new storms will arrive. The same Monday, without going any further, a new one will enter the southwest. And so again and again until at least next Friday (which is when). What we know from Monday. I would not want to close the subject without commenting what we know about the Borrasca on Monday; of Laurencethe twelfth storm of high impact of the season. Above all, because (in the Atlantic aspect) the rains can become very intense. In points of Huelva, Cádiz and the central system more than 100 l/m² can be collected in 24 hours. Again. We also have to keep in mind that all this water must be added a problem: the thaw. The subsidiary fronts of Konrad have left (or leave) enough snow in low levels. The rain will help melt that snow and that will be a “more problem” In the river flow.

The intense rains of March have filled the reservoirs of Spain with water. Good news for the Light’s Invoice

by

In recent weeks, in Spain it has rained so much that the swamps of the peninsular center are so full that they will have to unwind. A news that will directly influence the electricity bill, but for good. With which we never count. When we talk about generation and renewable capacity, the two sources that come to mind are usually solar and wind. However, there are more renewables that provide energy to the electrical system such as hydroelectric plants. This year, in addition, the rains have arrived as a gift because wind energy has failed in its contribution, which has made the hydroelectric take more prominence. How will it affect our light bill? In this situation of incessant rainfall throughout the Spanish territory, which also will lengthen throughout the month of Marchhydroelectric plants have already generated more than 9,000 GWh, which represents a 18.4% of energy mix. In addition, the generation and storage capacity of hydroelectric plants He has reached The 5,599 MW, which represents 20.65% of the total system structure. This contribution is very important to see in the coming months a decrease in light prices. The rain, an ally. This phenomenon will help lengthen the low price period, which is important for homes and companies that fear the increase in rates. Compared to the previous years, and taking into account that this year wind energy He has been failing In their contribution, the rains have become great allies. It can warm up. If we talk about hydroelectric plants, we have to talk about their storage of energy: swamps. Currently, reservoirs in Spain are in Very good situation thanks to the stormwith a generation capacity of 60.90%. In other words, reservoirs have A large amount of energy storedaccording to Miteco data we would be talking about a Total capacity of more than 17,000 MW. To see it with data, the reservoirs have increased their volume by 296 HM³ (1.7% more). In the case of the Alcántara reservoir, One of the great batteries of Tajohas accumulated 257 hm³ of water in a week, which is equivalent to 454 GWh of electricity. Conflict of interest. Although there is an increase in hydroelectric generation due to rains, there is a problem with the Reservoir management. Hydroelectric plants have an economic interest in maximizing their production, which can lead them to make decisions about water unworthy. These cases have even occurred when water reserves should have been used for another use, such as Agricultural irrigation. It will remain to see how companies They store and release water. Forecasts In these days of intense rain and with the arrival of spring we will have to add the thaw of the mountains, so the reservoirs are expected to continue filling. This situation will ensure an even greater hydroelectric production capacity in the coming weeks, prolonging the low price phase. Hopefully enough to be extended, while in the European Commission they solve the issue of Down 5% to VAT In the light invoice.

Google hoped that the new US government would save him from “chopping” in several companies. Bad news

by

It doesn’t matter when you read this, it is almost certain that in the last hours you have used some Google service. Maybe you have sent an email in Gmail, received a message on your Android mobile, sailed with Chrome or made a google search. The company dominates so many aspects of digital life that is difficult to escape its ecosystem. But with that power the problems also come: antitrust authorities have been pressing years To detach from some divisions, and a possible separation is getting closer. DOJ VS. Google. The pulse between Google and the US authorities is not new. In October 2020, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and eleven state prosecutors They filed a lawsuit accusing Mountain View company to monopolize internet searches. After years of litigation, in August last year, federal judge Amit P. Mehta failed against him, concluding that the technological giant had maintained his domain in the searches market by imposing entry barriers that hindered competition. One of its main strategies has been to pay mobile manufacturers such as Apple to ensure be the default search engine on its devices. A bold measure on the table. Throughout history, the authorities have intervened to stop the domain of large companies, although the most common strategy is usually imposing economic sanctions. Forcing part of the business, on the other hand, is a drastic and rare measure. In the case of Google, this option went to the forefront the same day the failure against it was confirmed, although informally. However, the judge had not yet determined the corrective measures, which will be announced throughout 2025. Even so, the possibility of a split becomes increasingly strength. The Department of Justice presses to fragment Google. Although, as we say, the judge has not explicitly supported Google’s fragmentation, the DOJ, which represents the US government, has insisted on that option as part of the corrective measures. He has argued that the only way to stop his monopolistic domain in searches is to force the company to get rid of Chrome and, potentially, of Android. The striking thing is that the first attempt occurred under the administration of Joe Biden, But the second has arrivedagainst any forecast, with Donald Trump in the White House. “Thanks to its colossal size and its power without restrictions, Google has taken consumers and companies an essential promise that is owed to them: the right to choose between different services. Its illegal practices have created an economic giant that dominates the market to the point of guaranteeing that, whatever happens, it always wins, ”said the DOJ in his last presentation asking for the disinversion of the company in key areas. “Google’s illegal behavior has created an economic giant that wreaks havoc on the market to make sure what happens, Google always wins. American consumers and companies suffer from Google’s behavior, ”he added. An uncertain panorama. The presentation has been signed by Omeed A. Assefi, who currently leads the antimonopoly division interimly while the Senate evaluates the confirmation of Gail Slater, the one chosen by Trump to assume the position. ASSEFI is no stranger to the former president: He was part of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice during his first term. Slater, meanwhile, has indicated that he hopes to apply Regulations with surgical precisionwhile Trump has not hesitated to accuse the great technology of acting without control, to quell the competition and take advantage of their market domain to restrict rights. With this panorama, it continues in the air if its appointment will mark a change of strategy or if, on the contrary, the pressure on the technological sector will continue to increase. Wasn’t Trump hope? Before even being elected president, several technological leaders went to him in search of solutions. Tim Cook, from Apple, for example, called him to complain of the regulatory approach of the European Union, to which Trump responded with a promise: he would not allow them to take advantage of US companies. SUCTAR PICHAI, from Google, shared a meal with himalthough the details of that conversation are still a mystery. The company itself also donated a million dollars at the bottom of his inauguration. Now, with a judicial ruling that could force her to divide, Google has already announced that she will appeal the decision to avoid the dreaded chopstick. Effects throughout the ecosystem. Chop Google would not only affect the company itself, but shaking the entire digital ecosystem. Chrome and Android are not profitable business for themselves, they exist to channel users to their search engine, the true gold mine of the company. Separating them would completely change the rules of the game, affecting online advertising, agreements with manufacturers and software we use on our devices. But that’s not all: if the authorities are seriously with Google, the rest of the giants such as Apple, Amazon or Meta could be the following in the sight.

The good news is that Aemet already knows when the Jana Borrasca will leave. The bad is that 10 more days of rain await us

by

As of today, Monday, the BORRASCA JANA It will lose strength. But that does not mean that Aemet Go withdraw your notices by rains in half a country. And it is that the high -impact formation will continue with us generating instability, cloudy skies and generalized rainfall. Although, in reality, this seems only the beginning. Rain, rain and more rain. Although the eastern facade of the peninsula continues with His particular viacrucis (Especially in Alicante), the screws seem to have changed in the rest of the country: the largest accumulated will be in the south, both in the Atlantic and Eastern Andalusia aspect. Also in the central system. On the contrary, where the rains are less likely it is in the Cantabrian and the Northeast. In the Canary Islands there will be cloudy skies and scattered showers. But this will have an end … right? Of course he will have it, the problem is that we do not know when it will be. Jana is going to weaken And that, perhaps, we give us a little respite. But, as Aemet points out, “the rain will continue during the week of March 10 to 16”. After the borrasca jana“new fronts associated with Atlantic storms will sweep our country, with rainfall in large areas.” Again, the most abundant seems to be in the environment of the central and west system of Andalusia. How is this possible? A few days ago we counted that It was being established A huge blocking anticyclone between Greenland and Scandinavia. That was very good news because I was going to force the Atlantic storms to turn south. To this has been added something else: that the temperature of the surface water of the ocean is above the average and, thanks to the joint work between the blocking anticyclone and that of the Azores, an atmospheric river has been articulated that insuffes us with moisture from the Caribbean. The result is 10 days of generalized rains. That is to say, An unusually wet March. Is something of Holy Week know? This year, Holy Week falls between April 13 and 21. That is, there is a lot of time left. However, Aemet has published A climatological analysis. Unlike the predictions, what this type of analysis is investigated is the “standard time” for those days taking into account the historic. For example, According to the agency“In most of the southern peninsular half the average temperatures vary between 13 and 17 ºC” while “in the northern half we find lower values, with temperatures near the 9 ° C on the plateau and close to the 0 ºC in the summits.” Aemet The problem is that, as we can see in the superior graph, these “spring dates are characterized by their great climatic variability.” In recent years, temperatures have been high and, a priori, it is what we should expect. But there we have the year 2012 to show us that the situation can turn around when we least expect them.

In a corner of Andalusia the reservoirs are at 94% of their capacity. It seems excellent news, but it is not so much

by

Until a few months ago, drought was a problem that affected almost the entire country, even to the greatest northern areas that saw an important reduction in rainfall and even the introduction of temporary water savings measures. Now the situation has changed, although the threat is still in force in some areas of the country, especially along the Mediterranean coast. Odiel, red and stones, the exception. However, if we look at one of the maps that show us the Situation of Basin Reservoirs Hydrographic, perhaps otherwise what caught our attention. Surrounded by the great hydrographic basins of Guadiana and Guadalquivir, the Odiel basin, red and stones seems to show us a humid anomaly in the south of the Peninsula. The swamps of the basin are, according to the Last data availableat 94.3% of its capacity. This makes it the second largest hydrographic basin, behind the Internal Basins of the Basque Country (95.2%) and ahead of basins such as Galicia coast (87.6%) and the Eastern Cantabrian (83.6%). A figure that contrasts in a striking way with the state of the reservoirs in the hydrographic basins of its surroundings: 48.4% in the Pantans of the Guadiana, 40.5% in those of the Guadalquivir, and 30.5% in Guadalete-Barbate. What happens in this little basin for? Statistical issue? The first thing we can consider is statistics. The Hydrographic Basin of Los Ríos Odiel, Tinto and Piedras is a small basin, both in extension and capacity: the swamps of this Huelva basin can store a maximum of 229 cubic hectometers (HM³). Surrounded by greater extension demarcations, such as those of the Guadiana and the Guadalquivir, the most similar basin in extension in the south would be that of the Guadalete-Barbate. However, the Cadiz basin has A capacity of 1,651 hm³. This fact could justify the anomaly due to pure statistics: less capacity would imply greater ease for filling and emptying, more variability and with it more likely that at some time of time extreme values ​​are achieved. The problem is that the reservoirs of this area have been maintained rather persistent as the most full of the south. Rainfall. One of the reasons why the Odiel, Tinto and Piedras Rivers Basin attracts attention is due to the general contrast with the southern basins of the Peninsula, which in turn is associated with the fact that the South receives less rainfall than the north. Although that is true if we compare the north third with the rest of the country, the truth is that the image It is more complexand Andalusia is a good example of this. In Andalusia it exists A marked difference in rainfall between The Eastern Zone and the rest of the Autonomous Community, especially in the West. The province of Huelva is usually among those that receive the most water, being the north of the province one of the regions that record the most rainfall. To that we must add that 2024 was A slightly more wet year than the average in almost the entire province of Huelva. The beginning of 2025 has exacerbated this trend, with almost the entire province receiving more than double water than average During the month of January. The “dead” reservoir. The reservoirs of the Odiel basin, red and stones receive a lot of water, yes, but also others in Western Andalusia. To explain the phenomenon of this basin, perhaps we also have to attend to emptying. And here we find another determining factor: the reservoirs of this basin do not empty the same ease. The reason is pollution. This basin has a peculiarity, that of reservoirs useless for the contamination of its waters. To illustrate it, the El Sancho reservoir, The “Dead Reservoir” of the Odiel Basin. The waters of this reservoir are extremely acidic, with a pH value close to 3.6, to which high concentrations of toxic metals must be added, as explained In an article for The conversation Manuel Olías and José Miguel Nieto, both experts from the University of Huelva. The reservoir is in a situation of Perennial filling at 82.76%contributing 48 hm³ of waters to the accounts of the reservoirs of a basin that add up to a capacity, remember, of 216 hm³. The problem Nor is it exclusive of the El Sancho reservoir. Complementary explanations. None of the three explanations (size, rainfall and pollution) explains in itself the state of the reservoirs in this basin, but as a whole they can explain the anomaly of this basin and the associated problem.

China has discovered a source of energy so massive that potentially lasts 60,000 years. The bad news: is Torio

by

China sits on a virtually unlimited energy reserve. Only the Bayan Obo mine, in the Interior Mongolia region, could contain about 1 million tons of Torio, sufficient to meet the country’s energy needs for 60,000 years. In interior Mongolia. While the world, with China at the head, looks for alternatives to fossil fuels to complement the intermittent supply of renewables, the answer could be resting under our feet. More specifically, under the ground of Interior Mongolia, the Autonomous Region of China that limits the north with Mongolia. According to South China Morning Posta newly declassified 2020 study has revealed that Bayan Obo’s site could contain enough Torio to supply all the energy needs of China for millennia. Virtually unlimited. Only five years of mining waste in the largest field of rare earths in Interior Mongolia contain both Torio and the demand for US homes for the next thousand years, according to the study of China Geological Review magazine that CMP quotes. If it is exploited to the fullest, Bayan Obo’s mining complex could produce 1 million tons of thorium. We would be talking about enough production to supply China for 60,000 years, the article suggests. Context. The thorium is a radioactive element that is estimated between three and four times more abundant than uranium in the earth’s crust. Until recently, the official figures placed the Chinese reserves around 100,000-300,000 tons, in themselves of the largest in the world. With a potential of 1 million tons, Bayan Obo would go from being the largest rare land mine on a virtually unlimited Torio source. Some geologists described the finding as a change of play that would give China the worldwide control of the production of the material. Not so fast. In most cases, the thorium is obtained as a byproduct in rare earth processing (specifically, monacite) or uranium mining and phosphates. China is already the main producer of rare earths, and therefore manages large amounts of minerals containing Torio. Why don’t you exploit it commercially on a large scale? Because the thorium is a radioactive residue of delicate management. Its extraction, either by acid or alkaline digestion of Monacita, or as a recovery of mining tails, complicates waste management with the use of alkaline acids or metals that generate toxic and radioactive wastewater. Perspectives These challenges are not insurmountable, but require a regulatory framework and an important investment for the thorium to be competitive in front of Uranium in the Obtaining safe nuclear energy. And especially in front of renewable sources, which have been cheaper thanks to the exponential growth of the Chinese supply chain. However, the thorium can end up being key to reducing fossil fuel dependence (after all, renewables need batteries to offer continuous supply), and China already has Torio reactor testslike the TMSR-LF1 of 2 MW and its future scaled 10 MW version that could be ready in 2030. If the results are positive, China could end up making the jump to the first 100 MW Torio nuclear power plants.

Good news for China, not so much for the western technology industry

by

The Democratic Republic of Congo (RDC) has established a measure that will affect cobalt exports. No more cobalt? The market regulation and control authority of strategic mineral substances (Arecoms) has announced that cobalt exports will be detained for at least four months. According to He explained Its president, Patrick Luabya, the decision seeks to control the supply of cobalt in an international market that is facing an overproduction of metal. The importance of cobalt. There is a common metal that both electric vehicles and mobile devices and other technologies share: cobalt. In this century, I know has promoted its demand. However, the production of cobalt in the RDC, which represents around 70% of the world supply, has fallen together with the lithium. This has caused other cobalt producers, such as Russia and Australia, to win more prominence. The reason for the oversupply has been the increase in production by From the Chinese company CMOCsince he has doubled his extraction in two large mines in the country. This situation has had an impact on supply and demand, causing a price drop. In fact, according to Fastmarkets data, cobalt reference prices They have dropped out of 10 dollars per pounda level that had not been seen in more than 20 years. The current impact on the global market. Despite this fall, the markets have entered into tension with the measure taken by RDC. But they have been able to breathe calm because the suspension of exports have not meant an immediate change in the price of cobalt. However, market experts consider that, in the short term, this action could generate a market stiffnesssince cobalt stocks will accumulate in the RDC instead of going to Chinese deposits, as is often the case. China. Although the suspension of exports has not yet affected prices, this can benefit the Asian country. Chinese companies, which They already control A significant part of the offer and cobalt production may be strengthened from this crisis. In fact, China It has access to other cobalt sources Like Australia, Russia and Indonesia. Particularly the latter has great cobalt reservations and has experienced significant growth in its production. In addition, the Congo decision has reinforced China’s domain, while the West faces greater difficulties in ensuring essential materials for technological and energy sectors. In this way, the Asian country has taken a dominance position in front “The war of tariffs” against Donald Trump. It should be added that the latter You will need many materials That has China. The western technology industry. The measure has directly affected the technological sector of Europe and the United States, since they depend on the cobalt to make batteries of electric vehicles and electronic devices. However, the Democratic Republic of the Congo seeks to redefine its role in the global market And he has asked Europe and the United States for help through an agreement. In this approach, the African country has established an agreement by which they offer strategic minerals in exchange for support for the stability and development of the country. This proposition starts from the RDC is facing internal tensions. In particular, the east of the Congo is being the scene of armed conflictssome with alleged relationship with Rwandawhich has intensified the violence in rubber and bukavu, both border cities with Rwanda are known for their mines rich in different elements. With this proposal, the RDC expects to attract Western investment and reduce its dependence on China in the mining sector. It remains to be seen if the United States and Europe will accept the agreement, which would allow them to ensure more stable access to these strategic resources. Copper. It should be noted that the cobalt is mainly extracted as an byproduct of copper in the Congo. The suspension of cobalt exports It will not affect Production or copper exports, another key mineral that Congo also produces in large quantities. This means that, although the export of cobalt is limited, copper exports will follow its normal course, without important changes. The suspension of exports will continue for three more months and will be revalued. During this period we will have to be attentive to future actions of the West and as China will redraw the energy map.

What is, news, differences, and how to access the new artificial intelligence model of ChatgPT

by

Let’s explain What is and what news brings GPT 4.5the new artificial intelligence model launched by OpenAI for Chatgpt. Two years after a GPT 3.5 that revolutionized the industry and the technological world, this transition model between GPT-4O and GPT-5 arrives. We are going to start this article explaining what GPT-4.5 is, in case you still don’t know what this type of technology is. Then, we will tell you the novelties that it brings and how it differs with ortho models. And then, we will tell you how you can access him and those who can do it. What is GPT-4.5 GPT-4.5 is the artificial intelligence model of GPT-4 successor. GPT models are the artificial intelligence engine under chatgpt, The technology that makes it work. Over time new versions are coming out, and each of them have improvements that then apply to Chatgpt. Therefore, you don’t change chatgpt, but you can choose between the different engines that make it work. Of course, some are free and others are paid, and some work in one way and others from another. In the case of GPT-4.5, It will be the last model without a chain of thought. Some alternatives such as GPT-4O They are able to reflect on your question and how to face the answer before answering. However, this new version does not, so it looks more like GPT-4 than to other later models. GPT-4.5 is The largest and most advanced language model Posted by Openai to date. Not only is it more natural, but it has A much higher knowledge base with which to be able to face more complex challenges in scientific disciplines. It also improves its ability to solve logical problems. But one thing you have to know is that we have a version of GPT-4 freefor now GPT-4.5 is going to be paidand only subscribers can use it. The logical thing would be to think that they later take out a “mini” version somewhat more limited to use free of charge, but for now there is no date for it. How is GPT-4.5 As we have advanced a little higher, GPT-4.5 continues to advance in the resolution of tasks, and thanks to having a greater knowledge base improves the responses of their predecessors in logical problems, and is able to answer better questions in scientific disciplines. In general, The less hallucin modeland it is more truthful in your answers, a logical improvement for each new version that is coming out.
