There are those who use chatgpt to create a vacation plan. Swedish prime minister uses it to govern

by

Ulf Kristersson, Prime Minister of Sweden and leader of the country’s conservative coalition, He has publicly recognized that consults artificial intelligence tools such as Chatgpt and Mishwner (Mistral European chatbot) to obtain “second opinions” in its government decisions. A statement that has unleashed a political and academic storm about the risks of using AI in such critical sectors as public and citizen management. In the focus. In An interview With the Dagens Industri Economic newspaper, Kristersson not only admitted their personal use of these tools, but also revealed that their collaborators also employ them in their daily work. “I use it quite often, even if it is to obtain a second opinion” said the prime minister. Apparently, Kristersson claims to use the tools to ask things like “What have others done? Or should we think just the opposite?”, He explained about the questions he asked. A devastating reaction. The Actonbladet newspaper accused directly to Kristersson having “fallen into the psychosis of the AI of the oligarchs.” Meanwhile, some experts have shown concern about security and democratic implications. Simone Fischer-Hübner, researcher and computer expert at the University of Karlstad, warned about the dangers of introducing sensitive information in Chatgpt: “You have to be very careful.” The warning makes sense, since although the company has security and privacy measures, any conversation we have with the chatbot ends on OpenAi servers. Therefore, it is not a very safe approach, especially if we talk about such a critical use as in the political dome. Beyond security. Virginia Dignum, professor of artificial intelligence responsible at the University of Umeå, assures that AI cannot offer significant opinions about political ideas, since it simply reflects the biases of those who developed it. “The more it depends on AI for simple things, the greater the risk of excess confidence in the system. It is a slippery slope,” he warned. And he finished with a phrase that has turned the world around in networks and media: “We do not vote for Chatgpt.” A defense that does not convince. Kristerson spokesman Tom Samuelsson tried to minimize controversy ensuring that the prime minister does not handle sensitive information through these platforms and that he uses them “more as a general reference.” However, Jakob Ohlsson, an expert in AI, Point out that even seemingly harmless information can reveal patterns of government strategic thinking to technology companies in charge of this type of systems. It is these types of examples that show us The great adoption that have had these types of systems, regardless of the sector in which they work.

China already thinks about strategies to neutralize Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites. Your plan: submarines and powerful lasers

by

Chinese scientists have developed strategies to neutralize the Starlink Satellite Network of Elon Musk, which Beijing considers a military threat. According to the medium The Independentamong the proposed measures are furtive submarines equipped with spatial lasers, attack satellites with ionic propellants and sabotage of the supply chain. An analysis of 64 academic articles published in Chinese magazines reveals the concern of the Asian country for Spacex’s spatial domain. Why worries so much Starlink. The constellation of satellites carried out by Elon Musk controls two thirds of all active satellites in the world, with more than 8,000 operational units. Its ability to provide fast and cheap connectivity anywhere on the planet, including remote areas, makes it a strategic tool. Chinese researchers They fear that the United States will use it as a military weapon after checking its effectiveness in Ukraine, where facilitated the communications of the Ukrainian army and the control of combat drones. What China poses. Several Chinese researchers and scientists have proposed multiple approaches To counteract Starlink. Engineers of the Popular Liberation Army suggest creating a fleet of spy satellites that follow those of Musk, collecting signals and using corrosive materials to damage their batteries. Other researchers propose optical telescopes to monitor the network, generation of false objectives through Deepfakes and the use of powerful lasers to burn equipment. They have also identified vulnerabilities in the Spacex supply chain, which has more than 140 main suppliers. They will not only be countermeasted. Beijing is not limited to planning countermeasures: it is building its own alternative. In 2021 the Chinese state company created SATNET To develop Guowang, a military megaconstellation that already has 60 operational satellites of the 13,000 planned. In parallel, The Qianfan companysupported by the Shanghai government, has launched 90 satellites of the planned 15,000 and already competes for contracts in Brazil, Kazakhstan, Malaysia and several African countries. The geopolitical context. The Ukraine War marked a turning point in Starlink’s global perception. The conflict showed that the control of satellite communications can tip the balance. What worries China is that a single man like Musk can also interrupt critical services. The medium raises as an example that time in which the tycoon He denied his coverage For a Ukrainian counterattack in Crimea. This dependence on private actors He has not only alarmed Chinabut also to traditional allies of the United States such as the European Union, which invests billions in Your own Iris2 constellation. What comes now. The overwhelming domain of Starlink in space, which already operates in more than 140 countries and only has dead areas in North Korea, Iran and China, has triggered a undercover space race. While Amazon develops her Project Kuiper With just 78 satellites, China accelerate your programs To reduce Musk’s advantage. Interestingly, one of the papers of Chinese researchers simply had the following title: “Be careful with Starlink”. It is clear that space control will be an advantage for armed conflicts and commercial wars that are being released.

The platform eliminates its cheapest plan without ads

by

Winds of change in Netflix blow. Again. In silence and without issuing any type of statement to media, the platform has eliminated of a stroke the basic plan without ads. From today, that subscription, which until now was the cheapest option to see content without advertising, disappears. Not only for the new highs, but the users who paid for it will have to move to another. The options are two: start paying much more or pay less in exchange for seeing ads. The basic plan. If we look back, we will remember that Netflix offered a Basic plan without ads for 7.99 euros per month. This plan included the fair and necessary in terms of access, since it did not admit several simultaneous devices, or extra subscribers, or downloads, or broadcast to Chromecast and the resolution was HD (720p). However, I had no publicity. 7 tricks to make Netflix the most Image | Cottonbro Studio Cheap netflix = netflix with ads. With recent changes, that plan will cease to exist on September 1. Netflix remains, therefore, with only three plans: standard with ads (6.99 euros, ads, fullhd and limited catalog), standard (13.99 euros, without ads, Fullhd and the entire catalog) and Premium (19.99 euros, without ads, 4K and the entire catalog). What is the problem? That the plan will disappear, so the user will have to make a decision: pay one euro less per month and see ads or pay six more euros and not see them. Yes, it is true that the standard plan with ads is cheaper, admits FullHD resolution and two simultaneous devices, but the catalog is limited and well, it has advertising. In the event that the user does not make a decision, he will automatically pass to this plan. From now on, the cheapest plan to see Netflix without ads costs 13.99 euros per month Netflix without ads rises in price. It is another way of seeing it. After this change, the cheapest way to see the Netflix content without advertising happens to cost six euros more, which is what the standard plan is worth. The Premium Plan, which is the most powerful thing the company offers, does not rise in price and remains at 19.99 euros per month. And it works. Netflix’s great triumph has been to return to the exit boxto want to pay to see ads. Time has proved the platforms, who have found in their plans with advertisements one of the main drivers of new subscribers. In the case of Netflix, the platform announced in May that had reached 94 million users of plans with advertisements, a sensitive increase with respect to the 70 million it had in November 2023. These plans have reached almost all platforms and, incidentally, The volume of subscriptions triggered. It seems that the average user weighs more the potential savings in the monthlyness than to see some ads to which, on the other hand, it is already accustomed to linear television or social networks.

Madrid’s plan to resurrect a road that has been dead for more than twenty years

by

Madrid has a ghost highway. It is not that it appears and disappears, it is always present. Nor is it that ghosts pass through her. We don’t know that. What is certain is that cars do not happen. If the few neighbors who want to take a walk through a 12 -kilometer asphalt block that does not lead anywhere. Almost 20 years later they want to finish it. Paralyzed. 2005. Alcalá de Henares (Madrid). The works of the MP-203 begin. The goal is to decongest the A-2 highway at its entrance to Madrid. The intention is to offer an alternative route to those who, at the outset, go further south. Start in the A-2 as it passes through Alcalá de Henares, destiny the A-3 as it passes through Vallecas. Two years later, the works were abandoned. Cintra, the concessionary company with the right to exploitation for the next 30 years after disbursement of more than 100 million euros stopped the works. From the Government of the Community of Madrid (PP), they said, first, that the efforts with the Government (then PSOE) had squandered the project. Subsequently, with the PP governing in Spain, the problem seemed to be in the relationship with Adif, on the occasion of a passage under the high speed Madrid-Barcelona. Cintra said the ball was on the roof of the regional government. All chaos can be reviewed in this article The country 2013. The Ghost Highway. By then, the road had been paralyzed for six years, without moving even one more meter from there where Cintra, 70 million euros spent, had left it. The residents of Alcalá de Henares did not know that in 2025 they were still going to have 12.5 kilometers paved from a highway anywhere. Because the beginning and end of the highway is the same: sand. Since the project was launched 20 years ago, the highway remains in the same state. Only the pedestrians who venture to take a walk through an environment of postpocalyptic reminiscences are passed. The MP-203 did not enjoy the global rescue that received the Spanish toll roads mediated the next decade. Now yes? 20 years after the works began. 18 years after his abandonment. The Community of Madrid has included in its Regional Road Plan for the 2025-2032 period the intention of carrying out the MP-203 spoiled project. The information brings it 20 minuteswho point out that the initial plan goes to begin the works in 2026 and have the road ended in 2028. To launch the project again, the Community of Madrid estimates that 58.5 million euros will be necessary. This figure would be added to the 70 million paid to Ferrovial (last responsible for the works) for compensation for not having finished the works at the time after the company made the initial investment. The changes? The most obvious: cars will circulate. Or, at least, they will not do it illegally as those who dispute the victory in the races that are organized there. Nor will the specialists who, this time legally, star in the filming that are consent there. In addition, the road is no longer faced as a toll road. The intention is that the link is completely free. Of course, in order to get to fruition, the final plan must be approved before the end of the year. If we get ahead, the road will end two decades after planning.

Anthropic has seen that their users do not stop using the 200 euros plan a month of their AI. They had to stop their feet

by

Anthropic has announced new weekly limits for your CLAUDE They have already entered into force, especially affecting Claude Code, their programming tool through artificial intelligence. The measure arrives after some users have been executing the tool continuously 24 hours a dayconsuming resources equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars with the most expensive subscriptions of $ 200 per month. There are saturation and the accounts do not come out. The most intensive developers They are putting cane To the Anthropic servers, saturating them with a use that goes far beyond what the company had planned at first. Some programmers have configured Claude Code to permanently operate in the background, automating tasks and generating code without stopping. This has caused Claude Code to have suffered partial or total falls at least seven times in the last month, according to THE STATE PAGE of Anthropic. New limits. Of course, users will have limits that restart every seven daysin addition to the current five -hour limits. Users of the Pro Plan ($ 20 per month) will be able to use between 40 and 80 hours a week with the sonnet 4. those of the Max Plan of $ 100 will have between $ 140 and 280 hours with Sonnet 4 and up to 35 hours with Opus 4. The Max Plan of 200 dollars will allow up to 480 hours with Sonnet 4 and 40 hours with Opus 4. Anthropic ensures that less than 5% of its users will be affected by these changes. It is not an isolated case. Other companies in the sector are living similar situations. Cursor, the popular programming tool with AI, changed its price strategy In June to stop the most intensive users of their 0 dollars plan, although He had to apologize Then not to communicate the changes well. Replit, another rival in the space of the program assisted by AI, also implemented similar measures the same month. It is clear that companies dedicated to AI are experiencing their plans and studying the use given by their users. That there are price changes as soon is a symptom that they are still taking their pulse while looking for a way for the business to come out profitable. Hidden limits. One of Claude’s problems is that it does not offer an accountant that allows users to know how much they are consuming in real time. Developers have to go “blind” until they run directly with the limit, something that generates frustration especially among those who pay the most expensive subscriptions. In addition, the company has detected that some users are sharing and reverting accounts, which makes the use of these accounts even more intensive. An experimental business model. Anthropic has pledged to offer “other options” for cases of intensive use in the future, but for the moment the priority is to maintain stable service for most users. Subscribers of the Max Plan may buy additional use at API prices when they exceed their limits. Keep a generative ia service as Claude It’s a challengeespecially if you want to guarantee maximum performance to all users. That is why we see so many changes in their plans, and it will not be uncommon to see them in the rest of the alternatives.

We believed that the Zbe of Spain were an ambitious idea until we discovered Vietnam’s plan: end their motorcycles

by

Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam, a city where eight million people live. Almost everyone has a motorcycle. It is not an exaggeration: estimate It is between 6 and 7 million motorcycles in the city. The use of motorcycles represents Between 85% and 90% of filmed traffic in the country and the government has had an idea to erase all combustion motorcycles in the center of the capital by 2026. And manufacturers of electric motorcycles They rub their hands. Short. The contamination in the big cities Asian is a problem. That only in Hanoi there are about seven million motorcycles, not counting other vehicles such as cars, roads and motor tricycles, it is a barbarity that implies high levels of pollution. In the middle of the adventure that faces half the world To achieve the decarbonization, Combustion vehicles have become a problem and the Vietnamese government has decided to start taking action. The measure began to be raised in 2017, but We already have date Definitive: As of July 1, 2026, motorcycles with combustion engines will not be able to circulate through the center of Hanoi. The measure is part of a much more ambitious national plan: totally eliminate combustion motorcycles by 2045 with a double objective: that of the air pollution And also, the noise pollution. Brutal market. Although the plan will come into force on that date, it will be extended little by little to cover more districts and, as they point out in Electreklater these measures will also apply to other thermal vehicles. Hanoi, in addition, is not alone in this, since Saigón and Da Nang, with nine and 1.2 million inhabitants respectively, are also considering adopting these measures. It will be a brutal blow for a market in which estimates They point to the existence of 770 motorcycles per 1,000 people. In September alone, there were 77 million motorcycles registered in the country, an absolute barbarity that leaves out those that are not registered for various reasons. Manufacturers. The market also does not stop. The annual sales They are over three million units annually with sales only during the first quarter of this 2025 of more than 670,000 units, which represents 11.5% more than the same period of the previous year. And this market is led, above all, by foreign brands. Honda has a market share of more than 80% this year, with 200,000 units sold only in March. Yamaha, Piaggio, Suzuki and Sym are other favorites, but there is a company that is growing by leaps and bounds and will become the top winner of this measure: VINFAST. Hands rub. After Honda and Yamaha, it is the brand that is selling the most this year and what is special is that it is an electric motorcycle company. The market share of this type of propulsion increased from an estimate of 5.4% in 2019 to 12% in 2022. It was a great jump, especially if we take into account that there were no measures as radical as those that the Government raises at the moment and, currently, currently, Vinfast leads The electric motorcycle segment with 43% of the cake. In addition, it is local. During the first five months of this year, sales in this segment have increased and the company has sold 488% more. With the big cities of the country limiting thermal motorcycles, the figure from here to two years can be stratospheric. Who pays it. As usual, families with lower income. There are about 100 motorcycle models in Vietnam with low displacement models dominating the market, but also with larger and more powerful. The Price fork It is wide enough (Honda models by less than 800 dollars) So that almost everyone has a motorcycle within their economic possibilities, but with this transition, a problem also comes. Several families that depend on motorcycles for their livelihood have already expressed in media such as Vietnam Express either Al Jazeera His concern for change. Those with lower income will have difficulty facing the change to an electric motorcycle and, in addition, there are complaints about the speed at which the change decision will have to be made because it is only a year for the prohibition. Aid. One way to face the situation is through a aid program. As we read in Electrivethere are two measures that can be made from the government to facilitate the transition. The first is a series of subsidies to consumers that allow residents to replace almost half a million thermal motorcycles with electric equivalents. On the other hand, An improvement in infrastructure and load network. Because, obviously, if you want to achieve such an aggressive transition, it cannot be pretended that everything falls to the consumer because there will be many who cannot take the motorcycle home with a private charge port. In parallel, and to attend public transport, the city plans to expand the fleet of electric microbuses. Last month, Saigon already It started to expand its urban fleet of electric motorcycles. Industry. It only remains to expect how the market adapts with this forced change towards electric motorcycles, but you will also have to see how manufacturers such as Honda or Yamaha will be adapted. Because these brands not only sell in Vietnam: they manufacture in the country and, apart from covering national demand, are a Strong export point For Southeast Asia. Not to mention that it is an industry that use To millions of people already who this change will not leave indifferent.

The plan to manufacture the purest semiconductors in the world is to go to space

by

While the United States and China tense their relationships with Taiwan chips factories in the center of the dispute, a Welsh Startup has been getting allies To manufacture semiconductors in orbit. The objective: to achieve an impossible quality to replicate on Earth. Context. The geopolitics of semiconductors is possibly one of the largest headaches for world powers. Europe imports 80% of the chips you need, and 90% of the most advanced It comes from Taiwan. An climb of tension in the region could have catastrophic consequences. Therefore, the search for a resilient supply chain is a strategic priority. The solution, paradoxically, may not be on earth. This is where it enters Space Forgean Aerospace Company based in Cardiff that is developing reusable satellites to manufacture semiconductors and other advanced materials in orbit. Manufacture chips in space. Why go so far for something so small? The answer is in physics. Vacuum and microgravity They are ideal conditions for the development of ultrapurus crystalsthe base of any semiconductor. On earth, gravity introduces tiny imperfections and defects in the crystalline structure of the materials during their formation. NASA He has been studying for decades The advantages of manufacturing in space. Gravity causes phenomena such as convection and sedimentation of molten materials, which prevents a homogeneous distribution of components and generates defects. In space, these problems disappear. Materials are formed more perfectly, which translates into higher quality chips, more efficient and lower energy consumption. The first satellite. Space Force believes that glass “seeds” can occur in space 10 times pure That anyone found on Earth, which would result in semiconductors with a hundredth of the defects. Less defects implies less waste, greater performance and, ultimately, more powerful and efficient devices. But how much of promise and what about reality? The company has already put its first manufacturing satellite, the Forgestar-1. Successfully released in June 2025 On board a spacex rocket, this satellite, developed entirely in Wales, is the first British spacecraft sent to space with the purpose of producing new materials. It is a first demonstration mission: it will prove that the appropriate environment for space can be created and some production techniques will validate. NATO is knocking on the door. Space Forge got 30 million dollars In its first financing round, the largest series for a space technology in the United Kingdom. The most significant is Who leads The investment: NIF, the NATO Innovation Fund. The NIF highlighted “the independence of the long -term supply and resilience” chain as one of the reasons to invest in the startup. This capital injection will accelerate the development of the Forgestar-2, the next generation of its returnable manufacturing satellite. Microgravity as a service. The potential of microgravity manufacturing goes beyond semiconductors. Metal alloys can be impossible to mix on the earth or new compound materials. The pharmaceutical industry could also benefit greatly, with improvements in the useful life of medicines and administration methods. Space Forge aspires to a business model of “microgravadad-asservice“, an idea that somehow remembers the Arm licenses model. Instead of selling chips, it will rent spaces in its” orbital factories “so that others produce their own materials. In Xataka | Manufacturing materials for space is fine.

NASA lost the best camera in Jupiter. A suicide plan has served to recover it successfully

by

It seemed the premature end of the mission. The Junocam, the camera that has given us the most spectacular images of Jupiter and his moons, was dying. The relentless radiation of the gaseous giant had degraded the sweat sensor Juno turning his photos into a noise knead and corrupt lines. We had to try. With an overfruit of the moon ío just around the corner, the NASA team played the whole for the whole with a risky maneuver: cook the camera slowly at 600 million kilometers away to try to repair it. Although all at the control center endured breathing, the play worked. And not only that, but the miraculous rescue has sat a precedent for future space missions. Jupiter’s best photographer. Trying it was worth it because Junocam is not any camera. Is responsible for those Jupiter images that seem impressionist paintings and that, curiously, they are prosecuted by a community of fans on Earth. But its location is priced: it is out of titanium “bunker” that protects the main electronics of the Juno probe. NASA engineers knew that their useful life would be limited in one of the most radioactive environments of the solar system. The Calvary of the Junocam. The juno probe, that arrived in Jupiter in July 2016was designed to last until 2018, but its success has led NASA to extend the mission several times. During the first 34 orbits, Junocam worked perfectly. From orbit 47, radiation ravages began to be evident. For orbit 56, in November 2023, the situation was critical. “Almost all the images were corrupt,” admits NASA In a statement. The planet Jupiter and the moon ío photographed by Juno before and after repair A repair to all or nothing. Diagnosing the failure of a component at millions of kilometers is a titanic task. Repairing is a miracle. The clues pointed to a damaged voltage regulator at the camera power supply. With few options, the team resorted to a process called annealing or Annealing. The idea was, in essence, to heat the material and then cool it slowly, with the hope that heat would repair microscopic defects at the atomic level. “The annealing can sometimes alter a material such as silicon at the microscopic level, but we did not know if this would solve the damage,” explains Jacob Shaffner, chamber engineer. Forged on fire. NASA sent a command to Juno so that the only heater in the Junocam raised its temperature at about 25 ° C, much more than usual. The result was a success … temporary. The camera sent sharp images for several orbits. But Jupiter does not forgive. As the probe entered the radiation belts, the damage returned more strongly. “After orbit 55, our images were full of stripes and noise,” says Michael Ravine, head of the instrument. With an upcoming one Near Iro of íoonly one option was left. The only thing they had not tried was to take Junocam heater to the fullest and see if a more extreme recovery would save us. The reward. The first week there were no improvements. The tension in the equipment was maximum. But just a few days after the encounter with ío, the images began to improve dramatically. By the time Juno went to just 1,500 kilometers of the most volcanic moon in the solar system, the camera worked almost as well as the day of its launch. The success of the maneuver allowed Juno to capture very unprecedented and unprecedented images of the northern pole. The images revealed mountains covered with sulfur dioxide frost and Lava rivers that allowed scientists to rebuild geological formations as fascinating as A lava lake with a glass mountain Inside. This achievement is the culmination of an extended mission that has led Juno to explore Jupiter’s great moons. First it was Ganímedes in 2021the largest satellite of the solar system, and then Europe in 2022. I was as follows on the list, and losing the main camera would have been a hard blow. The repair, of course, is not eternal. NASA informs that noise has begun to reappear in orbit 74. But the lesson learned is incalculable.

That is why it has a 500,000 million plan

by

Taiwan is a worldwide potential in semiconductors. TSMC leadership In this industry, and to a lesser extent the economic performance of other Taiwanese companies also very relevant, such as Foxconn or UMC, has placed its economy Among the twenty -five major on the planet. Usually moves between positions 21 and 22, what is not bad if we are in mind that the island’s population barely exceeds 23 million people. However, if we stick to the thriving artificial intelligence (AI) Taiwan for the moment does not have much to say. TSMC manufactures most of the market chips, but in the field of large language models for ia who are currently singing voice are USA and China. Europe and other powers are trying to make their way not to fall back in A sector of undoubted strategic importancebut until now Taiwan has been essentially irrelevant. This is about to change. Taiwan plans to launch its initiative “Ten great AI infrastructure projects” The US government led by Donald Trump is determined to lead in the field of the cost of what costs. And in principle this initiative, baptized by the new administration as ‘Stargate project’will cost 500,000 million dollars. This money will leave the coffers of the Japanese investment group SoftBank; of those of OpenAI, the creators of Chatgpt; of those of Oracle, and, finally, it will also be provided by the investment firm Emiraratí MGX. Taiwan is going to bet if it fits as strong as the US. And is that, According to ReutersPrime Minister Cho Jung-Tai has confirmed that the government will expand investment in innovation in AI in more than 3,000 million dollars with the purpose of generating more than more than 510,000 million in economic value From here to 2040. This money will come from the administration and from the venture capital companies. Its investment is much more restrained than that of the US, but if we have the difference between the volume of these two economies there is no doubt that Taiwan’s effort is very large. The Taiwanese government will expand investment in innovation in AI in more than 3,000 million dollars And it is because its economy is at stake. In fact, the government expects the development of its infrastructure of the generation of 500,000 new jobs. In addition, he plans to tuning three research laboratories in international reference in a clear attempt to support China’s pulse, which leads with the US in IA. Nevertheless, Cho Jung-Tai has confirmed that there are three other technologies that also have a strategic priority for Taiwan. The first one is the Fotonic silicona discipline that seeks to develop the technology of this chemical element to optimize the transformation of electrical signals into light pulses. The most obvious field of application of this innovation is the implementation of High performance links That, on paper, they can be used both to solve communications between several chips and to optimize the transfer of information between several machines. Another technology that also has enormous strategic importance for Taiwan is the binomial formed by Quantum computing and quantum telecommunications. In this area lead and China lead. And finally, the application of AI to robotics is also essential for the Taiwanese government. In fact, Young Liu, the president of Foxconn, leads a working group called “Great Alliance of the Robotics of Taiwan” who seeks to place the island in the head in a sector that has enormous growth potential.

Nvidia cannot sell her most powerful chips to China for sanctions. So you have found a plan B: Risc-V

by

Nvidia has announced that Its CUDA platform will be compatible with RISC-V processors. He has done so during the Risc-V Summit in China and the chosen place is not accidental: this announcement clearly points to the Chinese market. For the first time, the technology that allows applications to communicate with the NVIDIA GPUs will be extended beyond ARM and X86, towards an open source architecture. Why is it important. CUDA It is the software that operates the Nvidia’s ecosystem. Without a CUDA, the GPU would lose much of their parallel calculation apacities. That Nvidia opens this technology to RISC-V It means that processors based on this open architecture can now serve as the main CPU in NVIDIA GPU systems. The background. The announcement, in addition to making in China, comes while China is accelerating its efforts to reduce its dependence of western processors. Nvidia can’t sell your most powerful models GB200 and GB300 to China for US sanctions, so in this way finds a way to maintain relevant Cuda in the Chinese market. Between the lines. There is a lot of geopolitical strategy in this decision: NVIDIA has been integrating RISC-V nuclei for years into its own GPU for low-level control tasks. Now it makes the jump to support RISC-V as the main processor. And that responds to a reality: if China is going to develop its own processors using open architectures, Nvidia wants to be there from the beginning. In detail. The configuration shown by NVIDIA shows a heterogeneous system: The GPU handles parallel loads. The RISC-V processor executes the CUDA controllers and the application logic. And a DPU manages network tasks. This architecture allows you to orchestrate GPU computations completely within the CUDA environment, something impossible so far with RISC-V. Deepen. Historically, Nvidia has behaved Cuda to each important architecture: X86, ARM, PowerPC and even Sparc de Sun. The company understands that it must be present from the first day on any platform that can take off in the business sector. With a value already exceeding 4 billion dollarsNvidia can afford to bet on all promising architectures. And now the movement positions RISC-V as a viable alternative for future designs of AI processors and high performance computing. If the stars align, other manufacturers could follow the example of Nvidia. And that would accelerate the adoption of RISC-V in data centers beyond China.
