His model is not only powerful and free, but it has cost much less

by

Openai yesterday launched its first models with open weights since 2019: GPT-Oss-120B and GPT-Oss-20B. Two reasoning systems that mark a radical change in the company’s strategy after Deepseek R1’s success At the beginning of the year. Why is it important. Openai has gone from defending the safety of closed models to recognize that “it was on the wrong side of history” with open models. The earthquake that caused Deepseek In January he forced them to rethink their entire strategy. The context. Until now, Openai had kept all its models closed since GPT-2justifying it for security reasons. But rivals as a goal with Calls And especially Chinese companies with Depseek, Qwen and Kimi They have gained ground in the open ecosystem. The turning point came when Depseek R1 showed that it was possible to create advanced reasoning models with a fraction of the cost of Americans. Sam Altman then admitted that Openai needed “finding a different open source strategy.” And here it is. In figures: The major model, GPT-Oss-120bworks at a single 80 GB GPU with just 5,100 million active parameters of its 117,000 million total. His little brother, GPT-Oss-20bit can be executed in a laptop with 16 GB of memory (although the speed seems to be very slow with such a configuration, in the absence that we can try it more thoroughly). The current situation. The Benchmarks independent They place GPT-Oss-120b with a score of 58 in the intelligence indexsurpassing O3-mini but being below O3 and O4-mini. In competitive programming tasks it reaches 2622 points in Codeforces, while Depseek R1 achieves less score with a much heavier model. In detail. Architecture uses a system of Mix of experts (Moe, Mixture of experts) that activates only a fraction of the total parameters for each consultation. This allows the 120,000 million model of parameters to activate only 4.4% in each consultation, while the 20,000 million activates 17.2%. Both models maintain chain reasoning ability without direct supervision, following the principle that visible reasoning is necessary to detect undue behaviors. Yes, but. OpenAI has not made public training data, maintaining part of the secret. Nor does it include multimodal capabilities, limited only to text. Hallucinations are significantly higher than in their own models: 49% and 53% respectively compared to 16% of O1. Between the lines. This launch responds to both Chinese competitive pressure and the new Trump administration, which has urged US companies to release more technology to “promote the global adoption of aligned with American values.” The company has worked with partners such as Orange, Snowflake and AI Sweden for real use cases, seeking to validate whether the advantages justify continuing to invest in open models. Deepen. The models are available under Apache 2.0 license on platforms such as Hugging Facewith native support in tools such as Ollama, LM Studio and Services Cloud of the main suppliers. Openai has organized a network Teaming Challenge with $ 500,000 in prizes to identify security risks. This is OpenAi’s response to his Deepseek moment: recognizing that open innovation is not only inevitable, but necessary to stay competitive in a panorama where cost and accessibility matter as much as performance.

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.

In 2030 he plans to have the most powerful quantum computer that exists

by

China and the US are the countries that are dedicating more resources to the development of Quantum technologies. And also those who are reaching The most relevant achievements. However, there is a country that has officialized its intention to lead in the medium term both in the field of Quantum computing as in the manufacture of semiconductors: Japan. In the middle of last April we tell you that the Riken Center for Quantum Computing and Fujitsu had just announced that they had developed in a joint project A superconductor quantum computer endowed with 256 cubits. A priori may not seem like a great achievement if we are in mind that IBM already has a condora superconductor quantum processor of 1,121 cubits, and also The Heron platform (5k) endowed with error mitigation. And the China Telecom Quantum Group (CTQG) and the Center for Excellence in Quantum Information and Quantum Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed The Xiaohong quantum processor of 504 superconductor cubits. However, Japan’s plan in the field of quantum machines does not end up here. And it is that in 2030 it intends to have a quantum computer 25% more powerful that the most capable that IBM will have at that time. 250 logical cubits to make a difference The design and tuning project of this ambitious quantum machine is already underway. And the Riken Center for Quantum Computing, Fujitsu and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science in Japan. This quantum computer will use superconductor cubits and a very advanced cooling system, presumably a dilution system similar to the employee by The machine they presented in April. Whatever your best asset, if you finally get to fruition, it will be its 250 logical cubits. Each logical ul Logical cubits represent a way to overcome the difficulty involved in the use of hardware or physical cubits, which are extremely noise sensitive, and, therefore, prone to make mistakes. Each logical cubit is constructed in an abstract way About several physical or hardware cubitsso that a single logical cubit encodes a single cubit of quantum information, but with redundancy. It is precisely this redundancy that allows to detect and correct the errors that are present in the physical cubits. Until very recently the number of hardware cubits that was necessary to implement a single logical cubit immune to errors was impracticable, but IBM says that he has found the solution To this problem. And presumably Fujitsu and the Riken center too. IBM is going to build The quantum computer ‘Starling’ in a new data center that will be housed in Paughkeepsie, New York (USA). This machine will bring together 200 logical cubits that, in theory, will allow you to execute 100 million quantum operations. IBM says that ‘Starling’ will be ready in 2029but, as I mentioned a few lines above, Fujitsu and Riken intend to have their quantum machine of 250 logical cubits in 2030. If they get it, they are likely to lead in this field. In any case, before that milestone arrives, much earlier, in 2026, they pursue to be ready A 1,000 cubits computer. They will not be 1,000 logical cubits; They will be 1,000 conventional cubits, and, therefore, prone to make mistakes. Even so, if Japan get it, only one step from the US and China will be placed in this field.

Bill Gates has been using a powerful tool for creativity and innovation for years: loneliness

by

Loneliness has Very bad reputation. As the neuroscientific nicole vignola assured In one of its conferencesthe negativity bias is very powerful when talking about it. As Remember From the European Institute of Positive Psychology, “loneliness is not being alone, it is the ability to be with no one.” However, loneliness intentional and well understoodIt is the Perfect culture broth To shape To the great ideas and as a tool to build the foundations of self -confidence and mental balance. Many of the great technological, scientific or artistic achievements have been possible because, at a given time, their drivers They have moved away from everything and everyone To concentrate on shaping your ideas. His brains only needed A little loneliness. When the urgent eclipse to the important At present there is more value to what The New York Times called “Hustle culture“, To have the agenda of the day to overflow with tasks, instead of the real luxury that is to keep it completely empty and allocate time to think in the really important. How are creative and innovative ideas to arise if We don’t even spend time thinking about them and why not, to wander? That superpower of emptying the agenda and allocating time to reflect is something Bill Gates learned from his friend and mentor Warren Buffet, as confessed in A joint interview. Science has demonstrated That letting your brain rest and not doing anything is like letting your brain release in an amusement park. In that context, loneliness is a great ally. As shown in the Netflix series ‘Bill Gates: Under the magnifying glass’Microsoft’s founding millionaire is taken every year a “week of reflection”, in which solitude is withdrawn to a refuge in nature to read, reflect and generate new ideas. According The published by The Wall Street JournalHence, initiatives such as Microsoft Internet Explorer browser emerged in 1995. It has not been the only one, such and as stood out Susan Cain in The New York Times, “Steve Wozniak achieved the work (to unite the components of the first Apple) – the hard work of creating something from nothing – did it alone. At the time of the morning, completely alone.” Some of the great masterpieces of literature or art have emerged from intentional isolation of its authors. Of take distance from the noisy world and let the brain stop receiving external stimuli that distract him from what really matters: generate new ideas. The science of success of being alone Scientific evidence confirms what the great geniuses of technology or art have already demonstrated. Even Seneca dedicated a good part of his Morales Epistles to Lucilio to the noble art of reflection in solitude and its benefits. According to a joint study Of the universities of Michigan and Harvard, highly intelligent people often experience greater vital satisfaction when they reduce their frequency of social interaction. “Participants with high intellectual coefficient expressed higher levels of satisfaction when their social contact was more sporadic.” This finding has been confirmed by parallel investigations from the University of Buffalo, which conclude that people who enjoy the solitude voluntarily They show high levels of creativity and self -reflection. Alone According to He counted to CNBC Joseph Jebelli, postdoctoral researcher at the University of Washington and author of the book ‘The Brain at Rest ‘spend time with oneself and let the brain Rest without stimuli nor external conditioning could be key in personal and professional development. The expert ensures that There is no perfect amount of loneliness And it depends on each person, but points out that the more values those moments of loneliness and self -reflection, the better it will be for your brain because more opportunities will have to wander and Connect unconnected ideas and abstract knowledge to generate a new one. Jebelli recommends starting in a simple way and intentionally searching for 10 minutes of loneliness per day in a quiet place “where they do not bother you and take advantage of that time to sit and breathe. This small step can help the brain to enter a state of relaxation and to start the activation process of the activation of the default neuronal network“ The neuroscientist not only recommends taking care of the moments of loneliness, but also being selective with the moments of socializationseeking that “it is a significant and quality activity. Many of us spend time with people with whom we should not because we feel forced.” According to Jebelli, this “toxic” socialization increases blood cortisol levels causing them to be harmful to mental and physical health. More and more people travel alone or They look for isolated retreats as a way to reconnect with themselves and reduce the social overestimulation, As documented The confidential. This phenomenon is perceived as an act of autolide and not negative isolation, and allows Strengthen self -esteem and provide people with psychological tools to improve the way they face day -to -day challenges and problems.

Extremadura promised them very happy with its powerful Spanish tomato industry. Until China arrived

by

More than market fluctuationsthe production costs or the rain. If there is something capable of removing the dream from Spanish farmers dedicated to tomato cultivation, China is. The Asian giant is the great tomato garden of the world and it is increasingly difficult to compete with its prices. Hence, in Extremadura, the region that More hectares dedicated to industrial plantations, recognize That today the competition of the Asian vegetable is its “biggest problem.” The big question is … What to expect from now on? Tomato “Made in Extremadura”. If we talk about Spanish tomatoespecially from industry oriented, Extremadura is the king. In the 2023 campaign, the 75% of the surface of cultivation of the country, at a considerable distance from Andalusia (11.3%) and Navarra (7.9%). And the percentage is even greater if we talk about production volume. In 2021 the regional government estimated that the surface dedicated to the crop was around 23,000 hectares. Throughout Spain it was around 31,000. A sector with swings. The tomato industry is powerful, but like many other crops is subject to the fields of the field and the market. In January, for example, Extremaduran farmers They alerted that the price of the fruit was below the cost of production: the vegetable ton was quoted at 107 euros in the private industry and 115 in cooperatives, far from the 140 reached in 2024 or the average cost of production of recent years, which It was 128. “The situation of tomato is unbearable. If urgent measures are not taken, many farmers will be forced to abandon the crop, which will seriously affect the sustainability of the sector and employment in the Extremaduran field,” warned At the beginning of the year Juan Metidieri, president of Aigg Extremadura Asaja. This year the culture surface will be reduced by several hectares, Precise The economistamong other reasons to avoid stock accumulation. China slopes. In the sector there is, however, something that rests so much or more than production costs or fluctuations in the price of the vegetable. Farmers have been concerned for a long time. Heavyweight of the world tomato market, China, which leads the “Top 4” next to the United States, India and Türkiye. According to data from World Population Reviewits production exceeded in 2022 the 68 million tons and a large part of that fruit ends in the world market -oriented market circuit. The problem is not so much the huge production of China and its prices and the pressure they exert in the sector. A few months ago, during An interview with Financial TimesFrancesco Mutti, the executive director of the sauce manufacturer who takes his last name, warned that much of the cheap tomato paste that arrives from China occurs in the Xinjiang region, where companies benefit from “very, very low labor costs.” That panorama and the different requirements facing European and Asian crops They worry Also in Extremadura. “It’s the biggest problem”. Its effect on the market worries so much that Domingo Fernández, president of APIS Group and manager of Agrifood Cooperatives of Extremadura, recognized recently to The economist that right now the Chinese tomato represents “the biggest problem.” The reason? In his opinion, the differences in controls in Spain and China derives in a “unfair competition.” Similar opinion shared Recently in Today José A. Gutiérrez, Farmer: “What we can not compete in the supermarket with products that enter Spain without those limitations. Compites against a Chinese tomato that has no traceability. It requires controls that are not appreciated in the market.” Are you worrying alone in Extremadura? At all. The sector has been on guard for Asian competition for years, something that is seen with concern both in Extremadura and in other regions or countries of Europe. In 2016 the Las Marismas Cooperativa, in Andalusia, He warned Of the challenges that Spanish farmers face: “They ask us for European quality at the price of Chinese tomato, something impossible taking into account the costs for the industry.” If someone has expressed themselves in a resounding and achieved echo manner in the sector, it is, however, the Italian Francesco Mutti, at the head of a business conglomerate dedicated to food that only in 2023 he billed 665 million of euros. Restrictions, tariffs? “We should stop the importation of Chinese tomato paste or add a 60% tax so that its cost is not so different from Italian products,” Mutti advocates before insisting that “more than 90%” of China’s tomatoes occur in Xinjiang, a region subject to scrutiny of the United Nations allegations of Human Rights against the Uigur minority, including episodes of forced labor. “We must protect them”. According to FTin 2024 China monopolized 23% of the global tomato production, several points above 18% of the previous year. Its production is also much cheaper: Chinese tomato paste costs about half that created in Italy. “We must teach our farmers to grow better, but also protect them from unfair competition. Otherwise, the result will not be a better environment, but to transfer our production abroad,” Mutti advocateswho has already sent his concerns to Brussels. The panorama, Remember Antonio Lucas MarínProfessor of Sociology and Economist, it does not seem simple: China The flow of Chinese tomato paste has been growing after the increase in energy and fertilizers in Europe. In the case of Extremadura, Asian competition will not be felt alone in Spain. The export community Thousands of tons of prepared or preserved tomato. “The Extremadura Tomato Transformation Industries have become the leading agri -food export sector Extremadura, ahead of the fruit. More than 80% of the total is allocated to the export market, with prominent markets such as France, the United Kingdom or Germany among many others,” he says A report on the production and economic footprint of the sector published in 2022.

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.

Samsung is committed to fighting with nails and teeth the most powerful mobile chip race. The perfect candidate finally has

by

The world of semiconductors has a look set on the next generation of integrated circuits manufactured in lithographic processes of 2 nm. Meanwhile, the most advanced processors for mobile phones continue to use the 3 Nm processes. Giants such as TSMC have demonstrated their good work with proposals such as Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elitehe Apple A18 Pro Apple, and even the Xiaomi Xring 01. Now it is Samsung’s turn. The company has presented its Exynos 2500and it is much more than a processor. It is the company’s great opportunity to dissipate doubts about the performance of its mobile chips, one of the keys for the company’s semiconductor division to remain alive. Between surrender and reinvent the design of its highest range mobile processors, Samsung has chosen the second option. Why is it important. The Samsung Exynos 2500 It has been playing since last yearwith a production that did not enter into mass for the low performance he showed in the leaked tests. Going forward with the proposal does not show only that Samsung trusts this proposal: it is a message to the world about the point where they are and can become semiconductors. The company has not revealed what device this processor will premiere but, taking into account that there are Rumors on the table about a new unpackedit is more than likely to know him soon. The exynos 2500. I will not get bored with excessive technical data from the processor. Your keys are summarized in a simple way. It has a ten -core design, just like Xiaomi’s own processor. It is the only high -end processor, next to the Xring, with this design. It is its greatest particularity. Promises to be 39% more powerful in the process of AI. Supports cameras of up to 320 megapixels. It is built in the 3 Nm GAA process. Its largest nucleus is up to 15% more powerful than its predecessor. The main doubts are how these numbers will be translated in real use. Its architecture is quite similar to that of Xiaomi Xring (with Cortex X925, A725 and A520) and a Samsung Xclipse 950 GPU that will have to compete with the best adreno. The message. Ten -core CPU, cameras of 320 MPenergy efficiency and improvements in AI. Samsung has not fallen excessively Marketinians nor has he made promises that he cannot fulfill. It is a more powerful processor than the previous one, centered on AI and with support for the best technologies of the moment. The rest is about to prove. The key to Samsung. Samsung has been facing problems with its semiconductor division for years. Lose clients like Google To provide the pixel with their processor, it is one of the most recent blows, and survive to arrive with decent performance to the 2 Nm career is crucial for the future of the company. The company has delayed two of its most important projects today: the construction of its second manufacturing plant of avant -garde chips in Taylor (USA) and in Pyeongtaek (South Korea). They are projects that are still underway And they will be key to the development of their semiconductors but … it will use without customers. Exynos 2500 is the most recent test of the point where Samsung is in mobile chips. If it fails, the company will have it more difficult than ever to continue attracting investment.

Scientists have a new very powerful tool to fight Alzheimer’s and Parkinson: quantum computers

by

To solve most of the problems that scientists expect to be able to address in the future with Quantum computers capable of amending their own mistakes, such as optimization, those in the field of cryptography or artificial intelligenceit will be necessary have several million cubits. It can even, that hundreds of millions of cubits. The most advanced quantum processor currently IBM has itand it has just over a thousand cubits, so it is evident that many technological challenges remain that it is necessary to solve. The interesting thing is that there is no single way to go through this path. Organizations that are investigating in the field of quantum computing work in several different cubits technologiesand each of them is in a different degree of development. IBM, Intel and Google are some of the big companies that have opted for superconductor cubits, but also do so smaller ones, such as Atlantic Quantum, IQM, Anyon Systems, Rigetti Computing or Bleximo. In fact, if we stick to the number of companies that are working on this type of quantum bits it is reasonable to conclude that this is the technology that has greater support and greater investment, so, in some way, it is the one that goes in the lead. This strategy is probably what will help us to have more cubits, but it is also more prone to make mistakes than ion traps cubits, which are one of the alternatives to superconductors. In addition, these last cubits are characterized by working at a temperature of about 20 millikelvin, which are approximately -273 degrees Celsius, with the purpose of operating with the greater degree of isolation of the possible environment. Ion traps are given great proteins Ion traps are currently the main alternative to superconductor cubits. This is the technology in which they are working, among other companies, Ionq and Honeywell, and is characterized by using ionized atoms, and, therefore, with a non -neutral global electric charge. This property allows them to be isolated and confined inside an electromagnetic field, although this is only the starting point. From here Ionq acts on the quantum state of its cubits with ion traps cooling them to reduce the level of computational noise and uses lasers just then to operate with them. However, it does not use a single laser; Use one for each ionand also a global laser that acts on all of them simultaneously. Honeywell also uses ionized and laser atoms, but the procedure used to establish the intertwining between two ions and act on them with a laser is different from that used by Ionq. For scientists it is crucial to understand the folding of proteins that triggers Alzheimer’s or Parkinson Parkinson Precisely a team of researchers from this last company and the German emerging company specialized in quantum quantum computing To do something amazing: Solve protein folding problems with up to 12 amino acids. To carry it out they designed a quantum optimization method that seeks to find the optimal configuration of protein folding. Expressed in this way it seems complex, and it is, but the really important thing, and with what is worth it, it is that these quantum computers thanks to the appropriate algorithm are able to help scientists Understand the protein folding mechanism that triggers diseases such as Alzheimer’s or the Parkinson. And understand this phenomenon well is the first step towards the elaboration of effective treatment. This result is very promising, but there is still a lot of work to do so that quantum computers help us in front of these diseases. On the one hand, folding models must evolve to be more reliable and realistic. And, in addition, the classic algorithm that is responsible for refining the results delivered by the quantum algorithm should be more precise. Even so, the work of these researchers is an exceptionally promising starting point. Image | Ionq More information | Arxiv In Xataka | Quantum computers threaten encryption technologies.
