Alibaba has one of the best open source AI models. Your next step: use it in robotics

by

Alibaba has taken another step in its commitment to artificial intelligence by creating an internal team dedicated to roboticswhich will operate from qwenits AI modeling division. The Chinese giant, owner of one of the best open source AI models, now wants the Qwen team to know how to apply its knowledge in robotics, a sector that is beginning to awaken interest, not only in industry, but also with the arrival of projects in the domestic sphere. Who leads the project. Justin Lin, technology manager at Qwen and expert in multimodal models (capable of processing text, sound and images), was the one who has confirmed the creation of this “small team for robotics and embodied AI” through their social networks. Lin has worked on the development of the Qwen models, which are currently among the most popular in open source globally. The vision behind the movement. According to Linmultimodal AI models are evolving into “fundamental agents” capable of performing complex long-term reasoning tasks thanks to reinforcement learning. “They should definitely make the leap from the virtual world to the physical world,” he said. explained the manager, making clear the intention to apply these technologies in tangible devices. Alibaba’s big bet. This announcement is part of Alibaba’s broader strategy in the sector. Last month, the company led a financing round of 140 million dollars at X Square Robot, a Chinese robotics startup. In addition, its CEO Eddie Wu esteem that global investment in AI will reach $4 trillion in the next five years, a figure that reflects the sector’s expectations. Global competition. Alibaba is not alone in this race. Nvidia and SoftBank are also making significant moves in smart robotics. SoftBank just announced the acquisition of ABB’s industrial robots business for $5.4 billion, while Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has qualified the combination of AI and robotics as a “multi-billion dollar” long-term growth opportunity. China is also the world’s leading power in the robotics sector. And only in 2024, Chinese factories installed nearly 300,000 industrial robotsa figure higher than the rest of the world combined. The Qwen factor. The choice to place this team within Qwen makes all the sense in the world. Seven models of the Qwen series are currently listed in the top 10 Hugging Facewith the multimodal model Qwen3-Omni occupying first place. This strength in AI provides the company with a solid foundation to develop advanced robotic applications based on the journey they already have with Qwen.

Qualcomm Buy Arduino. It is a striking commitment to the future of the Hardware Open Source

by

In a special event held today, Qualcomm has announced the acquisition of Arduino. Although the financial terms of the agreement have not been revealed, those responsible for both companies have made it clear that Arduino will continue to operate independently. We are facing one Singular Qualcomm Bet For Open Source philosophy that they have always defended in Arduino, both in the development of their hardware solutions and that of their software. Careful: It is not the only movement that Qualcomm has made In this sense in recent years. Not only that: although with this Qualcomm agreement it becomes a logical option to offer some of its chips in the future catalog of Arduino solutions, those responsible for this firm have clarified in an online meeting with journalists that this will not change its way of designing their solutions. Thus, they will continue to opt for chips from other manufacturers as they have always done to raise the hardware solutions that best fit their objectives. For Arduino this is a absolute trust vote in his project and philosophy. Qualcomm gives diversification and a gateway to the community of developers, enthusiasts in this segment and that industrial electronics market that can help diversify your business. Arduino, more and more “pro” This agreement also reinforces a increasingly professional orientation and industrial of Arduino’s solutions, a transition that has been in progress for some years and that from the business point of view seemed inevitable. Arduino was born as an academic project and very oriented to electronics enthusiasts. Soon became Referent of the Maker Movement: Limited but easy but easy to use microcontrollers were used, which allowed a large community of developers to adopt its open approach to popularize and boost the development of the development of the development of the development of the development of the developers. Open Source electronics. Little by little, the project was growing and raising its leap to industrial applications. Of its application for rapid prototype creation was passed to the development of 32 -bit chips plates with greater processing and memory capacity that gave maneuver for more ambitious uses. There began to popular models for IoT and connectivity since 2016 began to strengthen the development of models with industrial applications. Own Arduino launched the Arduino Porta family as part of that new “Arduino Pro” division aimed at industrial automation solutions. These new solutions have not made the original spirit disappear: the solutions for the communities of electronic fans continue to renew, and in fact we have with us a first fruit of that acquisition of Arduino by Qualcomm. Arduino one Q: a full -fledged minipc The announcement of this operation has coincided with the launch of a new plaque they have called Arduino one q. We are facing a singular product that represents an important qualitative leap in the Arduino family. And it does it above all because the new Arduino plaque is based on a striking combo. On the one hand, the microcontroller (MCU) STM32U585. On the other, the microprocessor (MPU) Qualcomm Dragonwing QRV2210. This microprocessor that has A CPU Quad-Core with Cortex-A53 nuclei Up to 2.0 GHz, 2/4 GB of RAM, 512 kB of L2 cache, but also an Adreno 702 to 845 MHz monitors and audio devices. This plate allows for example to develop and work with AI applications, making a camera connected to this plate can be used for image and people recognition. To develop all this type of customs solutions It has its appa specifically oriented development environment to create applications in a simple way for these plates. This little minipc is in fact just that: a team that can operate in a totally autonomous way. Although we can use the Arduino one that connected to a laptop or desktop PC to work with this plate, also We can use it as if it were a PC itself. Just connect it to a monitor, keyboard and mouse to interact with your Debian Operating System and with Lab app to develop applications directly in this minipc. We are thus facing a product that makes a remarkable leap in benefits and also maintains the same original principles: both hardware —esquemas and design – and software —app Lab, Cli, Bricks have a GPL3 and MPL license – continue to be Published with Open Source licenses. Qualcomm may have bought Arduino, but the essence of this project that democratized the electronics next to Raspberry and others seems to remain intact.

The new King of the AI ​​Open Source is Alibaba. And its strategy is simple: to be tired

by

Alibaba qwen3 -omni has become the new jewel of the AI ​​Open Source segment. This model, launched last week by the Chinese giant, manages to compete in various benchmarks with some of the best models of OpenAi or Google. But the important thing is not so much as the fact that it alibba Not stop taking AI models at a frantic pace and almost strenuous. QWEN models succeed. The QWEN3-OMNI-30B-A3B-INSTRUCT model is one of the variants of the QWEN3-OMNI family newly launched by Alibaba. This version has become the most popular model in the Ranking of available models in Hugging Face. Since it appeared there, almost 100,000 times has been downloaded, but it is not alone. The new QWEN3-Max-Thinking manages to match or overcome models such as Grok 4 or GPT-5 Pro. They do not stop launching models. As they point out In SCMPto date Alibaba has published more than 300 Open Source models that have served for other developers and companies to launch their own. In fact, it is estimated that there are more than 170,000 derived models, which seems to have managed to have Alibaba right now the world’s largest ecosystem. The data were shared in The APSARA conference Organized by Alibaba Cloud in Hangzhou last week. Some recent examples of that frantic rhythm: Alibaba Copa the ranking. Although they were released in April, the QWEN3 models have not stopped renewing in recent months with new capacities in the generation of text, images, audio and even video. The improvements in multimodal behavior have helped create this new “OMNI” family – which precisely handles all kinds of entrances and exits – and with it with it returns that yield They even rival with the best proprietary models of firms such as Google and Openai. Models for all tastes. If one looks That rankingfive of the first 10 models are from Alibaba. Tencent has two others, IBM Granite surprises in fourth position and also We have Deepseek-V3.1-terminus Already a voice text model called VoxCPM. Source: The Atom Project. Llama, missing. Meanwhile, the traditional dominator of said scope, The Meta Llama Modelis totally missing from the first positions of this ranking and appears in position 41. OpenAI and its GPT-Oss-20b model It is also quite displaced (position 30). The responsible for The Atom (American Truly Open Models) Project recently revealed A study in which they highlighted how accumulated discharges of Open Source models already come from Chinese models than US models. Llama was the most downloaded open model until recently. Now that position is occupied by the Models of the Qwen family of Alibaba. Source: The Atom Project. Be careful, downloads are something else. It must be said that the ranking focuses on “trending” models, that is, those whose recent popularity is high. The Openai model has in fact downloaded 6.71 million times, while Alibaba’s most downloaded model is QWEN3-Next-80B-A3B-Instruct, with 2.63 million downloads. Llama-3.1-8b-Instruct surpasses both (for now) with 7.18 million. In The Atom Project, yes, they point out that the accumulated discharges of the different flame variants have just fell below those of the Qwen variants. The reason is simple. Alibaba does not stop getting more and more models. Alibaba’s strategy has been overwhelming, and since in April it launched the first QWEN3 models, it has not gone from maintaining a frantic pace of launching of improved and derived versions such as QWEN3-Next, QWEN3-OMNI or QWEN3-MAX, in addition to specific models for generation of images as qwen-image-editordirect competitor of the famous Nano Banana, from Google. In Xataka | There are many “internal” races within the great AI race. And the Open Source is winning Alibaba

Alibaba is becoming the Ai Open Source sponator. Your family of Qwen models is putting the market above

by

The Chinese giant Alibaba has launched Officially QWEN3-OMNI, an open source artificial intelligence model that can process text, images, audio and video simultaneously. In fact, it is the first model that unifies these four modalities natively and does it completely free, something that none of its US competitors offers. Bet on the Free Code. While Openai and Google charge for using their most advanced multimodal models, Alibaba gives theirs under Apache 2.0 license. This means that any company can download it, modify it and use it commercially without any cost. This open source approach It is the trend that multiple Asian giants are adopting to cause global interest in their language models and that multiple developers around the world want to contribute to their evolution. It is part of China’s strategy to remain relevant in the AI ​​career. Image: Alibaba What can you do exactly. As points The company, QWEN3-OMNI simultaneously processes text in 119 languages, recognizes voice in 19 languages ​​and can speak in 10 different languages. Its “thinker-speaker” architecture separates the reasoning of the audio generation, promising real-time responses with latencies of just 234 milliseconds for audio and 547 milliseconds for video. Benchmarks. In 36 reference tests, QWEN3-OMNI exceeds open source models in 32 of them and establishes new general records in 22. In advanced mathematics (Aime25) obtains 65 points compared to 26.7 of GPT-4O. In writing tasks (Writingbench) 82.6 points, exceeding 75.5 GPT-4O points. While it is true that it is not being compared to Openai’s most avant-garde model to date (GPT-5), it is a real achievement what giants like Alibaba are doing with their free and open source models. Strategy. Alibaba is running a risky but intelligent play: democratize the multimodal AI to gain market share. “This could bring some changes to the panorama of the OMNI open source models,” explained The Qwen team. The announcement occurs just when Nvidia announces Investments of 100,000 million dollars in data centers for OpenAI, while Alibaba and the rest of Asian giants prefer to dispute technological leadership in AI from another angle. What does it mean. Great American technology have opted for proprietary models that generate direct income. Alibaba wants to change the rules by giving instant access to its technology to millions of developers. Even if they offer it for free, they are building an ecosystem that gives them competitive advantage In the long term. And now what. China is not the only one that launches free code models. OpenAi has GPT-Oss And Google has Gemma. Two options that developers have on hand to deploy their ideas, modify them, contribute to their evolution and others, although they are not the main approach of both companies. In the case of Alibaba models, Deepseek either Tencentthe idea does revolve around the open source, and the pulse does not tremble when offering their most powerful models for free (despite the fact that some more complete and specific options are reserved for special agreements). QWEN models A great reputation have been carved Throughout these last years, and this new evolution in his family marks a new ribbon for the rest of the companies, not only in efficiency, but in the deployment of this business model.

Baidu has just launched a new AI model that competes with the best. The surprise: it is not Open Source

by

Baidu has presented Ernie X1.1, a new generative model that represents a promising qualitative leap and that seems to compete from you to you with their rivals. That is not so surprising. What it is is that we are facing a model that goes against the Chinese trend: it is closed. Why is it important. Being “the Chinese Google” worked very well for Baidu for more than two decades, but in recent times this Chinese technological giant is trying to Do not lose commits in the AI ​​race. His last movement goes in that direction: Ernie X1.1 has just presented, the latest version of a reasoning model that earns whole. The model can be easily tested in the Official Chatbot Website (You have to display the option to use the Ernie X1.1 model if you are not selected). The new Ernie X1.1 competes from you to you with Depseek-R1, Gemini-2.5 Pro and even GPT-5 in various benchmarks Promising. The internal tests published by BAIDU reveal that their new reasoning model offers “significant advances” in terms of precision of the answers (34.8% better than Ernie X1), instructions monitoring (12.5% ​​better) and agricultural capacities (9.6% better). Not only that: its performance in Benchmarks exceeds Desepseek R1-0528, the reference AI model for months in China. It is also able to compete in performance with GPT-5 and Gemini 2.5 Pro, two of the most advanced models today. But closed. While the trend in China is to offer open models in which at least the weights with which these models have trained, Baidu has decided that at the moment Ernie X1.1 will be closed. The model has been offered to corporate clients already developers through the Baidu cloud platform, called Qianfan (via API), in addition to its aforementioned availability in Ernie.baidu.com. Meanwhile, other models open. What it has done is to open the Ernie-4.5-21B-A3B-Thinking model, a version that is somewhat less capable but that has reasoning capacity and that supports a context window of 128,000 tokens. This model uses a MOE (Mixture of Experts) architecture with 21,000 million total parameters although only 3,000 million of them are active to make it more efficient. The model is for example available Through Hugging Face. An AI that accompanies the elderly. As they point out In SCMPduring the presentation of this wang haifeng model, Cto de Baidu, advertisement The launch of an AI agent destined to accompany the elderly. The objective is to help the more than 310 million Chinese who are over 60 years offering information that for example can help them with their health status and also allows us to discern whether the information they find on the Internet can be harmful to them. Counting Erres. In Xataka we have been able to use Ernie X1.1 for a few hours and the first impressions are very positive. The reasoning model is especially careful when answering, and for example when asking “how many” R “does the phrase ‘the San Roque dog has no tail because Ramón Ramírez has stolen it’?” The model correctly replied that 9, when Ernie 4.5, also available on that website, replied quickly but badly: 8. We also ask you to create a table with the 10 countries that had won the most football, and once again The answer It was perfect, something we had not seen in almost any previous model. In other interactions – for example, when creating and analyzing Python code – the performance was also remarkable. In the absence of trying it in depth, these small tests point to a really remarkable behavior of the model. But rivals squeeze. We are therefore before a striking step by Baidu, both for that promising performance and for the fact that the company has given up not opening it for the moment. In front of Ernie X1.1, yes, the competition is fierce. Both QWen3-Max-Preview (Alibaba) and Kimi-K2-0905 (MoNshot) have achieved enter the list Of the 10 most powerful models on the market According to LMarena. There for those who lead are Gemini-2.5 Pro, Claude Opus 4.1, O3 and GPT-5-High, but the advance of these Chinese models is remarkable. It remains to be seen if Ernie X1.1 will also sneak that list. In Xataka | Deepseek has given the starting gun in the race for a cheaper AI. And China starts with advantage

There is a renewable energy source that works 24 hours a day, and Japan has opted for it: osmotics

by

Omnipresent wind and solar energies have the same problem: intermittency. The wind does not always blow and the sun does not always shine. This dependence on weather conditions It forces us to look for storage solutions OA depend on a 24/7 available source to have a constant supply. But what if that other source was also renewable energy? Japan bets on osmotics. In August, the Japanese city of Fukuoka launched the First osmotic energy center in the country. It is just the second installation of this type in the world and represents more than a pilot test for a technology that promises to revolutionize the energy mix. “I hope it extends not only in Japan, but throughout the world,” said Akihiko Tanioka, an expert in the field of the Tokyo Science Institute. The plant will generate about 880,000 kilowatts-Hora a year to feed part of the desalination plant that supplies fresh water to the city. Although it may seem like a modest figure, equivalent to the consumption of about 220 Japanese homes, its true value is that it works continuously. It is not affected by the weather or time of day, and does not emit carbon dioxide. The power to mix fresh and salted water. Osmotics is a new generation renewable energy based on A natural phenomenon that we all study at the institute: osmosis. When two solutions with different salt concentration are separated by a semipermeable membrane (which lets the water pass, but not the salt), the water of the less concentrated solution flows naturally towards the most concentrated to try to balance the mixture. Fukuoka’s plant places fresh water (treated wastewater) on one side of the membrane, and salt water (sea water) to the other. Fresh water crosses the membrane to the salt water side, increasing volume and pressure on that side. The conression is used to move a turbine that, connected to a generator, produces electricity. Therefore, this renewable source is also known as saline gradient energy or “blue energy”. From the initial promises to the first problems. This technology is not exactly new. Already in 2017, in Xataka we echoed its enormous potential: The studies suggested that it could generate up to 40% of the world energy demand if it would be used in the mouths of all rivers. The challenge was the efficiency of the membranes and the cost of the facilities. The first systems, such as delayed pressure osmosis, suffered bioincructing problems: bacteria blocked membranes, drastically reducing their effectiveness. Other systems, such as “inverse electrodialysis”, were more durable but generated very little energy. The Fukuoka plant, like the first in the world inaugurated in Denmark in 2023 by the Saltpower company, demonstrates that progress in membrane technology is allowing to overcome these obstacles. Nanotechnological membranes. In France, the company Sweetch Energy has developed Much more efficient nanometric size membranes, capable of generating between 20 and 30 watts per square meter. In comparison, the most advanced systems to date generate 12.6 watts. The company seeks to install its first real -scale generator, Osmorhône 1, at the mouth of the Rhone River. The potential of this unique river would reach 500 MW, equivalent to mid -nuclear reactor capable of supplying two million people. And it would be just the beginning. All deltas and estuaries in the world release 30,000 energy from each year, a figure similar to world demand of electricity. Salina bachata in Fukuoka. In addition to the friction of the membranes, the osmotics also loses energy in water pumping. But, as he explains The Guardianthe new Fukuoka plant uses the concentrated brine that remains of the desalination process to increase the salinity difference and, thus, the energy potential available. The inauguration of the Japanese plant and the advances of companies such as Sweetch Energy mark a turning point for the osmotics. They are the first steps to stop being a laboratory promise and become an industrial reality. In a clean, permanent energy, which does not depend on the climate and that can be integrated into existing infrastructures such as ports, desalination makers or locks. Japan has made its bet: the mixture of fresh and salted water will be part of its energy mix.

Send files among all my devices was a roll. Then I found this free application, Open Source and Multiplatform

by

Airdrop and Quick Share (before Nearby Share) They are two sensational inventions, but they have a problem: they are not multiplatform. Airdrop only works in the Apple and Quick Share ecosystem alone in Android and Windows, so we have a problem if we mix devices. If you have an Android Mac and mobile, sending files from each other is a pain. If you have an iPhone and a Windows or Linux PC, the same. The solution? How could it be otherwise, an application Open Sourcefree, multiplatform and that works at one thousand wonders. My case. I have a Windows computer, an Android mobile and an iPad. I use the iPad to read and design, the mobile for all the things of day to day (but mainly take photos) and the PC for everything else. One can imagine how complex the file sharing is. To date, the simplest solution I had found were Telegram saved messagesbut it did not seem to me the most efficient way to send files, especially heavy, from one device to another, particularly from and from the iPad to others. LESS Airdrop. Whoever has an iPhone and a Mac will know the comfortable and above all, how fast is it sending any file through Airdrop: you share it, the devices are among themselves and wait a few seconds.

Nvidia says that China has the best open source AI in the world. These praises have a very clear intention

by

Jensen Huang, the co -founder and general director of Nvidia, is in China. At the end of last week He met with Donald Trump with the purpose of defending the interests of his company before an administration that has drastically restricted your business In the country led by Xi Jinping. During the last fiscal year, which expired on January 26, 2025, China represented approximately 13% of total income of Nvidia with a figure of about 17,000 million dollars. In practice, this Asian nation is the third best client of this company only behind the US and Taiwan. The decisions made by Jensen Huang during the last months clearly reflect that he is determined to defend your presence in this market. And he is doing it. A few hours ago he has made a statement during his visit to the International Exhibition of the China Supply Chain, in Beijing, which is worth not overlooking. Jensen Huang does not give stitch without thread “The models of artificial intelligence (AI) Open source of Deepseek, Qwen and Kimi are the best reasoning models in the world today. They are very advanced. ” Huang has pronounced These words during a talk with Wang Jian, the founder of Alibaba Cloud, the AI and cloud computing unit of this gigantic Chinese company. And this statement has not arrived at any time. Whether or not, objectively, the three models mentioned by this Executive are very competitive, as the reports of Demodazzle either Mediumamong others. The really interesting thing is that Jensen Huang has praised these Chinese models at a very delicate time for Nvidia. At a time when You need to strengthen your complicity with Chinese companies to which they have been selling their GPU for several years. Last week Jensen Huang got a promise from Donald Trump: Nvidia can sell again Your H20 GPU To his Chinese clients very soon. The reception that this chip initially received was very good even though its capacities are clearly lower than those of the other proposals for this company. Jensen Huang has praised these Chinese models at a very delicate time for Nvidia. At a time when you need to strengthen your complicity In fact, initially the Department of Commerce allowed its sale in China because this integrated circuit met the restrictions it had imposed. And despite its limitations Their sales grew by 50% quarter to quarter since it arrived in this market in mid -2024. Everything was complicated for Nvidia in the middle of last April. And is that the US Department of Commerce imposed new restrictions To the export of the H20 GPU, which in practice caused this chip to stop reaching the Chinese clients of this company. During the next few weeks this GPU will come back to the facilities of Tencent, Alibaba or Bytedance, among other Chinese companies, but Nvidia will have it more difficult than ever. And is that Huawei, his main Chinese competitor, is being reinforced with great intensity. Only one day after the US Department of Commerce formalized its latest sanctions He presented his GPU Ascend 920a chip for AI that is clearly intended to occupy in the Chinese market the gaps left by the NVIDIA H20 GPU. The GPU Ascend 920 will begin to be manufactured on a large scale during the second half of 2025 using 6 Nm integration technology that have presumably developed side with Huawei elbow and SMIC. The characteristics of this lithographic node have not yet been officially confirmed, but it will probably use the technique known as Multiple patterningwhich is the same one that SMIC is using 7 Nm chips. In addition, the GPU Ascend 920 will reach a 4 TB/s transfer speed for the memory subsystem thanks to the use of HBM3 chips.

Reddit has become the best human data source. AI is trying to prey them

by

Everyone wants Reddit data. And they want them why they are data humans. That is the Great value of a platform which has become the crown jewel of AI companies. They want to use that data To train their AI modelsand Reddit is tired of trying without asking for permission … and without paying. Reddit demands Anthropic. The social network, fed up with this type of behaviorhas registered a lawsuit against Anthropic, the creators of Claude, so consider a contract violation and for participating in “illicit and unfair commercial acts” when using the platform and data of the social media company without authorization. Or what is the same: for stealing the data for your AI. Blunt criticism. In The demand Reddit’s legal managers begin strong: “Anthropic is an artificial intelligence company of late flourishing that proclaims the white gentleman of the artificial intelligence industry. It’s anything but that.” According to Reddit, Anthropic shows a public face in which he presumes his respect for the law and doing things legitimately, and another private “that ignores any rule that interferes with his attempts to fill his pockets even more.” Human data treasure. Reddit has become In a valuable source of human information. If someone looks for answers, experiences and opinions in raw, this is the platform that has ended up becoming an absolute reference. In Reddit they know it. His legal manager, Ben Lee, explained in The Verge the following: “Reddit’s humanity has a unique value in a world flattened by AI. Now more than ever, people seek authentic conversations between humans. Reddit houses almost 20 years of rich and human debates about practically all imaginable topics. These conversations do not occur anywhere else and are fundamental to train linguistic models such as Claude.” Reddit began to protect himself very soon. Knowing that his “human data” were that great treasure with which to make box, Reddit began to make movements for take advantage of that data very soon. A few months after the launch of ChatgPT, it appeared that He made his APIas shortly before I had done Elon Musk with X/Twitter. He controversial movement It was clearly aimed at protecting the platform from those birds of prey in which IA companies had become. Then the demands would begin. If you want my data, pay. Reddit’s policy has been clear from the beginning, and there have been companies that have assumed the message. Google was one of the first to reach an agreement with Reddit and paid 60 million dollars to the platform To train your AI models with that data. OpenAi ended up doing the samealthough the amount that was paid to Reddit has never been revealed. Anthropic Discrepa. An Email from Anthropic to CNBC reveals that “we disagree with Reddit’s complaints and we will defend ourselves vigorously.” Interestingly, Anthropic herself has blocked the access of her Claude model to Windsurf, the newly acquired programming startup by Openai. One of its co -founders He affirmed that “it would be rare for us to sell (the API of) Claude a OpenAi.” It is a reasonable argument – and debatable – but it does not seem to be equally logic in the case of Reddit. But it already has other pending demands. That statement contrasts with two other demands that Anthropic has received in the last two years. Last August, three authors sued it in a Federal Court in California for having “built a billionaire business stealing hundreds of thousands of copyright“Before, in October 2023, Universal Music also sued her in Tennessee for a” systematic and generalized violation of the copyright of the lyrics of his songs. “The record giant He lost that battleHowever, which meant a disturbing victory for the technological ones. Internet looting continues. It is another case of that Absolute looting that AI companies are carrying out on the Internet. None of them savealthough of course there are flagrant cases such as perplexity or the recent scandal of Goal downloading books from books with copyright to train their models. If there are data that can be used to improve the quality of these models, companies try to get them, and it is just what happens with Reddit. The IAS do not want copyright. This whole process is part of a worrying phenomenon: there is still not punishment for all these companies despite being violating copyright. Openai already asked for a white letter to operate In that field, but other companies They joined that unusual proposal to eradicate copyright lawsat least for their AI models. The argument of “fair use” remains its great shield in front of these demands, but the reality is that the months go by, we insist, there is still no consequences for this flagrant robbery of the internet content.
