The O1-PRO model of Chatgpt Pro is 140 times more expensive than the Chatgpt O3-mini. What is not clear is that it is much better

by

Paying $ 20 per month for accessing Chatgpt Plus did not seem too serious. The thing began to get interesting when Openai launched its chatgpt pro subscription at 200 dollars a month. But now there is an even more expensive version of these models, and this again shows that we are at the beginning of a worrying slope: that of AI prices. What happened. OpenAI He has just announced That O1-Pro, the most powerful version of its reasoning model, is now available through its API. Until now it was only possible to enjoy it in a limited way through the subscription to Chatgpt Pro, but now the developers can also create services with it. The striking is not really that the company offers this version, but the price at which it is available. 140 times more expensive than O3-mini. As we said, O1-Pro is only limited to Chatgpt Pro users. If someone wants to use it intensively through the API, prices They are really high: O3-mini O1 O1-PRO Price for 1m tokens input (dollars) 1.10 15 150 Price for 1m tokens output (dollars) 4.40 60 600 As can be seen, O1-Pro is 10 times more expensive than O1, and about 135 times more expensive than O3-mini, which is the version of the reasoning model that for example we can use (limitedly) in the free version of Chatgpt. Gold Price Tokens. That cost imposes an important barrier for those who want to use this AI model for projects in which we introduce a lot of text and want to obtain a lot of text. For example, if we want to analyze a lot of documents and We saturate The input context window (200,000 tokens) and the output (100,000 tokens), we will have a cost of $ 90 … for a single question and an answer (an API request). But is it really so good? Preliminary O1-Pro impressions in Chatgpt Pro They were not especially striking according to whom They have tried italso They have protested for one falling quality. According to Openai O1-PRO, it offers “responses that are better consistently”, and highlight that it is an O1 version that uses more calculation power to “think more and offer even better responses to the most complex problems.” For asking not to be. IA companies are losing a money training their models, but they hope to recover it with a simple technique: increasingly faces. Data leaked in The Information also pointed out how Openai were already raising how an AI agent could replace a “human doctorate” to investigate, the cost would be $ 20,000 per month. They seem faces, but maybe they don’t. Of course, the price of these subscriptions and these accesses to the API may seem expensive, but they can also be a true bargain. What matters here is the profitability that we can get out of these models of AI: if they help us generate many more income, we will end up having “robotic employees” who work 24 hours a day, seven days a week and also do so with a productivity and quality of theoretically extraordinary work. But of course, we will first have to use them like this … and ensure that these results are effectively valid, something that for now does not seem so clear. In Xataka | AI agents are promising. But as in Tesla’s FSD, you better not take your hands from the steering wheel

Amazon was about to buy the noise company for 1.4 billion dollars. Today is worth seven times less

by

People don’t say they have vacuum robots. He says he has Robs. It is something special for a company that users replace the common name by their own name. The metonymic designation – kleenex by paper handker Robs They have certainly succeeded. Despite this, the company that creates them is going through a very complicated moment. Irobot, in trouble. The firm that designs and manufactures Roomba vacuum robots recently presented Your financial resultsand he did it with a pessimistic tone. Those responsible warned that they have “substantial doubts” that they can follow operations. Less income. In the results of the last quarter of 2024, he especially highlighted the 44% drop in income compared to the same period of the previous year. According to those responsible for the company, one of the reasons were “the competitive challenges facing the company.” Complex options. In fact, they explained that they have begun to analyze in detail their possible strategic movements to get out of this situation. One of them is refinancing their debt. The other, find a buyer, indicate In Bloomberg. Amazon already raised Irobot. Curiously, the company that manufactures these devices could be acquired by Amazon in the past. The company now led by Andy Jassy Theoretically came to buy itbut the European Union threatened Block the agreement And Amazon ended up backing down, with which this process never closed. A shadow of what it was. When Amazon was going to acquire Irobot, the assessment of the Roomba was 1.4 billion dollars. Its current market value is only 200 million dollars, seven times less. Pending debt. The investment firm Carlyle Group INC provided Irobot a loan of 200 million dollars in 2023. At that time the accounts did not have left, and that money allowed Irobot to have some liquidity while the acquisition of Amazon was managed. Not closing the operation, Carlyle can now collect terrible interests for Irobot: 9%. Too much competition. Roomba vacuums are still very well valued, but in recent years the competition has shown not wanting to be left behind. Robot vacuum cleaners has been rapidly used by other brands that have managed to equate in benefits, and in Irobot that brutal competition has noticed much.

Years pass and television continues to mark the times to Netflix. Montoya’s “signing” is the best example

by

The success of the latest edition of ‘The island of temptations’ is difficult to quantify. Already Not only is it figuresfigures that have achieved tame the two great current titans of the AccessBroncano and Motos: The impact between the public has gone much further, turning Montoya into a international scope meme and that transcends languages. The last to surrender: Netflix. Montoya, please. In these same terms the Netflix original and officers In social networks to promote ‘Temptation Island’, a reality which has eight seasons and that will arrive on March 12 to Netflix, after passing through US chains such as Fox and use Network. To promote it, Montoya has launched all its ICT repertoire: shout “no, please”, run from one place to another and kneel with arms to heaven. A very brief video of just thirty seconds but that records the international scope of the Montoya phenomenon. Montoya, the man announced. Montoya has not stopped since the phenomenon exploded in networks. In recent weeks has already participated in nine adsin almost all using their best -known colets and attitudes. Interestingly, it has not only announced trademarks such as the King’s League or Burger King, but also organizations that do not usually interest television characters, such as FP courses or waste recycling. In the height of the Stunts advertising promoted a brand of sweets Just before jumping to the sea at the Gala last Sunday of ‘Survivors’. It is not exhausted. Precisely, the presence of Montoya in ‘Survivors’ is what has made the broadcast of this last Sunday the best premiere of the program in Share Since 2020, reaching a spectacular 19.6% and leading the night strip without problems. 1,683,000 spectators followed the arrival of Montoya to the island, one more evidence that, despite the overexposure and the multiple advertising appearances of Montoya, the phenomenon has not yet been burned. The Talisman of Telecinco. Beyond the anecdote of the announcement, it is clear that Montoya has become a magnet for audiences to such an extent that Telecinco has managed to get Netflix following its wake, and not the other way around, as usual. It is not just the overwhelming personality of the Andalusian, it is also the proof that traditional linear television, so often out of conversation In social networks and tastes of the youngest viewerskeep marking the pace when it manages to house a phenomenon as powerful and international as Montoya. Reality fever. We have commented on occasion that Telecinco, after unsuccessful attempts to emerge with different formats (the failure of the Latin programof ‘Whoever falls fallsor the talent ‘Factor X’ and ‘Next Level Chef’ will mark its grill for years), it has become a producing machine realities. They have happened in their programming, without rest, ‘Big Brother Dúo’, ‘The island of temptations’ and, now, ‘Survivors’. A policy that, again, has taken good Netflix note, since it is easy to find on its grill realities of spicy tone as ‘false love’, ‘playing with fire’ or ‘love with bail’. Montoya’s shadow is being more elongated than we expected. The traditional TV rules. As much as For years An unstoppable decline of traditional TV is being perceived in front of the streamingin many ways that continues to mark rhythms and trends. Let’s not forget that, for example, one of the greatest success of prime video in Spain throughout its history is’Operation Triunfo‘, clone of the legendary talent of the linear TV. Or that, do what the platforms do with their luxurious original releases, the most seen in streaming They are still linear classics as ‘Gray’ Anatomy, ‘Family’ or ‘Law and Order’. The success of ‘the one that is coming’ in Prime Videoeven above Telecinco, it is still the proof that the situation is far from being able to define itself with blacks and blacks, with victorious and defeated.

On their way to mass implementation, Perovskita cells have taken another step: 10 times more resistant

by

Perovskita’s solar cells are known for their lightness, managing to develop Ultrafin panels with different applications, such as The candle of a ship. However, the stability of this type of cell meant a challenge for its commercial viability. Now, a group of researchers has managed to extend the useful life of a Perovskita solar cell. Short. Scientists from the University of Surrey They have developed Perovskita solar cells that, by incorporating aluminum oxide nanoparticles, improve both durability and efficiency. Thanks to this finding, cells will be more resistant for large -scale application. The problem to be solved. Here you have to make an important comparison, because the solar cells of the study are of Perovskita that are more efficient and economical than those of silicon, so it has been one of the main objectives of the researchers for their commercial implementation. However, the main challenge was that cells They suffered iodine leakscausing the structure to react chemically reducing its performance. In addition, factors such as humidity, heat and oxygen accelerate this process. The investigation. Surrey’s team, together with the United Kingdom physics laboratory and Sheffield University, He has discovered that when integrating aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al₂O₃) within the Perovskita layer, iodine can be trapped and prevent it from escaping. This simple but effective approach drastically improves the structural integrity of Perovskita’s solar cells, making them more resistant to weather conditions. The results. Solar cells containing nanoparticles maintained high performance for more than two months (1,530 hours), compared to just 160 hours of Standard Perovskita cells. In this way, the investigation has achieved an increase in the durability of ten times more. The incorporation of these nanoparticles has helped create a more uniform Perovskita structure, which has reduced the defects of the material such as moisture and has improved electrical conductivity. Iodine is not always bad. Unlike this study, iodine can be the result of a solution if the right approach is sought. A study group from the University of Beijing has achieved Integrate iodine into a Perovskita structure. In this approach it has stabilized the material and has avoided the degradation that has historically limited its durability. A great future. In 2009, Perovskita’s solar cells only converted 3% of solar energy into electricity, wasting the remaining 97%. However, Thanks to recent advancesits efficiency has exceeded 25%, increasingly bringing them closer to generalized commercial adoption. This progress highlights the great potential of technology, and with more studies, it is expected to continue increasing, approaching even higher figures and opening new opportunities for solar energy.

Tokyo has four times more population than Madrid and traffic jams are non -existent. The secret is called Shako Shomeishho

by

Spain has an extension of 506,030 square kilometers And they live 48.35 million people. Japan has an area of 377,974 square kilometers where 124.5 million people live. In the city of Madrid it is calculated that they live 3.23 million peoplewhile in Tokyo a total of 14.22 million people. The difference is even more striking if we take into account population density. In Madrid they live 5,265.91 hab./km², while Tokyo rises to 6. 501.58 hab./km². Which of the two cities is hell to drive? If you throw one eye to photographs of Japanese citiesyou will have realized that there are a lot, many people walking and in public transport. But how many cars do you see on the street? The answer is simple: very few. If we attend to the 2020 dataSpain had in use 29,875,896 million cars, while in Japan 76,702,773 cars were counted. How can it be that a country with a much lower surface and that walks to triple our population Don’t be a car hell If you have a car density per person very similar to ours (629 cars/1,000 inhabitants for Spain for the 609 cars/1000 inhabitants for Japan)? They have achieved, of course, limiting to the force the number of cars that can be possessed in the big cities where, by logic, a greater number of cars should accumulate. As? The secret is Shako Shomeishho Although the density of car per inhabitant is very similar to the Spanish, the truth is that it collapses if we focus on large cities. In Japan it is estimated that each home has 1.06 cars of the total. That figure collapses to the 0.32 vehicles per household In Tokyo. The great Japanese city is, in fact, the rich city where the car is used. According to Deloitteonly 12% of the daily journeys in Tokyo are carried out by car, while 17% are bicycle. Figures that are not understood without two express prohibitions: that of parking on the street and buying a car … without space to park it. And a little luck. Andre Sorensen, professor of urban planning at the University of Toronto, says that part of Tokyo’s success to get this low vehicle density begins by a chance. At the beginning of the 20th centuryjust 15% of the Japanese lived in cities. That figure is now 91%. Tokyo (above) and Rotterdam (below) two examples of cities rebuilt after World War II. Source: Google Maps The explosion came with the end of World War II. The cities were razed and the growth in Tokyo was so chaotic that the buildings began to grow without control, some glued to others. You can compare with Google Maps photographs how Tokyo grew, completely uncontrolled with countless tiny plots, and how Rotterdam grew, with a planning studied to combine green areas in residential areas. Sorensen explains that this population explosion caused the flowering of narrow streets that hindered the passage and storage of the vehicles themselves. The wave of workers to the cities forced the institutions They will turn off with public transport And in 1957 the first measure was taken to regulate the use of the car in cities. And, with rebound, a good reason to discourage its use. Since then a law is applied that prevents the car on the street. What is usual in any European city, in Japan it is strictly prohibited. The fine is also no nonsense. They apply sanctions of up to 200,000 yen for leaving the car irregularly parked what is a fine of more than 1,200 euros. Just a few years later, in 1962 the Shako Shomeishho. This name refers to the certificate that the buyer of a car has to present when acquiring the vehicle. With him it is guaranteed that this person has a place to park the car. That is, it has a parking space to park the car every night. If you don’t have a garage, you will be forbidden to buy a car. The Kei Cars, like this Daihatsu Copen, do not need to have a parking certificate except in Tokyo and Osaka This Shako Shomeisho does not apply to Kei Carsthe small Japanese cars that measure less than 3.4 meters in length, 1.48 meters wide and 2.0 meters high and with motors of less than 660 cc that cannot exceed the 64 hp of power. Of course, in the larger cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, the obligation to have the garage certificate to get a vehicle is also applied. The Shako Shomeishho has triggered the price of the land of parking lots. In fact, the expensive thing is not to buy a car, the expensive thing is to get the possibility of buying a car. Is Something similar to what happens in Singapore With a subtle difference: there are spaces available to park cars in Tokyo that are sold for more than one million euros and in the ads themselves the yield that can be taken out allowing the rental of vehicles per hour is reflected. And you have to keep in mind that Not all parking lots are valid. The garage to save the car must be less than two kilometers from the usual residence and to get the certificate, it must be able to corroborate this with plans or even require the entry and exit measures of the garage. If the car is too large, the buyer can have problems for the authorities to approve the certificate and have nowhere to park … or rent it. The solution can go through rent the garages But there are neighborhoods where monthly rentals can easily go above 500 euros (about 77,000 yen). In some very specific places in the most expensive neighborhoods, the spaces They are quoted with rents above 700 euros (110,000 yen). How could it be otherwise, the houses for sale are offered with triggered prices when the “central” combiance and “parking space” shake hands. With offers that exceed 3.5 million euros (550 million yen) … Read more

four times faster than in the 80s

by

2023 and 2024 were extremely warm years globally. Atmospheric temperatures beat records and exceeded the limits self -imposed by the international community in global warming. This is only part of the story. Climate acceleration. Because the oceans are not far behind in this rise in temperatures. According to a new study, the oceans are not only heating, but they heat up at a much greater pace What years ago. If during the 1980s the average surface temperature of the ocean surface was 0.6º Celsius per decade, the current rhythm reaches 0.27º per decade. This represents a 350% increase in the last 35 years. “If the oceans were a water bath, then in the 80s, the hot water tap would release water slowly, heating the water only a fraction of one degree every decade. But now the hot water tap works much faster and heating has accelerated. The way to reduce this heating is closing the tap, reducing carbon emissions and addressing zero-8, explained in a press release Chris Merchant, who led the elaboration of the study. Balance issue. According to Explain the team Responsible for the study, the problem can be interpreted as a lack of energy balance: solar energy captured by Earth is greater than that which leaves our planet to the outer space. Therefore, the system is progressively heated. There are different factors that influence this accumulation of energy, such as the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere or a reduction in the amount of sunlight that our planet reflects abroad. Factor interaction. Within the system itself, we can also observe the interaction of various phenomena. The marine surface temperature affects, for example at the atmospheric temperature and that is why, at least in part responsible for the increase in global temperatures observed in the last two years. For example, we know that the child, a phenomenon associated with the surface temperature in a Pacific Ocean strip but with global weather repercussions. The child is a periodic phenomenon so we can break its impact on other phenomena. Comparing The last period (marked by the El Niño phenomenon) with the previous cycle, and could estimate that 44% of the increase in global temperature was attributable to this acceleration in the accumulation of heat by the ocean. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Environmental Research Letters. Also risk on the mainland. The surface temperature of the sea has repercussions on the weather and the recurrence of extreme phenomena. The case of hurricanes is paradigmatic. The thermal energy of the ocean is the “fuel” of these phenomena, so their frequency and force depend in large part on the heat on the marine surface. Closer, the impact of the last Dana was also associated with climate change. In this case, the heat of the marine surface and the adjoining air generate a greater accumulation of moisture in the air and open the road to a greater thermal contrast that in turn generates storms of greater magnitude.
