OpenAI wants to eat Microsoft’s toast with its own GitHub

by

The relationship between OpenAI and Microsoft has gone through better times. And when their technological alliance began, it was one of the first examples that indicated to us that all this AI was going to last for a long time. And here we find ourselves, in a much more delicate and powerful panorama in equal measure. However, now this alliance is going through one of its most tense moments, and the culprit has names and surnames: OpenAI would be developing its own code hosting platform, rivaling GitHub, which belongs to Microsoft. We tell you all the details. Why does this matter? GitHub is one of Microsoft’s crown jewels in the technology ecosystem. If OpenAI continues with this project, it would be attacking one of the most strategic businesses of its main partner and investor, the same company that has injected billions of dollars in its growth since 2019. And over the last two years, their relationship has gone from being symbiotic to being, on certain fronts, directly competitive. What exactly happened. According to account The Information, several OpenAI engineers would have been fed up with the constant GitHub service outages in recent months. So they decided to consider building their own alternative. As the medium shares, the project is still in the initial phase, so it could take months to see the light (if it ever does), but the medium assures that the possibility of selling it as a product to OpenAI clients is already being considered. At the moment no company has confirmed or denied it. Renegotiations. The crazy idea of ​​​​building your own GitHub arrives in full renegotiation of the terms of that same alliance that they forged a few years ago, a process that, according to the Wall Street Journalhas become extremely tense. As the media reports, OpenAI wants to reduce dependence on Microsoft in computing and distribution, and is also trying close the acquisition of Windsurfthe AI ​​startup from which Google also got involved to keep a good part of the talent. The problem: Microsoft has access to all of OpenAI’s intellectual property under the current agreement, and OpenAI doesn’t want that to include the purchase of Windsurf. Microsoft, for its part, offers its own AI programming tool, GitHub Copilotwhich competes directly with what OpenAI is trying to build. Media fight. According to the WSJseveral OpenAI executives have gone so far as to internally debate what they describe as a “nuclear option”: publicly accusing Microsoft of anti-competitive behavior and seeking a federal regulatory review of the contract. That is, take the fight to the legal and media arena. That this possibility is on the table says a lot about the level to which the conflict has reached. Both companies have also been fighting for some time over the percentage of participation that Microsoft would have in the new for-profit entity which OpenAI wants to become. OpenAI has until the end of the year to complete that transformation or lose $20 billion in funding it had committed to. How we got here. Microsoft first invested in OpenAI in 2019 with 1 billion dollars. In exchange, it gained the exclusive right to sell OpenAI’s tools through its Azure cloud and preferential access to its technology. For years, it was a sweetheart deal for the two: Microsoft positioned itself as a leader in enterprise AI and OpenAI got the infrastructure and money to grow. But now the market has changed a lot, and what was a relationship of mutual dependence has become a race in which the two compete on almost the same fronts: consumer chatbots, productivity tools with AI, solutions for companies, etc. For now, both companies maintain the official speech of optimism about their ability to continue building together. But the cracks are increasingly difficult to cover. In Xataka | Aragón is becoming a Spanish data center giant thanks to Amazon. There is still a big unknown

There are a lot of people replacing the oil on ham toast with coffee and orange. And oddly enough, it makes sense.

by

“You insist on putting olive oil on our Iberian ham toast and this is like putting sugar on top of a chocolate cake.” Víctor Sanchego did not know it, but with those words was about to make thousands of people prepare the strangest breakfast we’ve seen in a long time. How come you don’t have to add oil to the ham? Sanchego’s argument is that “the fat of Iberian ham contains more than 60% oleic acid, the same component of extra virgin olive oil.” Therefore, as happens in a perfumery when we have already worn several colognes, when we mix oil and ham at the same time our taste buds become saturated. “Instead of helping it enhance the flavor, it is subtracting it,” says the ham man. The reality, of course, is more complex. The general idea is true for Iberian ham: adding oil (especially if it is an intense and complex one) blurs the flavor profile and can actually oversaturate the bite. This, however, does not happen with the rest of the hams or with the rest of the oils. It is, so to speak, a borderline case. And a well-known one, at that. The normal thing when we talk about Iberian ham, in fact, is that it is recommended to enjoy it alone or with an accompaniment that cleanses the palate, such as a piece of neutral bread. Nobody usually proposes eating a plate of ham with a glass of EVOO on the side. The striking thing about all this is not that. The striking thing is the coffee with orange zest. Because Víctor Sanchego does not propose to eat ham with white bread, nothing like that. He suggests smearing the bread in a mixture of black coffee and orange peel, toasting it and, now, putting the Iberian ham on top. It’s a strange thing, yes; but we cannot define it as madness either. We said before that the ideal thing is to eat Iberian ham with something that ‘cleanses the palate’ and Sanchego’s idea goes directly there: coffee, due to its dry and intense qualities, allows us to enhance the organoleptic properties of our ham. Is it the most interesting decision? Well, the truth is that I couldn’t say. On a theoretical level, there could be dozens of similar combinations that fit better with our usual organoleptic repertoire; but without a doubt it is bold and many of those who try it (on social networks) They are delighted with the result. And that, without a doubt, is good news. Not because of the ham, not because of the coffee, not because of the orange zest. It’s good news because culinary Talibanism It is a practice that greatly impoverishes our understanding of food. And it limits us for no reason. Being open to ‘playing’ with products as iconic as Iberian ham is a symptom of a gastronomic maturity that, used well, can help us resolve problems in a much simpler way. big problems of the food security of the century.

Threads is eating the toast to X. He is doing it without making noise and with some data that already starts to weigh

by

Not all the mountain is oregano and not all text -based social networks are X. After the Elon Musk arrival at xthen Twitter, there were few users who fled from the bird’s social network in search of more green pastures. It was then that Mark Zuckerberg, Meta CEO, opened the doors of his: Threads. Two years They have passed Since then and the platform has grown to become a powerful X rival, one that already begins to stand up. The data. As confirmed yesterday Zuckerberg and Adam Mosseri (Instagram CEO) In its official profiles, Threads has managed to reach 400 million monthly active users. It is a significant figure, especially considering that they closed 2024 with Something more than 275 million users that in April the amount amounted to 350 million. 23 Twitter tricks – This social network is completely dominated! Monthly active users (MAU) are a key indicator to quantify the performance, state and health of, in this case, a social network. This metric measures the number of unique users who have visited the platform at least once during the past month. That the Mau grow is a good sign. And what about X? The only information related to X we have in some of the latest statements by Linda Yaccarino, which until a few weeks ago was the CEO of X. According to YaccarinoAs of April 2025 x, it had 600 million monthly active users. The growth was, however, softer. In September 2024 X it had 570 million Mau that, in January, became 586 million. That is, in general terms X it has more monthly active users than Threads, but the growth of Threads is much higher. On the other hand, it is also evident that Threads has more growth capacity than X, a social network that Elon Musk apart, already showed signs of having touched the roof when it was Twitter. Anyway, they are data that must be taken with tweezers because in both cases the source are the ceos of the platforms and, therefore, interested parties. A matter of use. However, there are more third -party data that support the growth of Threads. According to SimilarWebThreads and X have a very similar amount of daily active users (Dau) in their mobile apps: as of June 2025, the X and Android apps had 132 million Dau (15.2% less than the previous year), while Threads added 115.1 million (127.8% more than the previous year). The photo is very different if we look at the use of the websites, with X adding 145.8 million daily visits and Threads only 6.9 million. On the other hand, and according to Apptopia data Shared by Sheel MohnotThreads wins X in another key metric: the engagement. Threads users enter the app 6.6 times a day and each session lasts 190 seconds, while those of X enter 7.3 times and 150 seconds pass. This, in other words, means that Threads users spend 21 minutes daily using the app, while X spends 18 minutes. Threads has fewer users, but those who have them retains them for longer. Threads has a large user tractor: integration with Instagram THE ALMENDRUCO trick. It is no secret that goal has made Threads grow based on integrating it with one of the great titans of the industry of the industry of the doom scrolling: Instagram. IG users see some THREADS posts in their feeds, they can interconnect both profiles and even receive Instagram Push notifications with Threads content. Goal has its weapons and is using them quite intelligence. And Bluesky? Another of the most popular alternatives is Bluesky. After growing greatly at the end of last yearthe platform currently adds 38.2 million registered users, although its real activity is much lower than that of X and Threads users. According to the data of your own API, you have between 600,000 and 700,000 users publishing content and around 1.2 million interacting with the posts. At the moment, it still does not shade the proposals of Meta and X. Cover image | Xataka In Xataka | Bluesky and Fediverso want to stand up to the goal. These are the alternatives to Instagram that are already on the table

20 years ago, BWM allied with a Chinese manufacturer to make motorcycles. Now, that manufacturer has eaten the toast completely

The Chinese motorcycle is sweeping in Spain. So much so that at the level of brands two of the four best selling in our country They come from China. Honda and Yamaha, the Japanese mythical, endure the attack on the accumulated sales, but analyzing the photograph begins to change. A lot. The best -selling trail in Spain is VOGEthe Premium brand of the Chinese giant Loncin. This manufacturer landed in our country in 2019, today is the fourth manufacturer of the ranking, behind another Chinese manufacturer who cups third place: Zontes. About Voge, there is a curious story about how a Chinese brand is managing to conquer Europe … From the hand of a German giant. Loncin has been manufacturing BMW engines for more than 20 years And, in fact, many of the current flagship models of the German brand, such as the BMW F 900 GSThey have these engines made in China. The collaboration agreement Born in 2005, Loncin promised to redouble investment in equipment and installation to manufacture with the BMW standards and the requirements of The euro standardseven going beyond the manufacture of engines: they also manufactured motorcycles for the German company. BMW C 400 GT VS VOGE SR4 MAX 350. The BMW Scooter is based on the BWM platform and technologies. In his plan to increase income and reinforce ties with the Chinese giant, BWM licensed some of his platforms and engines to Voge, and hence the motorcycle that is sweeping in our country arises. Voge is currently the fourth Spanish manufacturer. BMW the seventhwith problems growing month by month. With the VOGE 900 DSX they have achieved their goal: Head the sales ranking in the traile segmentone of the most important and aspirational in the world of motorcycle. It is a model that drinks directly from the BMW F900gs, with the difference that at the equipment level, it is significantly above. The data is not only relevant to leadership in its category: it is because Voge has managed to place a trail of almost 10,000 euros in the third position of the best -selling brands in Spain. The other 9 are scootersa category that Cup more than 50% of the total sales in our country. VOGE 900 DSX. China’s plan to conquer the European consumer in the world of motorcycle is in two pillars: the quality-price and equipment. Regarding the first, The VOGE 900 DSX is sold for € 9,192 in Spain. Its counterparts in BMW, the F 800 GS and F 900 GS, start from € 10,970 and € 13,980, respectively. If we want to equip them, the price exceeds 15,000 euros. The commitment to notice of obstacles at the dead angle (something only common in motorcycles that cost almost double), emergency braking warning system, rapid series change, or a seven -inch TFT with Screen Mirroring are a notice to the rest of the segment giants: the selling a base product and becoming based on extras is a game in which China is not going to enter.
