He claims to have a training method for his AI 88% cheaper

by

The Chinese company High-Flyer broke into the market in the market of the artificial intelligence (AI) At the end of last January. Deepseek, his proposal, has made its way among its competitors thanks to its open nature and its benefitsbut the authentic debate has revolved for several weeks Around the cost of training your models. And it is that according to its creators they were barely spent 5.6 million dollars In this process. Three and a half months later this figure is still unbelievable, so it is reasonable to contemplate it with distrust. Anyway, Deepseek has put on the table the possibility of facing the training of the new models of investing much less money than the one spent by US companies OpenAi, Google or Anthropic in the tuning of theirs. Now it is the Chinese technological giant Alibaba who seems to be following The same path that has already traveled Depseek. And it is that it claims to have developed a AI models training system that reduces the cost almost 90%, which presumably will have a positive impact on AI search capabilities. Alibaba’s jewel is called Zerostoch The strategy that Alibaba engineers have devised to reduce the cost of training their AI models is ingenious. And instead of interacting with real search engines during this process, Zerostoch, which is what is called its technology, improves search capabilities carrying out simulations. To understand why this approach is much cheaper, we need to keep in mind that the costs associated with the redirection of commercial search engines are usually high. Alibaba has put a model that behaves as a search engine that is capable of training other AI models According to Alibaba Send 64,000 consultations to the Google search engine through an API has an approximate cost of $ 586.70, while generating the appropriate responses for training by means of an AI model of 14,000 million parameters has an approximate cost of 70.80 dollars, which represents an 88% cheaper. In practice, what Alibaba engineers seem to have achieved is to tune a model that behaves as a search engine that is capable of training other AI models so that they are able to solve consultations. This scenario has a very evident advantage: training no longer requires interaction with external search infrastructures. Alibaba, as we all know, is a gigantic company, but from now on this strategy can be used by much smaller companies to train their own AI models without the need to face a great investment in this process. In addition, presumably this technology will improve both the search capabilities of AI models and the ability with which they carry out the reasoning processes. At the moment Alibaba has used Zerostoch to improve the capabilities of his Quark model, which for just three days has been capable, always according to its creators, to combine the internet search and advanced reasoning capabilities to resolve inference and deliver precise responses to complex consultations.

They improved their training and changed jobs

Receive money every month without conditions And without having to justify what is spent, for decades, A controversial idea and difficult to imagine in practice. However, Germany decided to carry out one of the most ambitious experiments in the world to verify what really happens when it is offered A vital basic income To a group of people. The results of this study have been a success since, as has been demonstrated In other previous testsfar from discouraging labor improvement, it has improved it. Basic Vital Rent in Germany. He Pilot project of universal basic income in Germany was designed as a long -term scientific study and with a rigorous approach to the Mein Grondeinkommen organization, the German Economic Research Institute (DIW Berlin) and other academic institutions. The experiment has not only revealed data on the economic impact of universal basic income, but has also allowed us to observe how the lives of those who receive it change. From improvements in mental health to the influence of economic support in training and decisions to change jobs. The experiment. The test counted With a total of 122 people between 21 and 40 randomly selected, they already had previous income of between 1,100 and 2,600 euros per month, to which 1,200 euros per month were added from June 2021 to May 2024. Parallel, a control group of 1,580 people with similar sociodemographic characteristics was established, but who did not receive this additional income. The participants of the basic income group did not have any type of condition to receive those 1,200 euros per month, so they could work, study or not perform any work activity, and the money was delivered without inspections or deductions. The objective was to measure, in a precise way, how this financial support influenced in their personal and professional decisions. During the three years of the experiment, each of the 122 participants received a total of 43,200 euros. The control group, on the other hand, only received symbolic compensation for completing the periodic questionnaires of the study. More training, better jobs. One of the main fears of vital basic income is that the search for employment or professional improvement discourages. However, the study results German have shown just the opposite. A remarkable number of participants chose to invest that additional income in their training, either to improve their skills or to change the professional sector. In the first 18 months of the project, labor mobility and work satisfaction increased clearly. Even after this period, the beneficiaries of basic income reported higher job satisfaction levels, regardless of whether they had changed jobs or not. During the analysis period, the percentage of people who changed employment in the group of participants that received the 1,200 euros extra was higher than in the control group. As it happened In Finland’s testsfinancial security allowed many participants to dare to look for better paid jobs or with better working conditions. Less stress and reduction of medical casualties. The study too analyzed the effect of basic income on health and the psychological well -being of the participants. The data reveal that those who received the 1,200 euros per month experienced a significant reduction in financial stress and an improvement in your mental health. This positive effect also resulted in a decrease in the number of medical casualties and in a greater sense of control over one’s life. “Universal basic income can mean enormous savings in the health and social assistance system. Because people with mental stability can work more productively and innovatively,” assured Klara Simon, president of Mein Grdeinkommen, the German agency responsible for the experiment.

Strava has bought Runna. The Sports Social Network now has a fantastic application with training plans

by

Strava, the social network of athletes par excellence with more than 150 million users, has announced the acquisition of Runnaa popular British application of training plans for runners launched in 2021. Why is it important. This purchase resolves one of Strava’s great ‘ This was a weak point for both beginners and veterans, who had to resort to other platforms. This movement is not only a strategic purchase, but a direct response to the world boom of the Running. In 2024 almost one billion races were registered in Strava, and according to Your datathe race on foot is the sport that grows the fastest global, with the Z generation leading this trend. What does Runna do. The Runna app, which I tried for months, asks for concrete objectives (finish a 10K, finish a marathon, run average marathon in less than 1:40 h, etc.) I already change both specific and adapted training plans, as a live guide of each plan. That is, if we start a training with Runna (present at Apple Watch or Garmin), we will guide us on our clock and also in our headphones on each part of the training, it will notify us if we are going too slow or too fast, of each change of rhythm that we have to do, etc. And now what. In the short term, both applications will continue to function independently, according to They have confirmed the CEO and co -founder of Strava and Runna respectively. Presumably, the first changes and integrations will arrive in the coming months. As a backdrop, two clear elements: The growing importance of Strava’s premium subscription (8 euros per month) with which to access a series of somewhat secondary functions. Limiting training plans to this subscription will make it much more attractive. Runna’s are 20 euros per month. Other recent purchases from Strava: Recover Athleticsan injury prevention application; and Fatmapa 3D maps platform. The expansion strategy in different areas of the digital fitness is evident. The big question. How are subscriptions going to now manage? If we look at the annual plans, Strava Premium costs $ 80 a year for the 120 that Runna costs. At the moment, users will need to maintain both subscriptions if they want to have access to “everything.” Runna uses Strava’s third parties to synchronize activities. It is expected that a better integration arrives. Michael Martin, CEO of Strava, has compared this purchase with that of Recover Athletics, which works separately but is free for Strava subscribers. Deepen. These types of purchases usually generate reactions found. In 2023, Strava had a confusing and controversial change in its subscription price And a few weeks ago that Garmin announced his subscription plan With a rather warm answer. Clearly Strava wants to be more than “the social network of sport” to offer more value directly to the athlete, and not just a social meeting point around training.

Hiba Abouk practices the training that tones the most and helps us age better

by

Along with Vanesa Lorenzo or Ariadne Artiles, Hiba Abouk is another of our celebrities athletes who also inspire their followers to overcome laziness and perform in the gym. Exercise is part of her life and we have seen her for years leading by example through ideal boxing sessions to reduce stress and increase self-esteem or ‘full body’ routines that work the entire body at the same time. The actress is also a great fan of strength training, highly recommended by experts because not only is it one of those that tones the fastest, it also optimizes our endocrine system, helps us age better and even prevents us from feeling hungrier after eating. © hiba_abouk_ Hiba Abouk’s strength training Dumbbells, weights, resistance bands, kettlebellskettlebells… There are many different accessories to work on strength and, under proper supervision (Hiba relies on the one known in networks such as 23toptraining), all of them help strengthen muscles and general health. To begin with, the technical director of JG fitness, Fran del Águila, highlights his ability when it comes to increase leptin sensitivity: “It is a hormone produced by fat cells that sends signals to the brain to indicate that we are full. When leptin levels are adequate, we feel less hungry and have more energy.” The opposite also happens, “Factors such as obesity, genetics and a sedentary lifestyle can alter the body’s sensitivity to leptinmaking it difficult to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight. The reason why weight work plays a fundamental role in the performance of this hormone is that “By burning calories and building muscle, it helps reduce fat percentage body, which in turn improves leptin sensitivity. © hiba_abouk_ An ally at all ages Although this type of weight training is associated with young people with a well-developed physical background, Technogym, a leading brand in fitnesswell-being, sports and health, they consider it critical for the elderly demographic“since it is the most effective way to combat the natural and age-specific tendency to body weakness, linked to the loss of muscle mass.” Its experts assure that “adding moderate/mild strength training sessions prescribed by a doctor and guided by a trainer to the routines of older people essentially decreases the likelihood of injury and allows them to lead an active life for longer. © Silou London As for those worried about gaining too much volume with this type of routine, Sara Álvarez, co-founder and creator of the RETO48 method, denies it: “The most widespread myth is that if you lift weights you will have a bulky bodyand women tend to avoid the weight room because they believe that cardio is the only way to lose weight and tone up.” The expert assures that “this idea is a product of ignorance of the benefits of strength training, especially its ability to build a healthy and fit physique. Finally, Álvarez recommends it as an ally to lose weight: “Do strength training guarantees muscle development, weight loss and greater flexibility. The best option? Incorporate both options into your exercise routines to have a slim, toned and healthy body.”
