It will be normal for companies to win more money with fewer people

by

Microsoft is at your best economic moment. At the same time, he is saying goodbye to Much of its template in different departments and key divisions such as Xbox and some of their European studies. The paradox of the company led by Satya Nadella is clear: it is completely normal for companies to win more money with fewer people. The layoffs. The Microsoft case is no exception, it is the new present in the Tech industry. In May fired more than 6,000 employeesabout 3% of its global workforce. In July, I added to the list other 9,000 workers. “Organizational changes necessary to better position the company in a dynamic market,” According to Microsoft spokesmen. The company carries cleaning template since January 2023an added to salary freezing and bonus cuts and incentives for its employees. The figures. Microsoft has closed its last fiscal quarter with income of 64.7 billion dollarsan interannual growth of 15% and a stock capitalization greater than 3.7 billion dollars at the time of writing this article. A you against Nvidia to be the most quoted company in the world. The paradox. Since 2023, the estimated total of dismissals in Microsoft exceeds 30,000. Meanwhile. Historical record in quarterly income. Record in net benefits. Record for action per share. Stock capitalization record. Microsoft is leading the company model towards which the technology industry is directed: more income, more efficiency and less workers. The context. Since 2022, layoffs are becoming usual. They do not arrive in a context of recession, they arrive in the midst of an increase in the valuations of technological actions. They are an integrated routine, in cases like Microsoft’s, in the company’s quarterly planning itself. Far away is the post -financial stage of 2008, with the United States keeping interest rates and investment in Big Tech absolutely triggered. A phenomenon that continued after Pandemia, with the great technology overcome and entering a war for talent. Image | Trueup.io Where are we going. Since 2022, great technology have stopped the Race for hiring and entered a completely different phase. It is forecast that about 200,000 technology employees will be fired in 2025. A figure still distant from The 400,000 that were recorded in 2023but symptom of a trend that will not be reversed. Mainly for three reasons. Because. In the years immediately after pandemic, technological ones launched themselves to an aggressive hiring strategy. Thousands and thousands of job offers in a context after which Andy Jassy himself, CEO of Amazon, admitted that had hired too much people. Superstar. Although the wave of dismissals sounds like a crisis for workers in the Tech sector (because there are), the sector giants are raffling the most specialized profiles. The focus is on attract talent to win in AIturning engineers In the new players. The division is clear: thousands of workers going to the street, and engineers signing with seven -digit salaries. And, along the way, companies earning more money than ever. In Xataka | 50 years later the amazing thing is not that Microsoft continues to exist. The hallucinating thing is that it remains (Tan) relevant

The world seeks that pot with AI that ends up replacing the iPhone. China already prepares to win that war

The Holy Grail of Hardware with AI. In recent days, the OpenAI project, which has Bought the Jony Ive design company To create a mysterious Hardware of AI device. There is also a clear interest in the segment of the connected glasses and with AI: what Google presented with Project Atlas and with their Android XR glasses He is also promising. Those developments start from the US, but they will not be alone. Not much less. Hi, Lightsail. Dong Hongguang, employee number 89 of Xiaomi and who for years was head of the customization layer of the Xiaomi, He has just created his own company. It is called Lightsail (光帆科技) —Guangfan Technology – and its goal is to create a device with AI. It has completed two modest investment rounds of 18 million dollars in total, but after the project are Catl, Afterhokz, Goertek and Gigadevice. A diverse team. Lightsail has a promising team, since he has hired former employees of Xiaomi, Huawei, Bytedance, Alibaba or Tencent. All of them have worked in fields such as operating systems, AI and device integration. The support of the aforementioned companies is also key: the company ensures the support of technological partners that provide the components to create that future device. AI AGENTS ALWAYS. The objective, Explain The analyst Rui Ma, is to create a wearable in which to integrate an agricultural purpose of general purpose. Or what is the same: that this hardware device –A pendant? A AI HUMAN PIN -type clip?– Allows a constant voice interaction in which AI is responsible for solving all kinds of doubts and tasks. A future full of wearables with AI. Companies such as Lightsail state that in about five years wearables will stop limited to specific tasks to be a total interface to interact with AI. For now, the Software Components is somewhat green, and does not allow dynamic coordination and multimodality support that something like this would need. China is super strong in glasses. In the short term the most promising product are glasses with AI, and in China that market is about to exploit. There are “five dragons” of augmented reality In this country with notable products, and the rhythm they are developing and powerful models is frantic. Xreal, Rayneo, Rokid, Ingo and Meizu are the great protagonists of a segment that is in full boiling. Trying to unseat the mobile. There are several companies in China and the United States that are working on these hardware devices with AI, and what is raised is the definitive witness change that could leave the mobile in the background. At the moment what we have seen has been a disaster: Both the Rabbit R1 and the Humane Ai Pin proved to be very greenand our mobile phones are still today great devices. In fact, they are still clear candidates to be the center of our experience with AI. Magic Leap promised too much. Then the disappointments arrived. Beware of expectations. The aforementioned failures of the first hardware devices with AI have left a worrying sensation: better not to trust the promises of this type of products. Both promised benefits that were later worse, and there was an over -dimensioning of expectations. We live it in the past with that disappoint with the augmented reality of Magic Leap. Sam Altman’s speech and Jony Ive follow that pattern, and according to the OpenAi CEO what they are creating will be “the most amazing piece of technology that the world will ever see.” You have to grant the benefit of the doubt, but as explained by analyst Ed Zitron In a recent column, Altman’s trajectory and IVE does not leave good prospects here.

We have been concerned about what companies with our data do. Brazil will allow money with them to win

by

Brazil has just crossed a line that promises to change forever the relationship between its citizens and their personal digital information: digital wallets to moneture their data. Why is it important. The South American country has announced The first national program in the world which allows its citizens to own, manage and monetize their fingerprint. Brazil has decided to convert this information into economic assets for those who generate them instead of simply seeing how their citizens give data to technological ones. The initiative, administered by Dataprev – state technology company – in alliance with the Californian Drumwave, will create personal data savings accounts. Users may deposit the information generated by their daily activities and receive economic offers from companies interested in buying it. In detail. The system works like cookies of third partiesbut with a turn: instead of simply accept or reject, users can choose to make money. When they request a loan, for example, the contract data will be stored in their digital portfolio, and companies will be able to bid for them. “People don’t get anything from the data they share,” explains Brittany Kaiser, co -founder of Own Your Data Foundation and Drumwave advisor, according to the official statement. “Brazil has decided that its citizens must have property rights over their data.” The pilot starts with a small group of Brazilians who will use loan portfolios. After accepting an offer from a company, the payment is deposited in the portfolio and can be transferred immediately to a bank account. The context. This movement places Brazil ahead of the United States, where a similar initiative of the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, It was raised in 2019 But he never took off. If it is completely implemented, it will be the first public-private association that allows citizens-not to companies-to obtain a personal data market share. Yes, but. Some specialists in Brazilian data protection have expressed serious doubts. In a country where three out of ten people are functional illiteratesaccording to official data, there is a risk that vulnerable populations sell their data without understanding the consequences. “We will be asking for half of the country that you don’t know how Rest of World. “People in vulnerable situations will say yes, and that could be used against them.” The background. The Brazilian Congress works on a bill that would classify data as personal property, exceeding the current legislation that considers them an inalienable right. The new regulations would give people complete rights about their personal information, especially that generated “through the use and access of online platforms, applications, Marketplaceswebsites and connected devices “. And now what. If this is consolidated, Brazil will sit a precedent that other countries can follow. The proposal promises “a correction in the historical imbalance of the digital economy,” according to Rodrigo Assumpção, president of Datapre. The idea: transform personal data into assets for those who provide them. For companies such as Google, Meta or Amazon, accustomed to obtaining valuable data “simply” offering their platforms also for free, this proposal is an earthquake. For users it could be the first step towards a world where each clickeach search and each digital movement has a tangible market value.

In the fierce war for augmented reality, China has five “dragons” willing to win it

by

I’ve been observing from the barrier how the career of The augmented reality. And, I must be Franco: so far no one had taken it seriously, not even Apple. Vision Pro It is a brilliant product, but niche. Very niche. Google herself renocated in her most important event of the year, the I/or 2025 which believes to recognize as a key to democratize access to this product category. “We know that glasses can only be really useful if you want to wear them all day.” And Android XR arrived Android XR marks a before and after. It is the first real effort to create an accessible mass platform for every manufacturer that bets on augmented or mixed reality glasses. What seemed An initial project in conjunction with Samsung To develop a VR helmet, it has ended up materializing in a paradisiacal garden on which any manufacturer can walk. This operating system will play a fundamental role in the popularization of A format with great sale potential: Traditional glasses with augmented reality. A platform through which users can use (naturally) apps such as Google Maps, photos and, the most important, Gemini, on reduced size devices. Google is not winning only the race when developing an open platform that gives life to a product that free us (at least partially) of the smartphone, is also leading Who offers the best assistant driven by AI. The Gemini native integration In augmented reality glasses it makes even more sense than a mobile. The voice command becomes almost an essential when the physical interaction with the device is minimized. It is, in fact, Google’s goal. Free ourselves from the smartphone in daily tasks How to call, follow addresses towards some point or something as simple as adding a reminder to the calendar. The friction is minimized to remove the mobile from the pocket for any of these purposes. Glasses, voice command, effective execution. THE BATTLE FOR PRICE AND FORMAT Vision Pro or even Quest target are born as niche products. Apple sells mixed reality at almost 4,000 dollars (taxes included), with results below analysts’ predictions. About 175,000 units sold in a year. Goal has been Selling the Oculus Quest as hot breadwith an accumulated of 20 million units. Perhaps the quality-price has something to do. So much that Apple considers to focus efforts on more economical vision. “We know that glasses can only be really useful if you wanttake them all day. “ Virtual reality has its niche, But the augmented opens to products mainstream (glasses that you can wear almost all day), a formula that starts working. Not satisfied with Meta Quest figures, the company started four years ago an incursion into the world of traditional format glasses next to Ray-Ban. First with Ray-Ban Storiesand Three years later with Ray-Ban Meta. A new product, a “new” format, and One million sales in their first year of life. The “traditional glasses with headphones and things” works. But the goal is missing a platform adapted to this format and less limited hardware (these glasses can barely record some video, receive notifications and call). And there China comes into play China has been engaged in a career to lead the technologies necessary to create traditional format glasses with augmented reality. And there are five big names in it: XREAL Rayneo Rokid Immobile Meizu It is curious how, beyond giants like Huawei (whose platform Harmonyos does not currently prioritize AR devices) innovation in this territory is in the hands of small businesses. XREAL It is a start-up that already works in some Badge glasses Under the Android XR platform. It will be a product to take into account and relevant to China, since Most hardware is produced nationwide (currently 65%, with the aim of reaching 100% on a two -year horizon). Instead of betting on Qualcomm technologies, Xreal has its own chip for glasses, the X1. Rayneo It may sound more, and it is a subsidiary of the Chinese giant TCL. He is working with Alibaba to take AI models to smart glasses and, for the 2028 Olympic Games, they plan collaborate with COI to create promotional videos in which the perspective of athletes (which will wear scratch glasses) is the protagonist. A look at your website It lets us see that they are focused on markets beyond the Chinese, with the focus currently on the projection of content. Rokid It is founded by an ex-alibaba, and manufactures glasses that use the QWAN model (precisely Alibaba) to translate into real time. It has enough state support, and works with national companies. Although it has a consumer product, it is quite focused on specific solutions. Immobile He is one of China Mobile’s main collaborators in his attempt to develop one of the great national language models. Jiutian LLMone of the first models, and is being tested in the glasses of augmented reality of immobile. Their abilities are multimodal (voice, text, compression of what you are seeing), and the connection is direct by 5G to the cloud of China Mobile, without the mobile as an intermediary. Finally we have Meizua historic Chinese manufacturer who tried in Spain with its mobiles but could not with Huawei and Xiaomi. The company has developed Llm Flyme a multimodal AI engine that vertebra both its XR devices and its connected car systems. They also combine text, voice and visual recognition, integrated in recent launch glasses, such as their Starv Air 2. A company recently acquired by the Geely engine giant, with expansion plans outside China. The keys to winning this format race Although Google has put the platform on the table and has set your hand to companies that want to collaborate with it, this It is still a war to dispute And in which there are still no proposals for attack to the generalist public, beyond the first goal approach with Rayban … with glasses that do not even execute augmented reality. Google has important strategic advantages: its Android ecosystem is unbeatable … Read more

After the surprise, ‘La Revuelta’ is discovering to what extent ‘El Hormiguero’ is a complicated colossus to win

by

Although in its first months of life the fight between ‘El Hormiguero’ and ‘La Revuelta’ He was fiercewith victories in audience almost alternating Mathematical, the situation has changed. David Broncano has not advanced ‘El Hormiguero’ for weeks, which puts the star program of the Nights of La1 in a hurry: he needs to find a way of counterattacking. A 2025 fall. The competition during the first months of ‘La Revuelta’ resulted at the end of last year with A tight victory: 15.7%against 15.6%, with Broncano beating more clearly in the strip of strict coincidence (16.3%/15%). But Something seems to be failing in 2025: The first quarter 46 days of ‘La Revuelta’ and 47 of ‘El Hormiguero’ were issued, and Antena 3 imposed on LA1: it obtained an average of 14.8% compared to 13.4%. In 35 days he won ‘El Hormiguero’. Second quarter with a clear winner. But in the April months And May the thing has not gone much better: in these five weeks, only three days got ‘the revolt’ to beat ‘El Hormiguero’ (April 2, 3 and 15, the last one being the motorcycle program a replacement). That is, the Broncano program has been advancing its rival for more than a month, with figures that are close to 10% of Shareeven often without exceeding it, while ‘El Hormiguero’ is accommodated closer to figures around Share 13-15. That is, not only does it advance to his rival, but his audience has dropped: he is far from that 14.8% he averaged in 2025. Is it a ‘the revolt’ disaster? Actually, they are not bad figures, especially if we compare with the average audience that La1 made in that strip of Access before the arrival of Broncano (for example, in the first half of 2024 the 1 averaged 9% share). Thanks to Broncano the 1 passed in the annual ranking of Ser the third most watched chain of 2024 to be the second (With the additional impulse, yes, of the Eurocup and the Olympic Games in June and July: it was in those months the most watched chain, after 12 years without leading a month). The figures of ‘La Revuelta’, as a whole, are not disastrous, but Broncano resists leadership. There is no surprise anymore. There is another possible reason for this fall: the known as “wow effect” (that is usually used in marketingbut it also serves any content proposal for the general public, such as television programs) is no longer that of the early days. Gone were the reaction to the theft of a guest with a Documentary about the Berrea del Ciervo By way of response, the splendid Amaia’s performance which closed 2024 or how two icons of the program, such as Broncano and Lalachús, attracted the attention in the New Year’s Eve bells. Since then, few actions in the program have achieved that effect: perhaps the Short around the lottery raffle or the striking LEIVA LIVE performance With numerous invited stars. Little thing for a program that has not been assigned to Trends of social networks, something that A few months ago I got almost daily. ‘La Revuelta’ no longer surprises the same. A formula that accuses tiredness. What could happen? One possibility is the exhaustion of the surprise effect: ‘La Revuelta’ started as ‘the resistance’ in Movistar Plus+ in February 2018, which is seven years in which the formula has barely experienced variations. It is an exhaustion that It does not affect the much more veteran motorcycle program: The solid but well -founded structure in some collaborators and sections that have been among the most watched on television make not evolving a problem for Broncano. For motorcycles, however, and as it has demonstrated by liquidating A rival behind another, His monolithic scaffolding is his main weapon. The TV family does not take off. It is not the only proposal of the renewed TVE that Sergio Calderón directs that does not finish finding its space before the competition. On its third day on antenna, after a Dubitative start with a ride‘The family of TV’ It fell yesterday to a very lazy 6.2%with only half of the fee that the winner, an increasingly grown Jorge Javier with 12.1% of Share. It was the most ambitious bet of this first half of 2025 for RTVE and the return of Belén Esteban to the front line awakened expectation, but the result does not seem to be convinced in its week of debut to the public.

Can a gorilla win 100 men? The dilemma that is obsessively consuming to the Internet

by

Everyone on the Internet wonders who would win in a battle between a gorilla and one hundred men. It is a mere mental riddle without correct response, but formulated to open the discussion. That is why it has become THE MEME OF THE MOMENTand all types of users are facing the enigma from multiple approaches, from biological to ethical. The important thing, as they say, is not the answer, but the way to get to it. A war for all. The meme is very simple: it consists of discussing who would win in a battle under those conditions, a question that has been viralized at the end of April this year. Tiktokers like Tredouglass, Lov3Charlee either Rationniper They have opined on the subject (most of the time in favor of the gorilla), although the thing became a Global phenomenon When users with millions of followers like Elon Musk and Mr. Beast tweet on the subject. Origins of the meme. In February 2022, the Tiktoker YURI5KPT2 He wondered who would win in the battle. It was a first advance of the subject, which had no continuity, although it generated a remarkable response, more than three thousand comments. Previously, in 2020 in Reddit it had been discussed In a thread With some impact on media specialized in nature. Legendary clashes. Beyond, hypothetical clashes between unequal power factions make up a classic debate exercise. The asymmetry between combatants has always been Part of classical military theory. Where does it come from, if not, the legendary confrontation between David and Goliath. On the other hand, and already in more recent times, the asymmetric confrontation has become classic meme of war games, and users of titles such as’ Age of Empires’ or ‘Ultimate Epic Simulator‘(This in pure fantasy contexts) generate fighting with the editors who have millions of reproductions on YouTube. Some of them are that excessive: And of course, the meme has continued to grow, completely out of control, with street interviews, Animations, experiments with AI, simulations and innumerable opinion videos on the subject. Why do we like a anger. There is a reason for us to like this meme, comment, discuss it and contribute our opinion. Apart from that as gregarious creatures, there is nothing that we like more than taking sides for a side and argue for discussingthis confrontation has some symbolic, and there are more transcendent conflicts. The clash is also that of the brute and individual force against cooperation and strategy, in the same way that also symbolizes the eternal conflict of savagery against civilizationa debate that we love to resume and take to the extreme. Again, the Memes helping us to explain ourselves Simple and humorously. There are evolutionary psychologists who affirm in Media like Rolling Out that “these hypothetical discussions are modern expressions of ancient survival planning behaviors that once helped our ancestors develop in dangerous environments.” That is, the circle closes: we plan and discuss how to face the gorilla in a theoretical framework … just in case we have to do it in the real world. Yes, but … who would win? The time comes to give the response to the unknown. Many experts They seem to coincide In a front fight, the gorilla would undoubtedly win. However, if the man is on the cusp of the evolutionary pyramid is for something: he would very possibly find the way to manage to win, even if he improvise weapons to attack. A gorilla is between four and ten times stronger than a humanwhich makes it an unstoppable muscle mass with bare hands. Source | Joshua J.

China wants to win the career of AI giving the services that others charge

by

Alibaba has just launched Qwen 3his family of AI models with “hybrid” reasoning capabilities, just three months after Deepseek shook the industry with R1. It is not a coincidences: both Chinese companies have adopted a diametrically opposite strategy to that of the United States. While Openai reserves the best functions and expands limits to those who pay at least $ 20 per month (with more permissiveness if they are 200), and Google reserves their advanced functions to subscribers, Chinese giant publish open source models with almost restrictions, free for personal or commercial use. It is not altruism, but A direct attack on the western business model, based on the fact that the mere access to a great model justifies the payment. Qwen 3 arrives in eight variants: from light versions of 600 m parameters that fit on a mobile to a 235 b titan that rivals O3 and Gemini 2.5 Pro. They all allow alternate between fast answers and step -by reasoning —The trait that opens Sell ​​as differential-, but without tolls. We are facing the “Linux” of AI. China does not want to lift fenced gardens, but to dynamite the commercial logic that supports great American technology. Each open launch that touches the level of owner systems erodes its perceived value. Why pay $ 20 per month for chatgpt if you can mount FREE QWEN 3 with a similar yield? The pressure on OpenAI, Google or Anthropic grows with each Asian iteration. Marc Benioff He summarized it after The Deepseek earthquake: “The models and interface are already commodities; the value is in the data.” China has internalized it before Silicon Valley. The play involves clear advantages: It partially raffers chips restrictions by squeezing efficiency. Mobilizes a global community that improves and displays its technology. Set standards de facto That, over time, they will channel the entire ecosystem. The thesis is clear: Basic models will be one more utility. The business will be in the applications and in the data that nourish them. It is no accident that Alibaba Alardee that Qwen already accumulates more than 100,000 derivatives, above those based on flame. Silicon Valley faces a dilemma: persist and risk irrelevance or open and sacrifice short -term income. The paradox is also clear: the free western market is being challenged by Chinese firms under the flag of the Open Source. While Musk accelerates with Grok 3.5 and OpenAi continues to show the way to pass through month to month, China advances without brake: more power for less cost until paying for the is as absurd as paying for an operating system.

Byd set out to win the electric car race. And then a TSMC factory went on sale

by

Build your dreams. That is the message after the acronym for Byd (“Build Your Dreams”, in English), the electric car manufacturer that is becoming absolute leader of the market. Only in 2024 he distributed 4.27 million electric cars and plug -in hybrids, 2.5 times more than Tesla (1.7 million). Its market domain is currently imperial. It is remarkable that unlike other electric car manufacturers, ByD is responsible for manufacturing practically all the critical components of those vehicles. Not only batteries, but electric motors, chassis and, attention, semiconductors used in such vehicles. It does it through semiconductor byd, which As Nomad Semi points out It is one of its most important divisions after its subsidiary Findreams Battery, in charge of manufacturing the batteries. The company was founded in 1995 by Wang Chuanfu and initially focused on the development of rechargeable batteries. In 2003 he already sold more than anyone in that sector, and that was when it was introduced into the car industry when buying the Xi’an qinchhuan Automobile Company. But before something unique happened. When TSMC decided to sell one of its factories Just a year earlier, in 2002, a semiconductor Byd, a division was created Fables “Chips said, but delegated her manufacture in other companies (Foundries) – destined to develop integrated circuits for protects their batteries and thus avoid overheating or overloads. In 2004 TSMC made the decision to close Fab 1its first manufacturing plant, and in 2005 it ended up selling all the equipment and were used for a fable of six -inch silicon wafers (popular in the 1990s, but already somewhat obsolete) of the manufacturer semiconductor symptoms. This company licensed TSMC patents and also had engineers who had previously worked for that firm. Things did not just go well and Ningo Sinomos went through economic difficulties. Byd took the opportunity and bought this company for 29 million dollars. The company founded by Wang was already involved in the development of electric cars and made a remarkable leap here: to be able to develop its own chips, it went from being a company without its own production (Fables) to an IDM (integrated device manufacturer) that I had control of all phases of the development of its chips, from design to production. Chips everywhere Since then, Byd’s activity accelerated and expanded its product catalog. Thus, they developed chips to manage the management of the electricity supply (IGBTS, MOSFETS, DIODES, Integrated Current Circuits), but also microcontrollers (MCU), sensors (temperature, pressure, position, current) and optolectronic chips (photodetector, octoacopladores, etc.). Source: Nomad Semi Among them, The most outstanding are IGBTS (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor). These are specially important components for current investment systems, acting as electronic switches that help in the process of passing continuous current that batteries provide to the alternating current needed by electric motors. Byd Semiconductor began to develop its first IGBT chips in 2005, and since then it has been creating new and better versions. Its most recent IGBT 6.0 chips were launched in 2022 and are almost as good as the most advanced competitors such as Infineon. That has allowed Byd to become the most important IGBT provider for Chinese manufacturers. Their advances with the aforementioned IGBTS are an important example of the growth of the division: Semiconductor ByD already has various subsidiaries and factories that produce 8 and 12 inches wafers, much more modern and that have allowed to create increasingly advanced chips. New developments for autonomous driving and supervoid load In fact, in November 2024 They announced A collaboration with TSMC and Mediatek for the development of two new chips. One of them, For its autonomous driving systems/driving assistance, is the future substitute for those used so far in their vehicles (Nvidia Orin and Horizon Robotics J6E), and offers a Autonomous Level 3. Interior of the Byd Atto 2 The second is the Byd9000, a chip with 4 Nm photolithography based on the MediaTak Dimensity 9000 and is oriented to advanced infotainment systems. But there are more examples, and one of them is in the developments Silicon carbide -based that for years are increasingly important in electric cars. Byd has been working with this type of material for some time and in fact in March 2025 he presented his super and platform, a system that provides Superápida load in electric vehicles allowing loads of 100 kWh batteries in just 6 minutes. This achievement occurred thanks to the development of specialized chips of 1,500V by the semiconductor byd, which for the first time can apply them in the automotive industry. These chips are capable of managing a greater voltage, and in front of traditional electric vehicles that use 400 and 800 volts systems allow to reduce energy losses and make possible faster loads. Good news for byd, bad for the rest He Silent boom of semiconductor ByD as a supplier of this type of chips can generate a trend among other car manufacturers, which so far have delegated that part of the business in specialized companies such as Infineon, NXP, ONSEMI, Texas Instrumental or Renesas. All of them dominate the semiconductor market for the automotive industry, but things could change. Especially since electric cars use many more components of this type than combustion motor cars, and that makes the vertical integration through which Byd (almost everything in their cars they manufacture it) is especially interesting for manufacturers. Nomad Semi analysts believe that NXP, ONSEMI and INFINON are the ones at risk They are for that trend. According to their data, the car industry represents half of its sales, but also the income in China are especially important for the aforementioned and renesses. Are we therefore facing a new semiconductor giant? Of course, not in the broad sense of the word: Semiconductor ByD focuses completely on the chips and components destined for its vehicles, but of course that frantic growth of Byd growth in the electric car industry can put very difficult things to its rivals in this sector.

Renfe aspired to win 5,000 million euros with an AVE in the US copying Japan. His government has just kill him

by

Unite the cities of Dallas and Fortworth with Houston. That is the project with which Renfe hoped to continue growing in his international projects. The construction of a high -speed line for just 386 kilometers that allows these cities to be connected in just 90 minutes. The project allows to connect the two most important Texas cities with a train that travels to 386 km/h, according to You can read on the Renfe website. The Spanish company has presented this project as Texas Advisor Central Railroadoffering their experience in “the stages of development, design and construction and in the commercial operation (operations, maintenance, promotion and sale of tickets)”, according to the company’s own words. Renfe went up to the train of this project in 2018 and his involvement grew in 2021 when he signed the contract to become an infrastructure operator. With this new high -speed line I expected to win more than 5,000 million euros from here to 2042, when the contract expired. However, the United States government has withdrawn all funds. A dead point project “I am pleased to announce that Fra and Amtrak agree that the financing of this project is a waste of taxpayers’ funds and a distraction of Amtrak’s main mission to improve their existing deficient services,” The statement indicates Sent by the United States Department of Transport. The words are from Sean Duffy, Secretary of Transportation of the country that has withdrawn the 63.9 million dollars of subsidy that the Federal Railway Administration (FR) dedicated to the high -speed railway corridor of Amtrak Texas, previously known as the Texas Central Railroad project. In the published information, Duffy emphasizes that the project was born with an exclusively private spirit but that with delays and unforeseen costs increased significantly. So much that they estimate that you can go to the 40,000 million dollars “What makes the construction unrealistic and a risky company for the taxpayer”, in words expressed in the statement. The high speed project to join these two cities re -enters the dead and is a setback for the Spanish company. They explain in Five days that Renfe became part of it in 2018, first with a job of Advice and Line Design. In 2021, The contract was extended and made the Spanish company a future operator of the same with which he hoped to win 5.3 billion euros before 2042. However, the issues With this high -speed line they had been accumulating long before. The creation of this line has its origin in 2009 under the company Lone Star High-Speed ​​Rail LLC. Three years later, the company changed its name to Texas Central Railway. After verifying that the costs were fired, it was accepted that public capital supported the project. In spite of everything, the calendar has breached again and again. Environmental and security permissions should have been achieved in 2020 but delays have been added to which the colon of the coronavirus crisis and an expropriation of land that follows in the courts have been added. In 2017, the United States government with Donald Trump to the head included the project as “a national transport infrastructure priority,” they point out in Five daysand with Joe Biden in command of the country State funds from the Infrastructure Plan were allocated To keep the project alive. Now, in Trump’s second term, the Department of Transportation has canceled it. Until now, the plan went to implement a small -scale replica of the famous rail system of Japanese high speed tokaido shinkansenoperated by Central Japan Railway Company (JRC). Thus, the train It could reach 386 km/h peak speed and join Dallas and Fortworth (separated by about 50 kilometers) with Houston in 90 minutes. You wanted to establish a regular service with a train every 30 minutes.

It’s called byd and represents everything China has to win

We do not know how long it will last but we do know that we are living a few days that will happen in the history of financial markets. That they become a mere anecdote in books or that, really, becomes days, weeks or a historical period to study is something that time will only tell us. Anyway, since last April 2, something has changed in the world car market. Something that threatens to break the market as we have understood so far. Why does an electric car have less autonomy than the announcing Byd is emerging at a unique opportunity. A disruptive tariff. “A hole we have never seen”. With these words, Jim Farley, CEO of Ford, defined the possibility of cars to export tariffs to the United States. From April 2 they apply at 25%. A figure that substantially increases each vehicle or that dynamite the benefit that each company can obtain if it does not touch the prices. The pieces have also been granted to build those cars. For example, if a car is manufactured in the United States, the product has to increase because the transmission, engine or any other piece has been manufactured outside its borders. And, in addition, there are also A 25% tariff to tariff and aluminum They are key … indeed, for car production. A complicated calculation. The problem of which numerous experts are notifying is that it is impossible for the United States to attract a complete supply chain for all cars that buys in a short time space that is the alleged great objective of the measure. In BBC They explain with a map the complex process that carries the production of a simple piston, which moves as a fish in the water between the borders of the United States, Canada and Mexico. Farley’s words are also the company that produces the most within the United States After Tesla. The impact despite everything is huge, how to calculate the damage to General Motors, for example? We know that last year the United States imported vehicles and car parts worth $ 475,000 million in 2024. Of that figure, it is estimated that more or less half were represented by vehicles. And of those vehicles, between 50 and 60% arrived from Europe, they collect in eldiario.es. It does not seem accidental that the European Union is already proposing lift tariffs to industrial goods. First consequences. Given this context, there are two options. The first, of course, upload prices. It is estimated that, on average, and depending on the base price of the vehicle an American will pay Between 5,000 and $ 15,000 more per car bought. Given that climb, it is difficult to think that manufacturers can put on the market the same amount of cars as at the moment. Mercedes considers abandoning the sale of Mercedes Gla, one of its less small vehicles and, therefore, with the lowest profit margin, according to Bloomberg. Those who are not thinking about it are Stellantis. The company has already announced the Temporary dismissal of 900 employees. In addition, a factory in Ontario (Canada) and another in Toluca (Mexico) will be closed two weeks and all month of April, respectively. Toyota, which was already reducing its production in the United States, It is also going down the rhythm in Mexico. And Volkswagen has ordered to stop shipments from Mexico and Europe, according to Automotive News. The fifth producer. If we quickly review the companies that have begun to make their ads we find that we have talked about Toyota, Volkswagen and Stellantis. If we add General Motors and the Hyundai/Kia group to the equation we have the CInc major cars manufacturers of 2024. Last year, Byd already touched on the door of this group of the five. Its 4.27 million units produced were placed as the sixth producer of the world. The forecasts for this year are 5.5 million units. If they were fulfilled, last year they would have earned him to overcome Stellantis (5.41 million units) and start seeing General Motors on the horizon (fourth position, he touched the six million units). Bad forecasts. The worst thing for Stellantis is that the company was already dragging problems last year. In fact, in 2023 it came from touching 6.40 million cars made but their future, especially in the United Stateshe has prevented him. General Motors also lost bellows in 2024 when he made almost 200,000 cars less than the previous year. In both cases They are especially affected for 25% tariffs to the car. Stellantis manufactures 57% of the cars it sells. And General Motors reduces that 52%figure. In both cases a large part of its production to Mexico and Canada has been transferred where they produce 39% and 30% of their cars, respectively. The latter is especially important because Canada has already warned the United States that it will impose tariffs of 25% return to cars that export to the country. It is estimated that Canada imported from the United States in 2024 vehicles worth 15,500 million dollars. Nor are Toyota and Volkswagen saved. General Motors and Stellantis are the greats indicated in this case because they are the closest of Byd. But it is expected that Toyota and Volkswagen face very hard economic conditions if an understanding between Japan, the European Union and the United States is not reached. Toyota sold in 2024 2.33 million cars in the United States. Of them, only 1.27 million produced within the country. Volkswagen sold more than one million of cars last year in the United States. 80% of cars that it sells there would be affected by import tariffs (and it would be necessary to calculate the increase in those manufactured there). The right moment. The global car context cannot be, right now, more favorable to byd. The company does not produce vehicles for the United States or manufacture within its borders so it is a market that was non -existent and that will continue … Read more
