💸 DeepSeek AI models have a 545% profit margin LINK
  • Deepseek's AI language models show potential for a 545% profit margin, even with prices lower than competitors like OpenAI, by leveraging an open-source strategy.
  • During a test, Deepseek processed 608 billion input tokens, serving over half from a cache, which helped reduce costs significantly and enhance efficiency.
  • Despite high theoretical revenue, actual income is much lower due to tiered pricing and free services, with only API access currently generating revenue for Deepseek.
🔦 Google's newest moonshot delivers internet by firing lasers through the air LINK
  • Alphabet's Taara project, developed by Google's X research wing, uses light beams to transmit internet signals over long distances, offering an innovative alternative to traditional fiber optics and satellite methods.
  • The Taara chip significantly reduces the size of its internet transmission system from a traffic light to a 13mm silicon chip, allowing data transmission at 10 Gbps over 1km with software-based alignment.
  • Taara's technology has already been successfully deployed in real-world scenarios, providing internet solutions in areas like Caribbean islands and Indian urban centers, and aims to expand its range and capacity further.
🫠 Unknown Android flaws used to hack student's phone LINK
  • Amnesty International revealed that Google patched previously unknown Android flaws exploited by Serbian authorities to unlock phones using Cellebrite's forensic tools.
  • The vulnerabilities, found in the Linux USB kernel, were discovered after investigating a student's phone hack in Serbia, potentially affecting over a billion Android devices globally.
  • Cellebrite was reported to have halted its technology use by Serbian authorities after Amnesty's findings showed misuse against activists and journalists, leading to spyware installation.
🦊 Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic LINK
  • Mozilla has removed its previous promise to never sell users' personal data, sparking concern among users about potential changes in its privacy practices.
  • The company adjusted its data privacy FAQ, explaining that the decision was made due to varying legal definitions of "sale" which can be very broad in some regions.
  • Criticism arose on platforms like GitHub and Reddit, with users worried about new terms granting Mozilla a license to use information provided through Firefox for enhancing user interactions.
🛠️ Intel delays $28 billion Ohio chip factory to 2030 LINK
  • Intel has postponed the completion of two new chip fabrication plants in Ohio, shifting the project timeline from 2025 to 2030, due to cautious planning for their $28 billion endeavor.
  • The company is adapting its construction speed to match business needs and market demand, allowing flexibility to accelerate operations if customer requirements increase.
  • Amid financial challenges, including an $18.8 billion loss in 2024, Intel faces competition from industry leaders like TSMC, Samsung, and Nvidia, affecting its position in the semiconductor market.
