This week was wild. Deepseek came and changed the landscape of AI, but it seems that the total impact of his arrival has not yet been completely understood. Meanwhile, Garmin accidentally tilted many of its devices worldwide thanks to a wandering update, and Android XR broke coverage in our first look at the hand of the software.
To that and more of the great news of Big Tech News that could have been lost from the week are recapted below so that he can catch up with everything and then continue with his day.
If you are looking to catch up with the greatest entertainment of the moment too, then Chekc were our selections for the 7 new films and television programs to broadcast this weekend (January 31).
7. Deepseek R1 conquered the world of AI
It has been a roller mountain week for the AI industry with the Deepseek Rocketing application to the top of the Apple App Store and Beating Chatgpt. Deepseek is a Chinese startup that claims to have developed its deep reasoning model, R1, for a fraction of the price that US companies have invested in their technologies.
It also offers people access to him for free in his chatbot and a very small price as API compared to Openai. The news that a Chinese company can produce an equivalent technology due to a price fraction caused a complete blockade of the value of actions of US technology companies that are strongly invested in AI. Nvidia particularly went wrong with $ 600 billion that are eliminated from its value of shares in just one day. Since then, actions prices have been recovered, but it does not seem that the market will be the same again.
6. But cheated to win?
Questions are already being asked about how Depseek managed to produce his model of so fast, especially after Operai said he had evidence of distillation of some of his models. Distillation is a development technique in which the learning of another model is used, but is against the terms and conditions of use of OpenAi. To make things worse for Depseek, it seems that when asked about what model of AI is better, Deepseek will often refer to yourself as chatgpt, that some users think as a smoking gun.
Openai issued a statement on the matter, stating: “We know that RPC groups are actively working to use methods, including what is known as distillation, to try to replicate Advanced models from the United States. UU. We are aware and review the Indications that Deepseek may have inappropriately distilled our models, and share information as we know more. We take aggressive and proactive countermeasures to protect our technology and continue working closely with the United States government to protect the most capable models that are being built here. ”
5. Garmin became the sonos of Wearables
A few months difficult for software peculiarities became a massive Garmin interruption this week that saw users to lose access completely to their devices. A Rogue GPS file accidentally pushed Garmins saw user devices submerged in a starting loop called ‘blue triangle of death’. Few clients discovered that they could escape, and even those who found more problems with connectivity and synchronization.
The interruption lasted more than 24 hours and listened to hundreds of customers, owners of devices such as the Forerunner and Epix range, as well as more niche devices such as Garmin diving computers, cycling computers and approximation golf range.
Since then, Garmin has solved the underlying problem, but many customers remain stuck in the starting loops and without a device. Mantos have even told us that they regret their purchases from Garmin or plan to leave for companies such as Apple. Garmin has a public relations disaster in his hands that has greatly eclipsed the launch of the Instinct 3. The company has a lot of work to do, or runs the risk of becoming sounds of wearables.
4. The new RTX 5090 of Nvidia came and left
The new Nvidia graphics cards are here and … have already left, since the stock quickly sold out through the Internet for these very sought after GPUs. Some will have been bought by legitimate players who seek to update their platform, and are in a delight with our RTX 5090 review that highlights how a really powerful update is that solid profits are also close to a more modest price (but still not economical ).
Unfortunately, some NVIDIA cards also seem to have been collected by the resellers who take advantage of limited availability to turn them to obtain profits in the resale sites by listing the GPUs for several times their MSRP. The resale sites have also flooded with listings that seem to be selling the new GPUs for prices closer to what they should cost, but when you look more closely, you will see that you promise to send you an image of the graphics card you. I wish instead of the real.
So, our advice is to expect another official fall so that a scammer does not deceive or pay three or four times more for the GPU you are looking for, and can follow our coverage to obtain updates on when and where to happen.
3. Nothing from the phone 3 was mocked
Nothing shared a short video of his CEO Carl Pei this week. Normally, that would not be super of journalistic interest, but as the camera approaches its glasses, we see the words “launch March 4” reflected in the lens. An anterior teaser from Nothing Phone 3 suggested that this would be the announcement date for its next smartphone, but now it is almost true.
What is more interesting is a cut in the middle of the clip that seems to change a shot of a wide lens, to one of a teleobjective lens, the last of which is absent from all phones. We are taking this as a clue that Nothing 3 phone could have a triple lens camera, with a teleobjective camera that joins the ultra width lens configuration that is on the phone Nothón 2.
2. We obtained our first look in depth to Android XR
Thanks to a practical video of Marques Brownlee on its YouTube channel, MKBHD, we have our first glance to Android XR and the Moohan Prototype project this week. While many details, including the price, launch and some specifications, remain a mystery, we could see aspects of the design and software of the headphones.
It looks a lot like a combination of Quest Pro and Apple Vision Pro. There is no head belt, but an adjustable target met Search to change between an optimized and optimized design by MR of VR. It also uses an external battery such as the Pro Vision to help save weight.
As for software, Brownlee’s video focused predominantly on Gemini’s integration, which looks impressive. Although many of the characteristics of AI seem to be much more appropriate for a couple of ar glasses, so although we hope Moohan is impressive, we are already waiting to see what Hardware XR Samsung and Google will be launched below.
1. Our friendly man of the neighborhood became
Our favorite wall superhero has finally returned! Peter Parker’s last adaptation to enter the fray is in Marvel’s new animated series Your friendly Spider-Man neighborhood.
However, the program has a unique launch schedule, since two episodes will be launched every week instead of one, the first two of which debuted in Disney Plus this Wednesday (January 29).
The senior entertainment reporter of Techradar, Tom Power, has already seen the 10 episodes and says the “Spectacular Fun Ride” of the program in his Your friendly Spider-Man neighborhood review.
Which is great news for Spidey fans, because two more seasons have been green and the creator of the program already has “great ideas” where he could go next.
