Maphakathi no-Feb Sekuvele Kuzwakala Njengaphakathi Nonyaka: I-Recap of 2025's Major (Around) Tech Events

Njengoba sifinyelela maphakathi no-February 2025, ijubane lezenzakalo liye lashesha kangangokuthi kubonakala sengathi ingxenye yonyaka isidlulile kakade. Nakhu okufingqiwe kwentuthuko ebalulekile eseyenzekile kuze kube manje:

I-AI Innovations kanye Nezimbangi

Emkhakheni wobuhlakani bokwenziwa, isiqalisi saseFrance iMistral AI siqhamuke njengesiqhudelana esinamandla kwizikhondlakhondla zemboni. Yasungulwa ngo-Ephreli 2023 ngonjiniyela bangaphambili be-Google DeepMind kanye ne-Meta Platforms, i-Mistral AI ithuthukise amamodeli olimi amakhulu anesisindo esivulekile esithuthukisiwe, izibeka njengenye indlela ephawulekayo yezinhlelo ze-AI zobunikazi.

Izinhlobo zabo zezilimi ezinkulu ezinesisindo esivulekile sezizuze ukudonseka okukhulu, ikakhulukazi e-Europe, lapho kunesidingo esikhulayo sezinye izindlela zezinhlelo ze-AI ezizinze e-US. Indlela ye-Mistral AI ihambisana nokugxila kwe-EU ekuthuthukisweni kwe-AI evulekile nesobala.

Ukuthuthukiswa Komkhakha Wezokuvikela

Esinye isiqalo saseFrance, i-Exotrail , senze intuthuko ebalulekile emkhakheni wezokuvikela. Ikhethekile kwezokuthutha emkhathini kanye nezinhlelo zokuhambisa umoya, i-Exotrail ibe nesandla ekuthuthukisweni kobuchwepheshe be-rocket, okube nesandla ekwandeni okukhulayo kweYurophu ezinhlelweni zokuvikela emkhathini.

NgoFebhuwari 2025, bathola inkontileka enkulu ne-European Space Agency ukuze bathuthukise izinhlelo zesizukulwane esilandelayo ze-satellite propulsion, baqinise isikhundla sabo embonini.

Izinyathelo Eziyimpikiswano ku-Venture Capital

Ekuqaleni kukaFebhuwari 2025, inkampani eyinhloko yebhizinisi i-Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) yamemezela ukuqashwa kukaDaniel Penny , owayengumakadebona wasolwandle, njengozakwethu weqembu le-American Dynamism. Phambilini uPenny wayebandakanyekile esigamekweni sikaloliwe ongaphansi komhlaba ngo-2023 eNew York City, lapho avimba khona u-Jordan Neely, indoda engenakhaya, okwaholela ekufeni kukaNeely.

U-Penny wakhululwa emacaleni obugebengu ngoDisemba 2024. Abaningi basingabaza isinqumo, uma kubhekwa isikhathi esidlule sikaPenny esasiyimpikiswano, kuyilapho abanye besivikela njengesibonelo samathuba esibili. Lesi sinyathelo siholele ekwandeni kokucutshungulwa kwezinqubo zokuqasha embonini ye-VC.

I-Cryptocurrency Turbulence

Enkundleni ye-cryptocurrency, uMongameli uDonald Trump wethule uhlamvu lwemali lwe-meme oluqanjwe ngokuthi $TRUMP ngaphambi nje kokugcotshwa kwakhe. Uhlamvu lwemali lwe-$TRUMP lwakhula ngokushesha ngemva kokwethulwa, nenani lalo lenyuka ngobusuku obubodwa.

Imali yemakethe yohlamvu lwemali ifinyelele cishe ku-$14 billion ngesikhathi esiphezulu. Nokho, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi ngemva nje kwalokho, uMelania Trump wethula eyakhe uhlamvu lwemali lwe-meme, i-$MELANIA, nayo eyakhula ngokushesha kwalandelwa ukwehla okukhulu. Isilinganiso semakethe sohlamvu lwemali lwe-$MELANIA sifinyelele cishe ku-$5 billion ngesikhathi esiphezulu.

Izinyathelo Zikahulumeni Ezisebenza Ngobuchule

UMongameli uTrump uqoke u-Elon Musk ukuthi ahole uMnyango osanda kusungulwa we-Government Efficiency (DOGE). Lolu hlelo luhlose ukwenza lula ukusebenza kombuso kanye nokunciphisa ukungasebenzi kahle kwe-bureaucratic. UMusk uhlanganise ithimba lochwepheshe abasebasha, abavame ukubizwa ngokuthi “ababulali ababhekene nengane,” ukuze bahole lo mzamo.

I-DOGE akuwona umnyango osezingeni leKhabhinethi kodwa inhlangano yesikhashana ngaphakathi kweHhovisi Eliphethe likaMongameli. Ithimba likaMusk lochwepheshe abancane bezobuchwepheshe lihlanganisa u-Akash Bobba (21), Edward Coristine (19), Luke Farritor (23), Gautier Cole Killian (24), Gavin Kliger (25), no-Ethan Shaotran (22). Ukuqokwa kwabo kuphakamise ukukhathazeka ngamava neziqu zabo.

Izingxabano Zokuqamba Kabusha Kwendawo

Esinyathelweni esikhombisa inqubomgomo yakhe ethi "America First", uMongameli uTrump uyalele ukuqanjwa kabusha kweGulf of Mexico ibe yiGulf of America. Lesi sinqumo sivuse izinkulumo mpikiswano phakathi kwabadwebi bamabalazwe, osopolitiki, kanye nomphakathi, okusikhumbuza izenzo zikamongameli zangaphambilini njengokuqanjwa kabusha kwesiqongo esiphezulu saseNyakatho Melika sisuka e-Denali sibuyela e-Mt. McKinley.

Ngalokhu kuthuthukiswa komlilo osheshayo, u-2025 ubukeka engasenalutho. Uma izinyanga ezimbili zokuqala ziyinkomba, sisohambweni olungalindelekile—silindele ezinye izinto ezingalindelekile, idrama eyengeziwe, nokunye okuningi okunyakazisayo. Fasa ibhande.
