OpenAI just pushed a fresh update for ChatGPT Atlas, its AI-powered browser for macOS, and it brings some genuinely useful upgrades that make the browsing experience smoother and more organized.
According to the release notes, the highlight feature in the latest update is Tab Groups, which allow you to organize webpages much like in Chrome or Safari. The update also brings some additional changes for tabs, including fixes for vertical tab “Mini mode” and a simplified tab context menu.
Atlas’ search experience has also been updated with a new “Auto” mode that automatically switches between ChatGPT and Google depending on the user’s query. This means you no longer have to manually switch search engines whether you want direct links or conversational answers. On top of that, search results now show links in a vertical format that’s easier to scan.
For users switching over from Safari, the onboarding flow will now suggest installing the iCloud password extension, making it easier to bring over saved passwords and other credentials. Other small but useful tweaks include a simplified context bar menu, crash fixes, updated translations, and support for macOS keyboard text replacements on webpages.
This update follows the browser’s first major post-launch update, which rolled out in November last year and introduced vertical tabs, the ability to set Google as the default search engine options, and iCloud Passkey support. These improvements highlight OpenAI’s focus on making Atlas feel more like a full-featured browser while keeping its AI functionality front and center.
The update is already rolling out to users on macOS, the only platform where Atlas is currently available. However, OpenAI has confirmed that Windows, iOS, and Android versions are in the works and could roll out soon.

Google Research suggests AI models like DeepSeek exhibit collective intelligence patterns
The paper, published on arXiv with the evocative title Reasoning Models Generate Societies of Thought, posits that these models don't merely compute; they implicitly simulate a "multi-agent" interaction. Imagine a boardroom full of experts tossing ideas around, challenging each other's assumptions, and looking at a problem from different angles before finally agreeing on the best answer. That is essentially what is happening inside the code. The researchers found that these models exhibit "perspective diversity," meaning they generate conflicting viewpoints and work to resolve them internally, much like a team of colleagues debating a strategy to find the best path forward.
