Google’s open-source Chrome OS is expected to release before the end of 2010, but eager adopters can get a preview of it now. You’ll first have to install VMware, which is a virtualization software that will allow you to run Chrome OS from within Windows, Mac OSX , or Linux. Google released the open-source code for developers, but for those of you who just want to give the OS a test run, you can find a virtual machine image here that will run along with VMware.
If you’re not quite ready to jump through hoops and give Chrome OS a hands-on test run on your personal computer, check out the Chrome OS demo video below for a quick look at what the operating system is all about.

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.
