What’s happened? Google has rolled out a major update to NotebookLM, its AI-powered note-taking and research assistant. An official post by Google states that NotebookLM can now handle a larger context window up to 1 million tokens, offers 6 times longer conversational memory, and boosts response quality by about 50 %.
This is important because: NotebookLM has been steadily leveling up over the past few months. Its ability to organize information topic wise and display it in an interactive Mind Map, combined with the web search support and integration of Nano Banana, has quietly evolved NotebookLM into one of Google’s most underrated AI tools. And the latest improvements can help in several ways.
Why should I care? If your workflow involves reading many documents, writing reports, or collaborating with others, NotebookLM’s update could simplify it.

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.
