Hewlett-Packard Co. is re-branding Electronic Data Systems as HP Enterprise Services, roughly a year after buying the company in a blockbuster $13.9 billion deal.
The buyout of EDS, founded by former presidential candidate Ross Perot, more than doubled the size of HP’s technology services business and made it the second-largest company in the market behind IBM Corp.
HP cast the renaming Wednesday as an important step in integrating the company, a process that has included nearly 25,000 layoffs.
It comes as rival Dell Inc. is set to make a similar push into technology services, buying Perot Systems Corp., another Ross Perot company, for $3.9 billion.

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.
