At Apple’s latest product event, the Cupertino-based company announced two new additions to the MacBook Pro lineup — along with the previously-announced Mac Pro. As previously speculated, both the 13-inch and 15-inch models sport Intel Haswell processors found in the new Macbook Air, while touting the same Retina displays adorning the 2012 MacBook Pro. Both the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pros feature the newly-launched Mavericks OS, in addition to 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Thunderbolt 2.0, and integrated graphics courtesy of Intel Iris and Iris Pro.
Cosmetically, the new models aren’t vastly different. The 13-inch model 15-inch models are slightly thinner and lighter than their predecessors, measuring 0.71 inches thick and weighing in at 3.46 and 4.46 pounds, respectively. Apple claims that battery life has gotten a significant boost thanks to updated specs and software optimization courtesy of Mavericks. This could extend battery life an additional two hours beyond the previous models, offering a total of up to nine hours of usage and 30 hours of standby time. Although the $1,999 15-inch model ships with Intel’s Iris Pro integrated graphics, users can always opt the $2,599 model, which includes a Nvidia GeForce GT 750M GPU which should provide you with more graphics processing power over Iris Pro.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro starts at $1,299, while the 15-inch MacBook comes in at $1,999. Both are on sale now. Check out our comprehensive spec comparison for a closer look at how the 2013 MacBook Pro stacks up against last year’s Retina Macbook Pro.

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.
