Oracle announced today in a very brief statement that it has acquired service broker, Convergin. The company says that this new partnership should provide a “single carrier-grade, standards-based IT platform” that will allow consumer service providers to evolve at a lower total cost of ownership. Convergin’s J2EE-based Service Broker platform seemed to be the main appeal for the company’s acquisition. The J2EE-based platform enables communications service providers to better manage their services on various networks and platforms.
“As communications service providers transition from legacy telephony networks to next-generation networks, the combination of Oracle and Convergin will accelerate new service innovation while reducing network complexity and cost,” says Bhaskar Gorti, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Communications.
The company released statement did not disclose any financial details but did confirm the transaction is expected to close the first half of this year.

The clue comes from how Lenovo's naming appears to tag the platform inside each system. Qualcomm is marked with a Q, while NVIDIA shows up under two labels, N1 and N1X. A dataminer, Huang514613, surfaced a cluster of Lenovo models where those tags appear across multiple families, not just one device.

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.
