With the new Macbook Pro, Apple’s updates go more than skin deep. Beyond the usual upgrades in processing power and additional memory, the new 15-inch MacBook Pro will be getting a high-resolution Retina display, the same type the Cupertino company is already using in the latest iPad and iPhone.

In theory, this means that users won’t be able to see the pixels that make up their displays when using their MacBook. Apple also says it’s revamping applications to take advantage of the new  technology, and third-party applications that aren’t Retina ready will be automatically “pixel doubled” until developers switch over.

The Pro will also see some physical changes, now coming in at just 0.71-inches thick (this is about 25 percent thinner than previous models) and weighing in at 4.46 pounds. A larger battery is supposed to offer 7 hours of battery life, and the machine will include two Thunderbolt ports along with native HDMI — no more DisplayPort dongle to carry around.

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.
