A new study by Google suggests that advanced reasoning models achieve high performance by simulating multi-agent-like debates involving diverse perspectives, personality traits, and domain expertise.Their experiments demonstrate that this internal debate, which they dub “society of thought,” significantly improves model performance in complex reasoning and planning tasks. The researchers found that leading reasoning models such as DeepSeek-R1 and QwQ-32B, which are trained via reinforcement learning (RL), inherently develop this ability to engage in society of thought conversations without explicit instruction.These findings offer a roadmap for how developers can build more robust LLM applications and how enterprises can train superior models…

Optimism (OP) underperformed as risk-off sentiment hit high-beta altcoins hardest. The buyback plan is delayed, small, and lacks immediate supply reduction. Technical breakdown below key averages has triggered strong sell-side momentum. The Optimism (OP) token is falling even after token holders approved a long-awaited buyback plan.

This decline is sharper than the broader crypto market’s 5.26%…

Touting the clean, carbon-free nature of renewable energy no longer carries the clout it did under the Biden administration, and policy has shifted against certain forms of renewables. At the same time, energy companies are being called upon to meet rising power demands of data-center developers, many of which are prioritizing carbon-free options.This has forced energy companies to shift the way they communicate: They must garner political favor while also positioning themselves as an answer to the…

CoinShares found that sentiment hasn’t recovered since October 10, 2025, as investors reduced exposure across major cryptocurrencies. Investors pulled $1.73 billion from digital asset funds, in what appears to be the heaviest outflows since mid-November 2025. The trend indicates that a bearish mood is building, much like during past declines. Weak price action, fading expectations of near-term rate cuts, and disappointment that crypto hasn’t acted as a hedge against debasement appear to be important drivers, according to the latest edition of CoinShares’s Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report. Bitcoin Leads the Selloff Bitcoin funds experienced heavy withdrawals of $1.09 billion…

Tel Aviv-based startup Factify emerged from stealth today with a $73 million seed round for an ambitious, yet quixotic mission: to bring digital documents beyond the standard formats most businesses use — .PDF, .docx, collaborative cloud files like Google Docs — and into the intelligence era.For Matan Gavish, Factify’s Founder and CEO, this isn't just a software upgrade—it is an inevitability he has been obsessed with for years."The PDF was developed when I was in elementary school," Gavish told VentureBeat. "The bedrock of the software ecosystem hasn't really evolved… someone has to redesign the digital document itself."Gavish, a tenured professor…
