steam machines are back SteamOS 3.7 brings Valve’s gaming OS to other handhelds and generic AMD PCs Focus is currently on AMD-based PCs with hardware similar to the Steam Deck. Andrew Cunningham – May 23, 2025 11:28 am | 29 Credit: Valve Credit: Valve Story text Size Small Standard Large Width * Standard Wide Links Standard Orange * Subscribers only   Learn more Valve is releasing version 3.7 of SteamOS to the general public, and among the routine updates and changes is a big one: This is the SteamOS release that finally adds official support for some kinds of PC hardware other than Valve's own Steam Deck. Valve mentions certain specific handhelds as having either "official" or "improved support," including the Asus ROG Ally, the Lenovo Legion Go, and the Lenovo Legion Go S. It also includes directions for configuring the original Legion Go and ROG Ally for SteamOS installation. But Valve says that only the Steam Deck and Legion Go S have fully baked SteamOS support. The release claims to run on "other AMD powered handhelds" more broadly, implying that most third-party handheld PCs with Ryzen Z1 or Z2-series processors ought to support at least some basic functionality. Other all-AMD desktops and laptops have a decent shot at being supported, too. It was previously possible to get a SteamOS-like experience on third-party hardware using a community-maintained distribution like Bazzite, but at least some hardware will now be able to get SteamOS right from the source. This update comes just a couple of weeks after Valve announced a new "SteamOS Compatible" label for games that would be displayed separately from Steam Deck compatibility information. AMD-only, for now If you want there to be a chance that your desktop or laptop will work with SteamOS, it will have to be all-AMD on the inside. Credit: Andrew Cunningham To try SteamOS on your hardware, Valve's two hard-and-fast requirements are "AMD hardware" and an NVMe SSD. The hardware requirement likely refers to, collectively, the CPU, GPU, and chipset, and possibly also the RZ-series Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules that are often paired with AMD systems. You'll also need to disable Secure Boot on your PC. This is normally enabled by default since it's an installation requirement for Windows 11, so you'll want to refer to your manufacturer's documentation to figure out how to turn it off. Valve's instructions will walk you through downloading a SteamOS recovery image and copying it to a USB drive using either the Rufus tool (on Windows) or Balena Etcher (the preferred macOS and Linux utility). After turning Secure Boot off, you should be able to boot from the USB drive and install SteamOS as you would on a regular Steam Deck. Note that there's no simple, officially supported way to dual-boot SteamOS and Windows; if you decide to turn your handheld, laptop, or desktop into a new Steam Machine, the only way to make it back into a Windows PC is to re-enable Secure Boot and install a fresh copy from another USB drive. The SteamOS 3.7 update (officially, version 3.7.8) also includes a bunch of other updates to the underlying software: version 6.11 of the Linux kernel (up from version 6.5 in SteamOS 3.6), "a newer Arch Linux base," version 6.2.5 of the Plasma interface in desktop mode, new Mesa graphics drivers, and various other tweaks and bug fixes. A second act for SteamOS The original version of SteamOS was designed to be widely compatible with all kinds of PC hardware and was available both from major PC manufacturers and as a standalone OS that you could (and which we did) install on custom, self-built PCs. But these computers and that version of SteamOS mostly flopped, at least in part because they only ran a small subset of games that natively supported Linux. The current version of SteamOS launched with more modest aims as the first-party operating system for a single piece of hardware. But by focusing on the game compatibility problem first and leading the way with category-defining hardware, Valve has actually built a much stronger foundation for the current version of SteamOS than it did for the original. That doesn't make SteamOS a drop-in replacement for Windows—without strong support for Intel or Nvidia hardware, it's not a great candidate for the majority of gaming PCs, or even Intel-powered gaming handhelds like the MSI Claw A1M. And Windows is set up to be a multi-purpose general-use operating system in ways that SteamOS isn't; Valve still says that, despite the presence of desktop mode, "users should not consider SteamOS as a replacement for their desktop operating system." But for certain kinds of systems that are primarily used as gaming PCs, SteamOS is a real contender.

In 2023, IBM made its mark by announcing the redundancy of almost 8,000 employees, mainly in human resources, to automate these functions using artificial intelligence. But against all odds, this strategy led to a wave of new hires… again because of AI. AI upsets the employment balance at IBM In early 2023, IBM made a radical decision to replace thousands of jobs, mainly in support functions, with artificial intelligence solutions. The stated objective was clear: to automate up to 30% of repetitive tasks, particularly in human resources, and thus achieve significant productivity savings. This strategy, far from being isolated, was part of a worldwide wave of rationalisation in which other tech giants, such as Google and Spotify, were also making massive redundancies. But IBM has taken its experimentation further than its competitors. Thanks to the AskHR solution, an AI-powered conversational agent, 94% of routine HR management tasks have been automated, from holiday processing to payroll management and employee documentation. This automation has enabled the firm to generate $3.5 billion in productivity across more than 70 different business lines. However, what followed surprised even IBM’s top management. Far from reducing its workforce permanently, the company saw its total number of employees rise again after the wave of redundancies. Arvind Krishna, IBM’s CEO, explained it to the Wall Street Journal, “While we’ve done a tremendous amount of work to leverage AI, our total employment has actually increased because it’s allowed us to invest more in other areas.” In fact, automation has freed up financial and human resources, which have been redeployed in high value-added sectors. IBM has massively recruited software engineers, sales people and marketing specialists, professions where creativity, critical thinking and human interaction are irreplaceable by machines. Repetitive and predictable tasks have been entrusted to AI, but the need for human skills has exploded in strategic areas. Towards a transformation of the labour market IBM’s example illustrates a fundamental trend: AI is not just eliminating jobs, it is creating new ones, often with higher qualifications and better pay. But this transformation is not without its problems. The jobs most exposed to automation, such as support functions, are being replaced, while demand is exploding for profiles capable of managing, designing and selling AI solutions. IBM is not an isolated case. Other companies, such as Duolingo and certain customer service platforms, have also tried to massively replace their staff with chatbots, sometimes with mixed results, forcing them to rehire specialists to compensate for the limits of automation. The success of automation at IBM is based on the company’s ability to reinvest the savings made in growth sectors. The case of AskHR is emblematic: in 2024, the platform handled more than 11.5 million interactions, with a customer satisfaction rate (NPS) that rose from -35 to +74 in just a few years. But despite these successes, only 6% of requests still require human intervention, proof that the transformation is not complete and that certain skills are still essential. The IBM case raises the question of the future of work in the age of AI. According to a report by the World Economic Forum, almost 92 million jobs could disappear by 2030 as a result of automation, but new professions are already emerging at high speed. The challenge for companies and employees will be to anticipate these changes, train and adapt to an ever-changing labour market. At IBM, AI has not only eliminated jobs: it has forced the company to rethink its HR strategy in depth and reinvent the contours of modern employment. Share This With A Friend :

In this tutorial, we demonstrated how Microsoft’s AutoGen framework empowers developers to orchestrate complex, multi-agent workflows with minimal code. By leveraging AutoGen’s RoundRobinGroupChat and TeamTool abstractions, you can seamlessly assemble specialist assistants, such as Researchers, FactCheckers, Critics, Summarizers, and Editors, into a cohesive “DeepDive” tool. AutoGen handles the intricacies of turn‐taking, termination conditions, and streaming output, allowing you to focus on defining each agent’s expertise and system prompts rather than plumbing together callbacks or manual prompt chains. Whether conducting in‐depth research, validating facts, refining prose, or integrating third‐party tools, AutoGen provides a unified API that scales from simple two‐agent pipelines to elaborate, five‐agent collaboratives. !pip install -q autogen-agentchat[gemini] autogen-ext[openai] nest_asyncio We install the AutoGen AgentChat package with Gemini support, the OpenAI extension for API compatibility, and the nest_asyncio library to patch the notebook’s event loop, ensuring you have all the components needed to run asynchronous, multi-agent workflows in Colab. import os, nest_asyncio from getpass import getpass nest_asyncio.apply() os.environ["GEMINI_API_KEY"] = getpass("Enter your Gemini API key: ") We import and apply nest_asyncio to enable nested event loops in notebook environments, then securely prompt for your Gemini API key using getpass and store it in os.environ for authenticated model client access. from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient( model="gemini-1.5-flash-8b", api_key=os.environ["GEMINI_API_KEY"], api_type="google", ) We initialize an OpenAI‐compatible chat client pointed at Google’s Gemini by specifying the gemini-1.5-flash-8b model, injecting your stored Gemini API key, and setting api_type=”google”, giving you a ready-to-use model_client for downstream AutoGen agents. from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent researcher = AssistantAgent(name="Researcher", system_message="Gather and summarize factual info.", model_client=model_client) factchecker = AssistantAgent(name="FactChecker", system_message="Verify facts and cite sources.", model_client=model_client) critic = AssistantAgent(name="Critic", system_message="Critique clarity and logic.", model_client=model_client) summarizer = AssistantAgent(name="Summarizer",system_message="Condense into a brief executive summary.", model_client=model_client) editor = AssistantAgent(name="Editor", system_message="Polish language and signal APPROVED when done.", model_client=model_client) We define five specialized assistant agents, Researcher, FactChecker, Critic, Summarizer, and Editor, each initialized with a role-specific system message and the shared Gemini-powered model client, enabling them to gather information, respectively, verify accuracy, critique content, condense summaries, and polish language within the AutoGen workflow. from autogen_agentchat.teams import RoundRobinGroupChat from autogen_agentchat.conditions import MaxMessageTermination, TextMentionTermination max_msgs = MaxMessageTermination(max_messages=20) text_term = TextMentionTermination(text="APPROVED", sources=["Editor"]) termination = max_msgs | text_term team = RoundRobinGroupChat( participants=[researcher, factchecker, critic, summarizer, editor], termination_condition=termination ) We import the RoundRobinGroupChat class along with two termination conditions, then compose a stop rule that fires after 20 total messages or when the Editor agent mentions “APPROVED.” Finally, it instantiates a round-robin team of the five specialized agents with that combined termination logic, enabling them to cycle through research, fact-checking, critique, summarization, and editing until one of the stop conditions is met. from autogen_agentchat.tools import TeamTool deepdive_tool = TeamTool(team=team, name="DeepDive", description="Collaborative multi-agent deep dive") WE wrap our RoundRobinGroupChat team in a TeamTool named “DeepDive” with a human-readable description, effectively packaging the entire multi-agent workflow into a single callable tool that other agents can invoke seamlessly. host = AssistantAgent( name="Host", model_client=model_client, tools=[deepdive_tool], system_message="You have access to a DeepDive tool for in-depth research." ) We create a “Host” assistant agent configured with the shared Gemini-powered model_client, grant it the DeepDive team tool for orchestrating in-depth research, and prime it with a system message that informs it of its ability to invoke the multi-agent DeepDive workflow. import asyncio async def run_deepdive(topic: str): result = await host.run(task=f"Deep dive on: {topic}") print("🔍 DeepDive result:\n", result) await model_client.close() topic = "Impacts of Model Context Protocl on Agentic AI" loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() loop.run_until_complete(run_deepdive(topic)) Finally, we define an asynchronous run_deepdive function that tells the Host agent to execute the DeepDive team tool on a given topic, prints the comprehensive result, and then closes the model client; it then grabs Colab’s existing asyncio loop and runs the coroutine to completion for a seamless, synchronous execution. In conclusion, integrating Google Gemini via AutoGen’s OpenAI‐compatible client and wrapping our multi‐agent team as a callable TeamTool gives us a powerful template for building highly modular and reusable workflows. AutoGen abstracts away event loop management (with nest_asyncio), streaming responses, and termination logic, enabling us to iterate quickly on agent roles and overall orchestration. This advanced pattern streamlines the development of collaborative AI systems and lays the foundation for extending into retrieval pipelines, dynamic selectors, or conditional execution strategies.

From the latest and greatest Apple watches to high-performing tablets and Beats headphones, you can score hundreds in savings right now. We've gone ahead and rounded up the best Memorial Day Apple deals. Let's take a closer look, so you can start saving now. Don't forget to check out our round-up of theBest Memorial Day tech sales for all of the best deals out there.Apple Watch DealsAlready $100 off in anticipation of Memorial Day, Apple's flagship smartwatch, the Apple Watch Series 10, is our Editor's Choice pick for iPhone users (and it also earned our Best of the Year Award in 2024). It's powered by the fast and efficient S10 chip and boasts tons of health, fitness, and lifestyle features, including GPS workout recording, ECG, sleep and cycle tracking, music, podcast, and third-party app support. It also has the newly added audio playback mode. Plus, the new depth gauge and water temperature sensors also make it an excellent choice for snorkeling and other shallow-water activities. The latest Apple Watch SE that we reviewed hits the sweet spot in terms of balancing performance with price thanks to this $50 discount. It's marketed as the "budget-friendly" model in the Apple Watch line-up, but still boasts many of the same core features, including fall detection, irregular heart rate and rhythm notifications, and pretty much the same access to apps and connectivity features. Basically, if you can forgo an always-on display and some of the more specialized health metrics, like body temperature and ECG, then the Apple Watch SE offers the most bang for your buck, especially on sale.iPad DealsAlthough small, the latest iPad Mini is powerful and capable with the new ability to support Apple Intelligence. In terms of design, it has the same sleek aesthetic of other iPads, only it's a lighter, more portable size that's ideal for traveling while leaving your bulky tablet or laptop at home. Plus, the bright LCD screen features anti-reflective and fingerprint-resistant coatings, so you can use it outside with little glare and clear visibility. In our testing, it performed notably well across gaming, productivity, and media streaming with a solid 7-plus hour battery life — and right now, it's $100 off.Recommended by Our EditorsBeats DealsWhen it comes to noise-cancelling earbuds, the sleek Beats Studio Buds+ are among the best value you can find right now. On sale for just $100, they boast some of the best noise cancellation you can find in the under-$200 price range. The overall audio quality doesn't disappoint either with deep bass and crisp highs. They're compatible with both Apple and Android devices, offering an impressive nine-hour battery life plus an additional 27 hours when you use the charging case. We gave them a rating of "Excellent" in our 2023 review, and that was without a 41% discount.Powered by the Apple H1 chip, the sweat-proof Beats Powerbeats Pro deliver the iconic deep bass sound signature the brand is known for, only in Bluetooth earbud form. In contrast to the Beats Studio Buds+ or AirPods, these feature a sleek design that hooks over the ear and can even be adjusted to ensure an extra secure grip. The nine-hour battery life is also noteworthy, with the case offering an additional 24 hours of playback time. Per our 2019 review, they earned a rating of "Excellent" with one of the big downsides being the price – but with nearly a $100 discount, these are well worth it for fans of the Beats aesthetic and acoustics.The Beats Studio Pro are wireless, over-ear headphones that offer a rich, well-balanced sound complete with head-tracking spatial audio. You can listen to your favorite tunes via wired headphones (for high-res audio playback) or through Bluetooth in either noise-cancelling or transparency mode. We found their seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem to be especially noteworthy along with their comfortable, cushiony fit and premium accessories. While we originally rated them as "Good," at a sale price of $200, they're a more than good pair of noise-canceling headphones, particularly for iOS users. We’re finding Memorial Day Deals everywhere, from retailers like Amazon and Walmart to top brands like Dell and HP. And don’t forget to check out all of the Memorial Day Deals Under $100 and Under $50. But, if you’re looking for something more specific, we’ve rounded up the following holiday deals for you:

This story appeared in The Logoff, a daily newsletter that helps you stay informed about the Trump administration without letting political news take over your life. Subscribe here.Welcome to The Logoff: The Trump administration opened a new front in its war against Harvard this week, attempting to block all international students from attending the university — and swiftly getting slapped down by a federal judge.What did the Trump administration do? On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security revoked Harvard’s ability to enroll international students, alleging that the university is “perpetuating an unsafe campus environment” and “employs racist ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ policies.” The move put Harvard’s nearly 7,000 international students at risk of losing their visas.What’s the latest? Harvard swiftly sued the administration, and a federal judge this morning issued a temporary restraining order, which means the university will be allowed to continue admitting foreign students, who make up more than a quarter of its student body. What else has the administration done to attack Harvard? Trump has attempted to seize control of Harvard’s curriculum and admissions policy, and slashed nearly $4 billion in federal grants; the New York Times has tracked at least eight separate investigations by six federal agencies targeting the school, and Trump has floated revoking the university’s tax-exempt status.Why is the Trump administration going after Harvard? The Trump administration has accused Harvard and other elite universities of perpetuating antisemitism on campus, but its attacks have quickly grown in scope. As my colleague Andrew Prokop has reported, Trump’s particular focus on universities is part of a broader ideological campaign to break what the right perceives as liberal institutions. But Harvard has pushed back — in addition to Friday’s lawsuit, it sued the administration last month over funding cuts.What’s next? Harvard’s international students are protected for now, and its lawsuits against the Trump administration will work their way through the court system. But Trump’s latest salvo is a reminder that the administration’s efforts to go after its perceived enemies show little sign of abating.And with that, it’s time to log off…University of Maryland graduates attended their “Kermencement” ceremony on Thursday — like a normal graduation, but with Kermit the Frog as the commencement speaker (his creator, Jim Henson, was a UMD graduate).

Key Takeaways Maxsun unveiled the new Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual GPU video card, featuring two 24GB Pro B60 GPUs. It features a blower-style fan, ideal for building complex workstations with multiple cards. Although the pricing isn’t made public yet, we expect it to be around $1,000, which can be a competition-killer. Remember the good old CrossFire days when you could hook up multiple AMD GPUs to achieve higher performance? Well, those days might be returning thanks to the new Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual GPU launched by Maxsun at Computex. It PCIe features two 24GB GPUs in a single card, meaning you can get 48 GB of GPU memory. What’s incredible here is that the Arc Pro B60 only needs 8 PCIe lanes, unlike some high-end GPUs that need 16. However, you’ll need an X16 motherboard/CPU combo that supports PCIe bifurcation. In that case, the entire x16 slot can be split into two x8 connections. Interestingly, the Arc Pro B60 isn’t marketed as a gaming GPU – it’s meant primarily for workstations that require high computing power for tasks such as rendering, animations, moderate AI development, 3D modelling, etc. This is why it features a unique blower-like fan instead of the typical open-air fan we see in gaming CPUs. Unlike open-air fans that spread the heat out inside the case, a blower-style fan works like a hairdryer by pushing the heat out from the inside of the case. While the cooling efficiency of a blower fan might be lower on a single GPU, they turn out to be more effective in stacks, which is exactly what the Arc Pro B60 is meant for. So, if you’re building a workstation with 3 Arc Pro B60s, a blower-style fan ensures all 6 GPUs can be cooled without overwhelming the entire setup, making it better for ‘stacking.’ Comeback of Multi-GPU Setups Multi-GPU setups were quite the thing back in the day. We’re sure that a couple of die-hard builders in our team would serve up puppy eyes thinking about hooking up two 16GB GPUs to get more power. However, despite the widespread belief that you would get double the performance, memory was only enhanced by 30-50%. Still, these CrossFire setups served the purpose, i.e., gamers could play resource-intensive games. It’s worth noting that such dual-GPU setups faded away with the rapid development of newer GPUs. In short, single GPUs became powerful enough to overshadow dual GPUs. Eventually, a lot of applications and games stopped supporting CrossFire setups. With the new Intel Arc Pro B60, dual GPUs might make a mini-comeback. They’re not returning to the gaming arena, but to data centers, workstations, and AI setups. NVIDIA hasn’t promoted this in a long time, pushing its expensive GPUs into the market instead. This is also precisely where Intel wants to punch harder – the price point. Although we’re still waiting for the exact details on the Intel Arc Pro B60 dual GPU setup price, experts believe it could be priced around $1,000-$1,200. To get the same 48 GB of VRAM, you might have to spend $5,000-6,000 with models like the NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada. Of course, there will be performance differences between the two, too, but getting at-par VRAM is the first step of the process. Honestly, if power-intensive workspaces are able to get 48 GB of VRAM at 70-80% less cost, this dual GPU setup can become a market killer. In other news, Intel has also announced Project Battlematrix – a solution that supports AI workloads that can combine up to eight Intel Arc Pro GPUs in a system, with 192 GB of VRAM. The company seems to be working hard on the workstation and data processing industry – something NVIDIA and AMD haven’t catered to explicitly yet. This could give Intel a first-mover advantage. If it can achieve comparable performance with some modern NVIDIA chips, the new Intel Arc Pro B60 can revive the Blue team.
