Cisco Systems has launched the new P200 networking chip designed to connect artificial intelligence (AI) data centers across vast distances. The chip, already adopted by major companies like Microsoft and Alibaba, replaces 92 individual chips and reduces power consumption by an impressive 65%. This innovation allows for seamless integration of data centers, significantly enhancing large-scale AI training capabilities.
The P200 chip has improved buffering, enabling effective handling of extensive data flows tailored for AI workloads. Cisco emphasizes that this advancement will support the growing demand for energy-efficient solutions in the tech industry.
Nymiz, a privacy technology startup based in Spain, has announced it secured €2 million in a Series A funding round led by TIN Capital.

The school achieved a remarkable placement rate of 91%, with top recruiters like Google, Microsoft, and Warner Bros Discovery participating in the hiring process.
The curriculum blends core science and engineering principles with a strong focus on AI, emphasizing hands-on projects. Students engaged in practical applications such as deepfake detection and healthcare AI, while collaborations with global institutions have further solidified IIT Guwahati’s position as a leader in data science education.
Privacy Features and Future Predictions
On the privacy front, Google has introduced new features in its Gemini platform that enable users to manage their chat histories efficiently. Through its website and app, users can delete specific chats, turn off chat saving, or remove all activity, enhancing control over personal data. Notably, deleted chats cannot be recovered, underscoring Google’s commitment to user privacy and data security.
Meanwhile, predictions from Perplexity AI suggest a promising outlook for various cryptocurrencies by the end of the year. The analysis indicates potential price points of $10 for XRP, between $700 and $1,000 for Solana, and $10,000 for Ethereum. These forecasts are supported by technical analyses, anticipated ETF approvals, and evolving U.S. cryptocurrency regulations.
Additionally, the emerging meme coin Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is gaining traction among early investors, driven by community engagement, staking initiatives, and its presale programs on the Ethereum network.
As technology continues to evolve rapidly, both Cisco’s innovations and Nymiz’s funding success highlight the industry’s ongoing commitment to efficiency and privacy in an increasingly digital world.
