IIT Guwahati’s Mehta Family School of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence has graduated its first B.Tech batch from the 2021–2025 cohort. Google, Microsoft, and Warner Bros Discovery were among the top recruiters who shared the big pie of the 91% placement rate with other companies. The curriculum was a combination of core science and engineering, with modules centered on AI, and the emphasis was on hands-on projects like deepfake detection, LLM automation, and healthcare AI. The faculty's collaborations with global institutions have effectively reinforced IIT Guwahati’s leadership in data science education.
Through its website or app, Google Gemini allows users to easily delete chat history, thus keeping the privacy and control over the data stored to a minimum. Users can eliminate specific chats, turn off chat saving in settings, or remove all activity for enhanced data security. When chats are deleted, there is no way to get them back. The tutorial provides web and mobile users with both methods and highlights privacy, data encryption, and user control over Gemini stores' interactions.
Perplexity AI predicts a bright future for XRP, Solana, and Ethereum at the end of the year, which may be stronger than Bitcoin's. For XRP, a price of $10; for Solana, a price between $700 and $1,000; and for Ethereum, a cost of $10,000 will be among the factors, all backed by technical analysis, ETF approvals, and U.S. crypto regulations. Besides, market patterns in October, network strengths, and institutional adoption could further increase prices. Furthermore, the risky yet rewarding meme coin Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is winning over early investors through its community participation, staking, and presale programs on the Ethereum network.
