(Reuters) -Cisco Systems launched a computing device on Monday that will run artificial intelligence workloads at local entities such as retail stores, factory floors and healthcare facilities, speeding up their AI data processing capabilities.

The new platform, named "Cisco Unified Edge," is an attempt to bring AI infrastructure closer to where the data is created - on shop and factory floors, for example - as traditional data centers become overburdened with complex commands, especially as agentic and reasoning models drive up network traffic.

The Cisco platform features an Intel chip and has seen an early adopter in Verizon. It is expected to be generally available by the end of the year.

Tech firms have committed tens of billions of dollars to expand their data center operations to accommodate the soaring use of AI models.

"As AI agents and experiences proliferate, they will naturally emerge closer to where customers interact and decisions are made – the branch office, retail store, factory floor, stadium, and more," said Cisco's Chief Product Officer Jeetu Patel.

Microsoft has entered into a $9.7 billion cloud services contract with artificial intelligence cloud service provider IREN that will give it access to some of Nvidia's chips.

The five-year deal, which includes a 20% prepayment, will help Microsoft as it looks to keep up with AI demand. Last week the software maker reported its quarterly sales grew 18% to $77.7 billion, beating Wall Street expectations while also surprising some investors with the huge amounts of money it is spending to expand its cloud computing infrastructure and address the growing need for AI tools.

Microsoft spent nearly $35 billion in the July-September quarter on capital expenditures to support AI and cloud demand, nearly half of that on computer chips and much of the rest related to data center real estate.

"IREN's expertise in building and operating a fully integrated AI cloud — from data centers to GPU stack — combined with their secured power capacity makes them a strategic partner," Jonathan Tinter, president of business development and ventures at Microsoft, said in a statement. "This collaboration unlocks new growth opportunities for both companies and the customers we serve."

Microsoft also announced new deal with OpenAI last week that pushed the Redmond, Washington, company to $4 trillion in valuation for the second time this year. The agreement gives the software giant a roughly 27% stake in OpenAI's new for-profit corporation but changes some of the details of their close partnership. Microsoft's $135 billion stake will be just ahead of the OpenAI nonprofit's $130 billion stake in the for-profit company.

IREN also said Monday that it signed a deal with Dell Technologies to buy the chips and ancillary equipment for about $5.8 billion. The Australian company anticipates the chips being deployed in phases through next year at its Childress, Texas campus.

Shares of IREN jumped 22% before the opening bell in the U.S. Shares of Microsoft rose slightly,.

Pat Boone shared a rare photo of himself and his daughters. On Nov. 2, the legendary singer posted to Instagram after spending the day with his daughters Cherry Lynn, Linda Lee, Debby, and Laury. The famous clan posed on the stairway of their longtime family home in Beverly Hills, with Papa Boone, 91, all smiles right in front.

"My four beautiful daughters came for a visit today to the house we've called home for 65 years," Boone captioned the photo. "Lots of stories, memories, and laughter. I'm a very proud daddy."

Fans and famous friends reacted to the post in the comment section, with one describing the photo as a "very special Daddy, Daughters picture." Others told Boone how "blessed" he was.

"Beautiful family ❤️❤️❤️," wrote pal Nancy Sinatra.

A post shared by Pat Boone (@thepatboone)

Boone married his wife, Shirley Foley, in 1953, and they welcomed their four daughters between 1954 and 1960. Shirley died at home in 2019 at age 84, surrounded by her family, according to People magazine.

Boone has been outspoken about his family life and how strict he was when he raised his daughters in the 1960s and '70s. In June, he shared a Facebook post for Father's Day as he looked back on his life as a dad of four girls and the set of "rules" he created when they were teenagers.

"Father's Day brings up a lot of memories," he wrote. "Imagine raising four teenage daughters at once! That's when we started the Pat Boone Family Act, so I could keep an eye on them, and we could sing together as a family."

"I'll never forget when we were on the Merv Griffin Show," the singer added. "He asked my girls what I was strictest about. One of them said, 'Respect.' The audience actually applauded. Cherry, our oldest, later said, 'Yes, we're missing out. We're missing out on trouble.' That moment stayed with me. I'm proud of that. I'm thankful for the home Shirley and I built and the values we shared with our girls."

In a 2024 interview with Baltimore Media Blog, Boone's daughter Debby—the most famous of the four sisters due to her 1977 hit song "You Light Up My Life"— revealed that her parents' "mission" was to keep their childhoods "as normal as possible."

When asked how she stayed "grounded" after having a massive solo hit when she was still a teenager, Debby told Closer Weekly, "Well, I was still living at home. My mom would say, 'You haven't cleaned the cat box in four days. Get upstairs.'"

Princess Kate Middleton's hidden hobby — and the way the royal spends her free time — is bringing authenticity and resilience to her public image, royal experts told Fox News Digital.

"Princess Catherine has many surprising hobbies and the majority of these align with her love for the great outdoors," royal expert Helena Chard told Fox News Digital. Kate has taken up the newest hobby of meditation, reportedly under the guidance of renowned photographer, Chris Levine.

"Princess Catherine says the practice can be just as beneficial as medication," Chard noted. "Meditation gives her balance and peace and is a winner when it comes to overcoming anxiety."

Kate's outdoors approach has been characterized as a "rural renaissance," royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital. "Her regular normal Britishness of her treasuring traditions rooted in the wholesomeness of the countryside render her even more appealing to middle-class families as well as rural voters who grew up with such authenticity and resilience."

Prince Philip Gave Kate Middleton Blunt Warning About Surviving Royal Life

Kate Middleton's hidden hobby and how she spends her time make her the most relatable royal, experts say.

"It's this most genuine sincerity, versus the seeking of status, that add to her overall appeal, reflected in YouGov polls with her being the most popular royal after Prince William," she added.

Although her connection to nature isn't new, royal commentator Amanda Matta told Fox News Digital it has become "more central" to the princess' public image in the last year.

"Framing time outdoors as her 'hobby' works because it's so accessible. Who can't achieve a walk in the woods?"

"It reinforces the idea of Kate as grounded and relatable, someone who genuinely enjoys the same simple pleasures as the rest of us," Matta added.

Prince William And Kate Middleton's Big Move Forces Two Families Out Of Their Homes

Princess Kate, Prince William and Prince Harry take part in a race during a training day for the Heads Together team for the London Marathon at Olympic Park on February 5, 2017.

Princess Kate also dabbles in a handful of additional hobbies – including sports.

"As far as other hobbies, I think people forget that Kate is genuinely sporty," Matta told Fox News Digital. "She's biked, windsurfed, rock-climbed, and gone abseiling in front of the cameras. There are also sweet stories about her playing rugby with her kids in the garden at Anmer Hall and going paddleboarding nearby."

"She once shared that her children's happiest moments are outdoors, whether it's catching tadpoles or baking in the garden, and that really encapsulates her priorities," Matta added. "She's the mom who would rather see her kids in muddy clothes than get too much screen time, as she recently referenced in her Center for Early Childhood essay on the 'epidemic of disconnection.'"

Kate has turned her royal duties into "something more human," according to Matta.

"Whether it's gardening at a charity visit or bug hunting alongside students, she makes engagements feel natural instead of ceremonial," the royal expert explained. "After a year defined by cancer recovery, Kate clearly wants to project groundedness and perspective. The outdoor imagery we keep seeing says a lot in that regard. It's a visual language of revitalization. Nature has become her shorthand for strength."

Kate Middleton takes part in a Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team abseiling training exercise on April 27, 2023, in Wales.

The princess revealed her cancer diagnosis in March 2024 and confirmed she was undergoing chemotherapy at the time.

By January 2025, the Princess of Wales was in remission.

"It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on recovery," she wrote in a statement shared on social media. "As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support."

Princess Kate joins in the preparation of campfire food during a visit to the Great Tower Scout camp at Newby Bridge in Cumbria on March 22, 2013.

Another reported passion for the princess is weightlifting "to strengthen her body core," royal expert and former royal photographer Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital — a must after her cancer recovery.

Prince William believes one of his wife's hobbies is the "craziest of them all." Apparently, Princess Kate enjoys swimming in extremely cold streams and pools in the dark.

"Kate thinks this is totally invigorating," Pelham Turner said.

"Prince William thinks she is amusing and slightly bonkers as she searches for cold water, even in rainy darkness," Chard confirmed. "It gives her a real mood boost."

Princess Kate Middleton is well liked by the British public.

Princess Kate's "down-to-earth personality" along with her collaborative, friendly and caring approach to life has given her a good position with the public.

"Catherine's positive attitude as she carries out Royal business, her early years work with passion, duty, commitment and hard work all with a bright smile is commendable," Chard noted.

"The future of the monarchy is bright with Princess Catherine and her husband at the helm and this is the news we should be shouting from the rooftops."

(Reuters) -Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Monday the Trump administration would shutter the U.S. aviation system if he thought an ongoing government shutdown was making it unsafe to travel.

"If we thought that it was unsafe... we'll shut the whole airspace down. We won't let people travel. We're not there at this point. It's just significant delays," Duffy told CNBC, adding "absolutely there's more risk" during the ongoing shutdown.
