Just when it looked like the year was finally winding down, AI decided to drop one last round of chaos.
In this final roundup of the year, I’m breaking down the biggest late-stage AI stories; including the NVIDIA/Groq $20B situation, major model updates, hardware moves, and a few headlines that got wildly misunderstood along the way.
No hype, no panic… just what actually happened, why it matters, and how it sets the stage for what’s coming next!
Thanks for nerding out with me all year. Let’s wrap this thing up!
