1. Nvidia NVLink Spine: When Hardware Outpaces the Internet
The first story belongs to the green giant of the hardware world. Last night, Nvidia unveiled a new technology called NVLink Spine. But why does this matter?
Traffic Exceeding the Global Internet
Jensen Huang dropped a sentence during the keynote that will likely be the headline of every tech outlet in 2026:
"This new switch system is capable of moving more data volume than the total traffic of the entire global internet per second."
Let’s digest that. Combine all YouTube videos, all Netflix streams, every WhatsApp message, and every Steam download occurring globally right now; the bandwidth of NVLink Spine exceeds them all.
This technology will essentially serve as the "backbone" of future AI data centers. Until today, the main bottleneck in training AI models (like GPT-5 or Claude 4) was that while GPUs were fast, the "communication" between them was slow. It was like having a thousand Ferraris stuck in gridlock traffic.
With NVLink Spine, Nvidia has effectively eliminated traffic. This system allows 72 Blackwell GPUs to function as if they were a single super-chip. This means AI models that used to take months to train will now be ready in days. For gamers, this signals the arrival of games with fully sentient NPCs thinking in real-time much sooner than anticipated.
2. Elon Musk’s Persian Surprise: Grok Goes Fluent
The second story is particularly exciting for our Iranian audience at TekinGame. The AI model Grok (owned by Elon Musk’s xAI), famous for being "blunt" and "uncensored," officially added full support for the Persian language in last night's update.
Why is Persian Grok Important?
Until now, we had ChatGPT and Claude, which understood Persian well but often sounded "bookish," "dry," or overly "preachy."
According to initial tests by the TekinGame team, the Persian version of Grok has unique features:
- Conversational Tone: Grok can speak with slang and colloquial Persian idioms, making it feel more human.
- Live X Access: When asked about breaking news in Iran, Grok directly analyzes real-time Persian tweets and responds. This is a capability ChatGPT lacks.
- More Freedom of Speech: Unlike Google or OpenAI models, which are highly sensitive about certain political or social topics, Grok is designed with Musk’s philosophy and provides more direct answers.
This update could turn Grok into a serious competitor to ChatGPT in the Persian market, especially for users seeking unfiltered news analysis.
3. Cloud Wars: Amazon's $100 Billion Check for OpenAI
While we were sleeping, Wall Street was wide awake. Credible reports indicate that Amazon is in talks for a staggering $100 billion investment in OpenAI.
A Stab in Microsoft's Back?
Until today, Microsoft was OpenAI’s biggest partner. However, it seems Sam Altman (OpenAI CEO) is seeking more independence and doesn't want to keep all his eggs in Microsoft’s basket.
If this deal goes through:
1. Amazon's AWS cloud infrastructure will host a portion of ChatGPT’s processing.
2. The rivalry between cloud giants (Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Amazon AWS) will enter a bloody phase.
3. OpenAI becomes the most valuable startup in human history (valued higher than the GDP of many nations).
There are also rumors that OpenAI is raising a new round at a $750 billion valuation. For comparison, that figure is higher than Tesla or Meta’s market cap at certain points in history. Are we watching an "AI Bubble," or is the tech truly worth it? Time will tell.
4. Claude in Chrome: The End of Bugs?
The next story is for programmers and web developers. Anthropic (the creator of Claude) has unveiled a revolutionary extension for the Chrome browser.
Live Debugging in the Browser
Imagine you are designing a website, and your code isn't working. Yesterday, you had to copy the code, paste it into ChatGPT, and wait for an answer.
But with the new Claude tool directly integrated into Google Chrome DevTools, the AI sees the page simultaneously with you.
This assistant can:
1. Analyze Console Errors in real-time.
2. Suggest exactly which line of CSS or JavaScript is breaking the layout.
3. Even automatically write the fixed code.
Alongside this, new models like Mistral OCR 3 (which we will cover in a full tutorial at 11:00 AM) with a 74% accuracy rate in reading handwriting and tables, show that AI tools have moved past the "entertainment" phase and become tools of "production."
5. Security Alert: Hackers in Police Uniforms (Fake EDR)
But not all news today is sweet. TekinGame’s security division (Night Tekin) reports that a new hacking method is spreading, fooling even the tech giants.
Fake Emergency Data Requests (EDR)
Companies like Apple, Google, and Meta have a special portal for police to request user data immediately without a court order in life-or-death situations (like suicide risks or kidnappings).
Hackers (specifically the Lapsus$ group) are now hacking into official police email accounts in various countries to send fake requests to these companies.
"Hello Google, this is a life-or-death emergency. Send User X's address and chats immediately."
And Google, seeing the request come from an official police email, hands over the data!
This method proves that the cybersecurity chain is only as strong as its weakest link (usually the human factor). Meanwhile, Chinese hackers are exploiting Zero-day vulnerabilities in Cisco routers.
6. The End of a Dream: iRobot Files for Bankruptcy
Finally, sad news for smart home gadget lovers. iRobot, the creator of the Roomba robotic vacuums that once symbolized the smart home, has officially filed for bankruptcy.
Why Do Pioneers Die?
The story of iRobot is a lesson for all businesses. They were the first, but they didn't stay the best.
1. The Chinese Invasion: Brands like Roborock and Dreame captured the market with lower prices and higher technology (like self-washing mops and AI cameras).
2. The Failed Amazon Deal: Amazon was supposed to acquire the company, but European regulators blocked it.
Now, iRobot, the company that 20 years ago promised we would never sweep again, has become history itself.
Conclusion & Today's Agenda
Monday, December 22, started with heavy news. Nvidia pushed the boundaries of hardware, Grok learned our language, and iRobot said goodbye. The pace of technological change is such that morning news becomes old by nightfall.
