AI Business and Development Weekly News Rundown: 💰SoftBank’s $22B OpenAI Sprint, Meta’s "Mango", The $61B Data Center Boom & Why Farmers Are Fighting AI (Dec 14 to Dec 21 2025)

This week on the AI Unraveled Weekly Rundown, the numbers are staggering. We break down SoftBank’s race to deploy $22.5 billion into OpenAI before the year ends, and the global record of $61 billion invested in data centers—a boom that is now causing land wars with farmers in Maryland.

We also cover the 2026 roadmap, including Meta’s leaked "Mango" and "Avocado" models, Google’s delay in upgrading Assistant to Gemini, and the US government’s probe into Nvidia H200 sales. Plus, ChatGPT hits $3 billion in mobile revenue, proving the consumer model works, even as developers struggle with "buggy" app stores.
