This sounds insane for about thirty seconds⊠then you realize it actually makes sense.
AI compute in space means energy, cooling, satellites, data infrastructure and defense all start overlapping.
Thatâs not sci-fi anymore. Thatâs infrastructure being pushed into a whole new arena. đ
Weâre sending TPUs to space (yes, really).
After years of research, weâre launching a satellite to evaluate if and how Google Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) hold up in orbit.
The test mission, as part of our latest moonshot â Project Suncatcher â is designed to gather data exploring how we can one day host machine learning infrastructure in space.
