AI moves into orbit and onto local hardware
Google is preparing to launch a Project Suncatcher prototype aboard a SpaceX rocket on Oct. 1. The satellite will carry four tensor processing units to test whether AI computing can operate in orbit. Limited power, cooling constraints, and launch costs remain substantial obstacles to making space-based computing practical.
Back on Earth, Apple’s M5 Ultra Mac Studio is targeting large...
