@rowancheung: 🛰️ A computer chip in space just sent a poem back to Earth. Google’s Project Suncatcher prototype ran its Gemma 4 AI model onboard a specialized chip and transmitted a haiku back to engineers. The goal is to explore whether satellites could power AI data centers using nearly continuous sunlight. But space creates major engineering challenges, including radiation and cooling electronics without air. Next come tests of heat and radiation, with two interconnected satellites planned for 2027. The poem demonstrates that the hardware can run a model in orbit, but reliable AI infrastructure in space will require much more than one response.
