Googleās Space AI Chips: Orbiting Servers Burn Solar Fuel, Not Your Power Bill
Googleās Project Suncatcher is aiming for the starsāliterallyāby plopping AI chips on solar-powered satellites orbiting Earth to dodge those pesky power bills and carbon emissions.Will 'Tensor Processing Units' ride the space wave by 2027 with Planetās help? Picture satellites so buddy-buddy they fly kilometers apart (almost close enough for awkward encounters), shooting tens of terabits per second data faster than your WiFi nightmares. Radiation toughened TPUs claim to survive 5 years in space with no smoking circuits, which is better than my last phone. Pricey now but maybe by 2030s, space datacenters will cost about as much as Earth onesāminus your monthly rage at utility companies.
