Google Runs First AI Prompt in Orbit on Project Suncatcher Prototype Satellite
Google has successfully executed its first AI prompt in space using its Project Suncatcher prototype satellite. The system relies on Tensor Processing Units and Google DeepMind's Gemma 4 model. The test is designed to determine whether AI computing can function in orbit despite radiation, heat, and power limitations. Google intends to launch two additional satellites equipped with laser links in 2027. The effort supports the company's broader goal of building solar-powered data centres in orbit for future AI workloads.
