Google is sending a teensy-tiny AI data center to space

Google is launching a small AI data center into space through a SpaceX mission. This experiment involves sending TPUs into orbit to determine how the chips withstand the harsh vacuum of the cosmos. The project aims to test whether solar-powered orbital data centers can effectively address the increasing power demands of AI. By utilizing SpaceX for the launch, Google seeks to evaluate the viability of space-based infrastructure for processing AI workloads outside of Earth's atmosphere.
