Google’s satellite AI server transmits its first response to Earth

Google says it successfully booted up the Tensor Processing Units on its Project Suncatcher satellite, allowing the on-board Gemma 4 model to generate a haiku about being in space. The test is part of an experimental initiative that could eventually put AI data centers in space, and Google plans further tests of TPU performance under thermal stress and radiation exposure, with a next milestone of twin interconnected satellites in 2027.
