Google is taking a bold step into the future with its latest project: launching solar-powered satellites equipped with its own tensor processing units (TPUs) into sun-synchronous orbit. This ambitious plan aims to create orbital AI datacenters, revolutionizing how we process data in space. By harnessing the power of AI in orbit, Google hopes to enhance computing capabilities and push the boundaries of technology. This moonshot could change the game for industries relying on massive data processing, making it an exciting development to watch.
