Google's Suncatcher satellite ran Gemma 4 on a TPU in orbit, but power limits let a chip run for only about 20 minutes at a time.
Google's Project Suncatcher satellite has successfully generated its first AI response in orbit, marking a milestone in AI in space research.
Project Suncatcher will test TPU resilience against radiation and thermal stress before potentially launching two advanced-chip satellites in 2027.
AI poetry proves the system works, but finances remain unclear
Project Suncatcher prototype is part of growing race to place artificial intelligence in orbit
