SpaceX and xAI are reportedly in merger talks to exchange shares and pursue orbital AI data centers, potentially ahead of a SpaceX IPO this year.
Google on Tuesday announced a new moonshot - launching constellations of solar-powered satellites packed to the gills with its home-grown tensor processing units (TPUs) to form orbital AI datacenters. "In the future, space may be the best place to scale AI compute," Google executives wrote in a blog post, in which they explain that solar panels can be eight times more efficient in space than on Earth, and can produce power continuously.
