"Compute in space will round up to 100%": Elon Musk backs future of AI compute
Sharing a video featuring Google's Senior Director, Paradigms of Intelligence Travis Beals, Musk said, "The amount of compute in space will obviously round up to 100% of all compute."
Space X and Tesla boss Elon Musk has made a futuristic prediction about compute claiming that most of it will move into outer space. The prediction came as Google announced Project Suncatcher its 'moonshot' to put AI in space . Sharing a video featuring Google's Senior Director, Paradigms of Intelligence Travis Beals, Musk said, "The amount of compute in space will obviously round up to 100% of all compute." Earlier in a post on X dated September 13, Musk said, "I am highly confident that SpaceX will be launching Nvidia VR NLV72 AI computers in space next year."
This is part of SpaceX's Starmind concept, which aims to establish AI data centres in orbit. According to SpaceX, Orbital satellite with localized compute that takes advantage of readily available power and cooling in space and beams back data via high-bandwidth lasers to the Starlink constellation. Meanwhile, Google on Thursday (local time) announced that Project Suncatcher is scheduled to embark on its first test in orbit, launching a prototype satellite to evaluate how Google Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) perform in space. The launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled for October 1.
