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.
