🚀 SpaceX and Nvidia build AI satellite hardware

SpaceX and Nvidia are creating hardware for the Starmind AI1 satellite to run AI tasks in low Earth orbit without ground servers. It uses Nvidia's Vera processors and Rubin GPUs, with the Space-1 Vera Rubin module offering up to 25 times the AI power of the H100. Commercial launches are planned by the end of the year.

SpaceX aims to build a network of up to a million satellites, forming a space-based supercomputer linked by petabit-scale lasers. The FCC filing proposes deployment between 500 and 2000 km altitude, making it the largest space project to date compared to about 15,000 active satellites now.
