Google achieved a 'hello world' milestone for Project Suncatcher by successfully booting a TPU in orbit and receiving a haiku response.Summary
Sundar Pichai announced a 'hello world' milestone for Project Suncatcher, a long-term research moonshot exploring whether machine learning can be scaled using abundant solar energy in space. After launching a prototype satellite a few weeks ago, the team successfully sent a command to orbit, booted up a TPU, ran a prompt, and received the first complete response back on Earth—a haiku. Pichai noted that this is just the start and that many complex engineering challenges remain, such as radiation bit-flips and orbital thermal management. He congratulated the team on making this first test a reality.
