Google Project Suncatcher 卫星在太空首次运行 TPU 并生成回复
Google’s satellite AI server transmits its first response to Earth
Google 宣布其 Project Suncatcher 卫星成功启动星载 TPU，由星载 Gemma 4 模型生成了一首关于身处太空的俳句，并测试了其他太空主题提示词和遥测任务。该卫星于本月早些时候发射入轨，Google 接下来将测试 TPU 在轨道上承受热应力和辐射的能力，并计划在 2027 年实现双星互连的下一里程碑，长期目标是把 AI 数据中心送入太空。

Google’s AI chip-equipped satellite has generated its first response from space. In a blog post on Friday, Google says it successfully booted up the satellite’s Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), allowing the on-board Gemma 4 model to follow through on a prompt to create a haiku about being in space:

Data streams in silent grace
Starlight feeds my core. ✨
Google says it tried out other space-themed limericks and telemetry prompts as well. The test is part of Google’s Project Suncatcher, an experimental initiative that could eventually put AI data centers in space. Google launched the satellite into orbit earlier this month.
“Next, we will continue with a series of tests to evaluate how TPUs perform under thermal stress and radiation exposure in orbit,” Google says. “Verifying our TPUs can reliably execute workloads in space paves the way for our next milestone of twin interconnected satellites in 2027.”
