- The Verge · AIGoogle is sending an AI satellite into space next week
Google plans to launch an AI-equipped satellite next week, its first step toward running AI workloads from orbit. The post confirms the launch window and the project name (Project Suncatcher) but doesn't disclose which model runs onboard or the available compute.
