    Google is sending TPUs into orbit

    Google just revealed its Project Suncatcher moonshot is launching a prototype satellite aboard a SpaceX rocket to test how Trillium TPUs handle space. Ground tests show the chips survive radiation exceeding a five-year mission, with laser-linked clusters planned for 2027. Why it matters: Low Earth orbit gets up to 8x more solar energy, making space data centers a wild but serious bet against earthbound power limits.

    Google rolls out Trillium TPU for all cloud customers

    Google just made Trillium, its sixth-generation TPU, generally available on Google Cloud. The chip powers Google's flagship Gemini 2.0 model, delivering over 4x faster training and up to 3x higher inference throughput compared to the prior-gen TPU v5e. Why it matters: Google is ramping up the pressure on Nvidia by giving developers a massive, cost-effective alternative for training giant models.
