Google Project Suncatcher 卫星首次从太空传回 AI 生成回复
Google’s satellite AI server transmits its first response to Earth
Google 宣布其搭载 AI 芯片的 Project Suncatcher 卫星首次从太空生成回复：成功启动星载 TPU，由星载 Gemma 4 模型按提示词创作了一首关于身处太空的俳句。该卫星于本月初发射入轨，属于 Google 探索在太空部署 AI 数据中心的实验项目。Google 表示接下来将测试 TPU 在轨道上承受热应力和辐射照射的表现，并为 2027 年双星互联的下一个里程碑铺路。

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.”
