Google's Suncatcher satellite writes poetry in orbit using Gemma 4

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Google's experimental data center satellite, Suncatcher, has successfully connected online and completed its initial mission. The satellite utilized one of its four Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) for approximately 20 minutes to write poetry using the Gemma 4 model and monitor its orbital environment. This mission aims to test the impact of space radiation on the chips, with plans for two additional satellites in 2027 if performance is validated. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates the potential for AI models to operate in space environments, paving the way for future space-based AI applications.

    Google's space data center demonstration satellite 'SunCatcher' connected to the online and performed its first mission. Only one of the four TPUs installed can operate for about 20 minutes at a time, and it wrote a poem to Gemma 4 from orbit and checked the orbital environment. Google tested the effects of space radiation on the chip, and if the performance is proven, it will be deployed in 2027.
