Our TPUs just phoned home... from space.

ICYMI, on October 1, we sent four TPUs into orbit to test whether our AI hardware could operate in space. The initial goal was to see if our chips could turn on, process a prompt, and transmit a response back to Earth.

This week, we got estone brings us one step closer to understanding if space-based compute is possible. We’re sending two more TPU-equipped satellites to orbit in 2027 for our next milestone.

Watch this space 👀 and learn more about the first milestone of our long-term moonshot with Project Suncatcher ↓

Today, we’re announcing the next phase of our autonomous driving collaboration with @ToyotaMotorCorp to scale a fleet of bZ4X autonomous vehicles in Japan, beginning with testing and validation in 2027.
