Google announces haiku response in orbital TPU test
Google says it launched four chips into orbit in early October; CEO Sundar Pichai describes the test.
TLDR
In early October, Google says it sent four TPUs into orbit to test whether its AI hardware could turn on, process a prompt and send a reply to Earth. CEO Sundar Pichai says the Project Suncatcher team completed that sequence and received a haiku. Alt text for Google's graphic describes a solar-powered TPU running Gemma. Pichai's account describes a test of a TPU, not a result for all four chips.
