I don't think that it is harder than putting 10K nodes of Nvidia B300 in space. But who knows, they might manage to make it work. A lot of people also thought that reusable rockets would not be profitable back in the day.

But what I am saying is that they don't need to compete with regular datacenters for the project to make sense. Even if it is more expensive and the performance is worse, there are benefits to having an AI model running in space, and there will be people willing to pay for that.

@levelsio The solution: AAA batteries🔋(and million of satellites to carry them)

@levelsio AND in a politically stable jurisdiction at that.

You get it, you build, then some activist political party nuke the project two years down the line

If you're just doing smaller inference it's incredibly easy in many places.

It's much easier than trying to get a half dozen government agencies and international groups to just sign off on that much orbital capacity.

The idea that low earth orbit is just some kind of wild frontier isn't the reality.

@levelsio for now, it's hard, hopefully advances in superconducting materials will help us get more places wired up!

@levelsio is everyone just a bureaucratic nightmare now?

@levelsio click on a worker, select grid line, hold ur LMB and drag it until it's connected, release, wait, fry a deep frozen steak, enjoy

@levelsio From where is the energy needed to run a data center in space supposed to come? Is anyone talking seriously here? Can't really tell anymore

@levelsio 感觉还可以，可以包给中国。

@levelsio

@levelsio Its not hard to connect to the grit, they just don't let you do it in most places. Taking or giving.

Its now easier to don't get a ac converter and just keep the dc add a battery and have solar panels plus battery outside of the grit.

Because then there is no regulation yet.

@levelsio This feels like a people problem disguised as a technology problem.

@levelsio This is the unglamorous AI bottleneck. Everyone argues about model freedom while grid permits quietly decide where intelligence can actually run.
