Inside The Startup Launching AI Into Space

Про цей епізод

<p>Starcloud recently made history by launching a satellite with an NVIDIA H100 into orbit — the first time a GPU that powerful has ever operated in space. It&#39;s the first step toward building AI data centers in orbit, powered by continuous sunlight and cooled by radiating heat into deep space.Their approach could one day rival the world&#39;s biggest data centers while using less energy, zero fresh water, and far lower emissions.In this episode of Hard Tech, YC&#39;s Aaron Epstein visits Starcloud&#39;s HQ, where co-founders Philip Johnston, Ezra Feilden, and Adi Oltean explain how they built a working prototype in just 15 months — and why big tech is racing to space for AI compute.</p>
