Europe and the United Arab Emirates are planning a $1 billion data center in orbit, built around 50 connected satellite computers. A central 'LLM store' would let users choose which open source AI model to run on data gathered by satellite sensors, processing information in space rather than beaming it all back to Earth. The project highlights growing interest in orbital computing for space-based data processing.

Open Source For You examines infrastructure processing units (IPUs), describing them as the unsung heroes of the modern data centre. The technology article explains how these dedicated processors offload networking, storage and security tasks from main CPUs, freeing them for application workloads as data centres scale and traffic grows.
