Europe and UAE plan $1 billion orbital data center
Original: Europe and UAE plan $1 billion orbital data center with 50 connected "computers" and a central "LLM store" that allows users to select what open source model to use on data collected by satellite sensors
Europe and the United Arab Emirates are planning a $1 billion data center in orbit, built around 50 connected space-based computers. The project would include a central 'LLM store' letting users choose open source AI models to run directly on data gathered by satellite sensors, processing information in space rather than sending it back to Earth.
Why now: The combination of space infrastructure and in-orbit AI processing is a novel, ambitious collaboration drawing attention to the future of satellite data computing.
