SpaceX to use NVIDIA GPUs for its Starmind project — Here's what they'll face in space
Elon Musk wants to harness solar energy for AI. The AI race has its sights on the stars, as companies push to migrate the world's networks to orbit. It's sold as a catchall solution for many of the industry's limiting factors, including land scarcity and environmental concerns and power shortages. One of the movement's most vocal proponents is Elon Musk, whose firm SpaceX recently filed an application with the FCC to launch a data center with up to a million satellites into orbit. Dubbed Starmind, SpaceX's orbital data center project looks to be the company's most ambitious yet. Eventually, Starmind will likely depend on SpaceX's Terafab, a $119 billion joint chip manufacturing plant with Musk's Tesla. In the meantime, however, SpaceX will lean on NVIDIA to meet its expedient timeline. Dur
