Startup Wants to Run AI Inference From Space
The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) is fueling a global data center boom and driving a surge in energy demand. But the electricity required to power data centers is straining the grid, pushing infrastructure operators to search for alternative sources of power. Some are even looking beyond Earth. One company that’s looking to the stars for energy is Orbital Inc. In mid-April, the Los Angeles–based startup emerged from stealth and announced plans to build spa
A startup named Orbital Inc. has announced plans to construct data centers in space to address the escalating energy demands of artificial intelligence. The company aims to leverage abundant solar energy in orbit to power AI inference tasks, circumventing terrestrial power grid limitations. Orbital envisions a constellation of small satellites, each equipped with solar panels and GPU servers, operating in low Earth orbit.
This initiative highlights a novel approach to meeting the significant energy needs of AI development, potentially alleviating pressure on Earth's power infrastructure.
