China builds first AI supercomputer in space

China has just launched the first 12 satellites in its plan to build a network of artificial intelligence supercomputers in space.

The 12 satellites launched from the Long March 2D rocket on May 14 are the first step in a network of 2,800 AI satellites. (Photo: Live Science)

They use the cold vacuum of space as a natural cooling system for computing tasks. (Photo: Daily Express)

The total capacity of the system can reach 1,000 petaFLOPS, far surpassing many supercomputers on Earth. (Photo: Live Science)

Each satellite contains an 8 billion parameter AI model, processing up to 744 TOPS and can increase to 5 petaOPS when combined. (Photo: Daily Express)

If it operates as planned, this will be the world's first commercial-scale space computing system. (Photo: The US Sun)
