What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-09-22
Too early to adopt
- Why
- Heavily funded ($140M Series B led by Peter Thiel; ~$1B valuation, ~$210M total) and very high coverage, but zero operational hardware at sea and the core durability + bandwidth risks are unvalidated. Hype outruns evidence.
- Next
- Track the 2026 northern-Pacific Ocean-3 pilot for an independently measured uptime + $/kWh figure and real satellite egress throughput before treating offshore wave-powered inference as a viable compute substrate.
