What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20
Too early to adopt
- Why
- Genuine first-of-kind demonstration (H100 + LLM training/inference in orbit), but it is a single small-sat pilot whose entire economic case is gated on launch costs and an unsolved cooling-at-scale problem — no production orbital compute to consume.
- Next
- Track Starcloud-2 (October 2026 launch) thermal + multi-GPU/Blackwell results; revisit only if a deployable-radiator cluster sustains tens of kW on orbit and Starship pricing materializes.
