Google thinks SpaceX's Starship has to launch 1,800 times before space data centers get off the ground | TechCrunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Google’s prototype of its orbital compute satellite took off today onboard a SpaceX rocket launched from California — the first time the tech giant has sent one of its advanced chips into space. Built by Planet Labs, the satellite will prove that a Google Tensor Processing Unit, its competitor to Nvidia’s GPUs, can function in space. That means supplying a kilowatt of continuous power, cooling the chip, and running a series of models through their paces to see if anything goes wrong. “We’ve done
Amazon releases its own Jev clone as decision models flood the web | TechCrunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Amazon Web Services released an open source decision model inspired by TypeSafe’s Jev, with AI developers increasingly seeking intelligence that is more suited to computer automation than frontier LLMs. Amazon’s Strands Decider 2B, released the same week OpenAI announced a similar offering, is a high-speed, low-cost way to sort between pre-decided options and deliver a measure of how confident it is in its choice. The model is fully open sourced, available now, and small enough to run locally. A

The way Rama Afullo tells it, he saw orbital data centers coming. The Kenyan American engineer previously worked in Google’s cloud computing business before a brief stint at SpaceX’s Starlink communications network in 2024. His experiences convinced him that there was untapped potential for computers in space. “When I was at SpaceX, I tried to pitch this internally. They said no. When I was at Google, I tried to pitch this internally. They said no,” he tells TechCrunch. So he left SpaceX and co-

One of the more intriguing announcements at OpenAI’s Dev Day event on Tuesday came in an aside from CEO Sam Altman, who revealed the company’s new “Decisions API.” The API apparently provides similar functionality to Jev, a model released by TypeSafe AI earlier this month that’s explicitly designed for software automation. A kind of super-powered classifier built on an LLM, developers can give Jev a set of choices that it outputs as probabilities cheaply and at high speeds. OpenAI’s Decisions AP
Destro AI's secret sauce is getting robots and humans on the same page | TechCrunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The best path to successfully deploying a robot is not building one at all, according to Destro, a startup that came out of stealth Tuesday with an $8 million seed round. Most new robotics companies are focused on finding the right form factor or developing an AI model that can put metal hands to work. Destro has instead built an AI intelligence layer that lets robots work effectively in logistics settings, in part by also telling the human workers what to do. “A lot of robotics companies starte
