Elon Musk said in an Oct. 15 post on X that the Star Mind AI computer co-engineered by SpaceX and Nvidia is "far better than almost anyone expects" and will reach volume production next year, while the TechNews article body dates volume production to 2027. According to information Nvidia previously published, SpaceX is advancing the Star Mind satellite computing system using a space-optimized Vera Rubin NVL72 architecture combining Vera CPUs and Rubin GPUs to extend high-performance AI computing from ground data centers into orbit. Citing foreign media, the report says the first custom satellite built for the space environment is expected to launch in the fourth quarter of 2027, with scaled operation hoped for in 2028, though the technology remains in development and actual specifications and commercial benefits are unconfirmed.
