Project Suncatcher is a Google research effort to power AI compute in space. Its prototype satellite launched on 1 October 2026 and, after commissioning, returned the first AI response from a data-center-class TPU in orbit: a haiku from the onboard Gemma 4 open model, downlinked over Svalbard. Next come thermal-stress and radiation tests, then twin interconnected satellites in 2027.

Open-source Python CLI (`tra`) for autonomous trading desks in which LLM analysts (technical, macro, on-chain, sentiment) and validators only give opinions on figures the system computed.

It supports multiple model providers with per-role models, effort settings and fallbacks.

Reports Microsoft's Maia 300, its third-generation in-house AI accelerator, unveiled October 12, 2026 with production workloads from 2027. Microsoft claims 40% more tokens per megawatt than leading GPU systems and up to 7x Maia 200's rack-level token throughput in a 96-accelerator rack. It uses a chiplet design on TSMC N2P that separates compute, memory-controller and I/O. It is aimed at long-context reasoning and agentic inference, while Nvidia and AMD stay in place for training. Useful as a data point on the shift toward custom inference silicon and model-chip co-design.
