Our TPUs are headed to space!  Inspired by our history of moonshots, from quantum computing to autonomous driving, Project Suncatcher is exploring how we could one day build scalable ML compute systems in space, harnessing more of the sun’s power (which emits more power than 100 trillion times humanity’s total electricity production). Like any moonshot, it’s going to require us to solve a lot of complex engineering challenges. Early research shows our Trillium-generation TPUs (our tensor processing units, purpose-built for AI) survived without damage when tested in a particle accelerator to simulate low-earth orbit levels of radiation. However, significant challenges still remain like thermal management and on-orbit system reliability.  More testing and breakthroughs will be needed as we count down to launch two prototype satellites with @planet by early 2027, our next milestone of many. Excited for us to be a part of all the innovation happening in (this) space!

Oh HEY. 👋 According to the @elitanjourno at the NYT, local news is not dying in SF. As the EIC at @SFGate — SF's most visited media site (and the largest free outlet on the ENTIRE West Coast) — just wanted to say it's true, plus update you on how "not dying" we are 👇 🧵

With this Rogers Place Crowd you almost don't need an anthem singer. This is what the Canadian National Anthem sounds like for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. #LetsGoOilers #Timetohunt

.@Google is fully in our Gemini era. I was blown away at #GoogleIO by what our #AI tools can do and felt like I'd been teleported to the future. See below for some of the incredible features we launched yesterday! #MachineLearning #technology blog.google/inside-google/me…

What if your photos could answer your questions? 🤔 At #GoogleIO today, we announced Ask Photos, a new Google Photos feature that does just that. Ask Photos is the new way to search your photos with the help of Gemini. #AskPhotos goo.gle/44FKRtM

We look forward to working with the EU towards a more sustainable future for everyone. We were pleased to share milestones towards 24/7 carbon-free energy last month, including our largest offshore wind project yet, and look forward to supporting Europe’s carbon-neutral ambition.

“The Narrows” - @SuperRare. This particular shot has never been taken before. Taken at almost 3 miles above NYC in a 🚁 with the doors open. The pilot had to be on Oxygen to legally and safely pilot the aircraft. This is the result of a highly planned and coordinated photo shoot.
