Partnership
SpaceX x NVIDIA — Starmind AI1 Orbital Computing
SpaceXAI and NVIDIA have co-designed a space-optimized Vera Rubin NVL72 rack-scale system for orbital deployment. The first-generation Starmind AI1 satellite will launch to orbit in Q4 2027 with significant scale in 2028. SpaceXAI will also deploy NVIDIA Vera CPUs (88 Olympus cores, first CPU built for AI agents) to accelerate agentic AI workloads including orchestration, code execution, and data processing behind Grok. SpaceXAI is scaling toward gigawatts of computing capacity using the Vera Rubin platform across terrestrial data centers and orbital infrastructure.
