Google launches first datacenter satellite and research that finds orbiting bit barns can work

Google has put an experimental data centre satellite into orbit alongside research evaluating the technical feasibility of extraterrestrial server deployments. The company's findings suggest that operational bit barns in space would require massive launch capacity from providers such as SpaceX, as well as solutions to intricate orbital networking and formation-flying hurdles.

Democratizing Managed Lustre with lower cost and frictionless development

Google Cloud has published details on democratising managed Lustre storage to reduce expenses and development friction across scalable enterprise workloads. Historically, high expenditure compelled AI practitioners to store colder datasets elsewhere and work within fragmented development environments. The hyperscaler aims to bring parallel filesystem performance, including terabyte-per-second throughput and sub-millisecond latency, to a wider array of users.

Top AI tech executives promise to ‘self-police’ AI development

Leaders from major technology firms including Nvidia, OpenAI, Meta, Google, Anthropic and SpaceXAI have signed a shared pledge in Washington to voluntarily regulate their model development. Known as the Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities, the agreement aims to foster safe artificial intelligence deployment without hindering innovation. United States President Donald Trump endorsed the self-regulatory framework as an effective method for balancing technological advances with public safeguards.
