China is launching a Three-Body Computing Constellation in orbit with 12 satellites embedded with an 8-billion-parameter AI model.
The satellites communicate through 100 Gbps laser links and process data much faster than conventional ground-based data centers.
The development of AI models in orbit raises concerns about orbital sovereignty and the potential for an arms race in advanced technologies.
The situation has shifted the battleground from physical locations to domains such as bandwidth, latency, and orbital control, prompting questions about the U.S.'s response and preparedness.
