SpaceX Space космос вселенная криптовалюты# The Qwen-3 AI model launched into space

Qwen-3 from Alibaba Cloud has become the world’s first AI model to be uploaded and operational in orbit. This was reported by SCMP.

Chinese startup Adaspace Technology deployed a neural network at a space computing center, which was part of the Star-Compute Project—a network of 2,800 satellites designed to power physical artificial intelligence and support training and inference.

The LLM completed several tasks, said Vice President Wang Yabo. According to him, the process of uploading prompts from Earth and receiving responses took less than two minutes.

Adaspace’s space center was launched in May 2025. It became the first in the world to form a group of 12 satellites for AI computing.

Space — the future of AI

Space is becoming a popular place for deploying AI hubs. However, in most cases, these are still just plans.

In January, Elon Musk announced that Tesla would resume work on Dojo3—a previously abandoned project to create a third-generation chip for electric vehicles. Now, its purpose is space computing.

Billionaire and several other company leaders believe that the future of data centers lies beyond Earth. In their view, the planet’s energy networks are approaching their limits.

Among the advantages are virtually unlimited access to solar energy and space for equipment deployment. The drawback is the high cost of rocket launches with the necessary infrastructure.

Analysts from the research group 33FG calculated that AI computing in orbit will become economically feasible by 2030.

One of the first to show interest was Google. The company announced plans to create a satellite network in low Earth orbit, which will generate energy to power data centers.

The idea is also supported by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, but Elon Musk has a strategic advantage—control over the delivery means.

The entrepreneur plans to use the upcoming SpaceX IPO to fund his idea of using Starship to launch computing satellite groups, which could operate under constant sunlight and collect energy around the clock.

Recall that in September 2024, the Institute for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Search turned to artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect signs of aliens.
