Google has successfully brought its first AI data center satellite online, marking an important milestone in its ambitious effort to move computing infrastructure beyond Earth. The experimental spacecraft has already processed its first AI prompt in orbit and sent the response back to engineers on the ground. The satellite is part of Google’s Project Suncatcher, a long-term research initiative exploring whether networks of solar-powered satellites could eventually operate as data centers in space. Built in partnership with Planet Labs, the prototype launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket earlier this month, alongside more than 100 other spacecraft. After approximately three...

Nvidia is expanding its open AI model portfolio with a new lineup designed to power autonomous AI agents across enterprise infrastructure and personal computers. The launch reflects the company’s growing focus on making AI agents easier to deploy, customize and run locally, rather than relying exclusively on proprietary models hosted in the cloud. The new releases include Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, a large model aimed at enterprise applications, alongside two smaller models in the Nemotron 3.5 Bolt family designed for local execution on AI-powered PCs and workstations. Nvidia says the models are optimized for agentic workflows, where AI systems must...
Hackers Breach OpenCode, Triggering Unexpected AI Bills for Developers
OpenCode, an open-source AI coding assistant that has been gaining popularity as an alternative to tools such as Claude Code and Cursor, has suffered a security breach that left some developers facing hundreds of dollars in unexpected AI charges. The incident affected 1.4% of users of OpenCode Console, the platform’s online service where developers can store API keys to connect AI models from providers including OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. According to OpenCode, attackers gained access to an older system and potentially obtained credentials that allowed them to make unauthorized requests to these services. The company said it had notified all...
