Google's Project Suncatcher Puts a TPU to Work in Orbit

Google's Project Suncatcher Boots TPUs in Orbit and Runs Gemma 4
OpenAI Will Honor Shared robots.txt Signal for AI Training Preferences
OpenAI Expands ChatGPT Violence-Prevention and Teen Safeguards

A Eye on AI - 4:06 PM
Google's Project Suncatcher satellite is online in orbit, and its four TPUs have run Google DeepMind's Gemma 4 model, producing a haiku and telemetry reports. We explain the power limits, radiation tests, and the planned 2027 twin-satellite milestone. Also: OpenAI will honor a shared robots.txt signal for AI training preferences, and it expanded ChatGPT violence-prevention and teen safeguards. Researchers from Microsoft Research and UC Berkeley released TokenEconomizer, an open-source controller that reports lower coding-agent costs on SWE-Bench. And Anthropic, OpenAI, Cloudflare and Google are converging on a find-disprove-patch design for AI security agents.
