Polymarket · x · 2026-08-25
Polymarket shows an 18% chance that AI data centers will be launched into orbit by the end of 2027. This prediction is based on progress from companies like Starcloud, whose Starcloud-1 satellite completed in-orbit LLM training, and Starcloud-2 is slated for a January 2027 launch. An orbital data center is defined as a spacecraft carrying at least 100 data-center-grade AI accelerators.
