SpaceX shows off Starmind plan: 1M-satellite Starlink clusters with 10 Tb/s links for AI compute
XFreeze · x · 2026-10-07
SpaceX shared a visualization of its proposed 1-million-satellite Starlink constellation and detailed Starmind, an in-orbit AI compute architecture described by VP Michael Nicolls. Satellites would fly in tightly coordinated formations of roughly 10, each cluster wired with 10 terabits of inter-satellite bandwidth to combine compute into larger AI workloads while staying linked to the wider constellation.
