- Elon Musk responded to a recap of his goal of 10 gigawatts of compute by end of 2027 with: "Maybe more than 10GW."
- Jensen Huang said Nvidia has reclassified SpaceX from "enterprise" to its cloud service provider (CSP) category: Musk trains and deploys his own models (including Grok) on Nvidia tech, rents capacity out, and demand for GrokBot is "really skyrocketing" — a three-way usage he calls fairly unique among customers.
- Nvidia and SpaceX engineers are jointly designing a server built for space, aiming to put compute in orbit.
