towards distributed and off-grid compute models.
As energy costs, land constraints and environmental pressures intensify, solutions that combine efficiency, sustainability and scalability are becoming increasingly critical. For Crusoe, launching its cloud into orbit marks the latest evolution of its mission to reimagine how compute resources are powered and deployed.
By integrating its AI infrastructure with Starcloud’ s orbital technology, the company is moving its data centre model from remote regions of Earth to the furthest possible edge – space itself.
As AI systems keep growing in scale and energy appetite, companies face mounting pressure to find power sources that won’ t strain electricity grids or pile on carbon emissions.
“ It’ s hard to know exactly when, it’ s 10 plus years – and I bet it’ s not more than 20 years,” Jeff says.
If he is right, the future of AI infrastructure might not be underground in vast server farms, but above us.
