A ‘hello world’ milestone for Project Suncatcher 🚀
After launching our prototype satellite a few weeks ago, we’ve now successfully sent a command up to orbit, booted up the TPU, ran the prompt, and received our first complete response back on earth - a haiku!
Up, up, and away. 🚀
Today, in partnership with @planet, we launched a prototype satellite carrying four TPUs into orbit on @SpaceX's Transporter-18 rideshare mission. This launch is the first step of Project Suncatcher, our long-term research moonshot to see whether we can one day host scalable machine learning infrastructure in space.
Over the coming weeks, we'll gather in-orbit data on how our TPUs handle the physical stress, radiation, and thermal extremes of space. Whatever we learn, we'll use it to refine our future designs.
The future of transport is safer, more enjoyable & gives you more time back

Thought I’d RT this with some thoughts
- 1000% embrace AI, bug bounty is competitive and now everyone is using AI to keep up you also need to adopt AI or find a program that’s not been mined dry of findings from AI
- Avoid any programs dropping the reward amounts - suggests a lot of people are getting AI findings, which you may think wait isn’t that a good thing that means there’s lots of bugs. But anyone starting now will be behind from a infrastructure perspective imo
- Follow other hackers on social media, focus on what they’re finding, jump on new research ASAP, build systems that can handle finding, exploiting and confirming a single vulnerability across different programs, you don’t need to go to conferences yourself email people asking for slide decks, you need to be at the forefront to be competitive
- Make sure you’re learning your fundamentals, understand how a web app is created from code, to deployment, you need to have BROAD knowledge right now, you might think but Katie can’t I use AI for that but the problem is if you want REALLY good results from AI you need to be able to prompt it in a technical way, if you use basic words you’ll get basic answers (h/t to my colleague Kurt for this one)
- Carve a niche out for yourself of what you find interesting, bug bounty has always been ROUGH for burn out and everyone bounces off of bug bounty for a bit, but you need to keep it interesting
- Never limit yourself to one platform or program, while it can be good to have loyalty it’s not really rewarded as much as it used to be
- Move on as soon as you submit a bug to the next one, I’ve seen lots of new hackers hyper fixate on one bug and never move onto the next one
- If you really want to make serious money treat bug bounty not as a job but as a stepping stone to get a full time job in InfoSec, right now things are changing A LOT and a SOC or AppSec job will probably still be here in a year, but pentesting has changed rapidly in the last year
