Google launched a satellite to test whether data centers can run in space. The prototype satellite contains four of Google's artificial-intelligence chips, called Tensor. This technology is part of Google's ongoing efforts in AI research and development.

The company has also unveiled its latest AI model, Gemini 4 Argon, which delivers competitive benchmarks and aggressive pricing. However, the momentum in AI is shifting towards personal agents, with Meta's free Muse gaining traction over Alphabet-A's Spark.
