Swiss Startup Validates In-Orbit Compute Capabilities

Swiss startup DPhi Space has successfully demonstrated its ability to host and operate a compute platform in orbit with its Clustergate-2 mission. The company hosted Liquid AI’s large language model, which analyzed an EO image without first transmitting it to the ground. This achievement marks a significant milestone in space-compute capabilities, enabling engineers to quickly upload and test software in space. DPhi plans to launch its production-class satellite, OmniSat, in late 2027, which will carry hosted sensors and NVIDIA GPUs. This development was first reported by Payload Space.
