SpaceX commits to exclusive Nvidia GPUs for AI, targets 2 GW by 2026 and 10 GW by 2027

SpaceX Nvidia AI compute Starmind satellite 10 GW target

Elon Musk announced that SpaceX will use Nvidia GPUs and the Vera Rubin platform exclusively for its artificial‑intelligence infrastructure. The company plans to install more than 2 gigawatts of AI compute capacity by the end of 2026 and scale to 10 gigawatts by the end of 2027, including deployments on its planned Starmind AI1 satellite constellation.

In the second‑quarter earnings call, SpaceX reported a net loss of $5.488 billion for the first half of 2026, while revenue rose 92 % to $7.814 billion. Capital expenditure reached $18.37 billion, of which $15.828 billion was spent on AI‑related infrastructure. The partnership with Nvidia will equip each Starmind satellite with Rubin GPUs and Vera CPUs, supporting on‑orbit AI processing and a long‑term goal of up to one million satellites. Starlink’s growth was highlighted as a key revenue driver, and Musk reiterated the ambition to reach $1 trillion in annual sales by 2030.
