Guoxing Aerospace launched 12 satellites in one rocket! The Space Computing Constellation 021 mission was a complete success!
On 2025 May 14, at 12:12 Beijing time, Guoxing Aerospace successfully launched 12 satellites for the Space Computing Constellation 021 mission using the Long March 2D carrier rocket at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The satellites entered their predetermined orbit, marking the successful launch of the world’s first space computing constellation.

The successful completion of the initial constellation launch mission will usher in a new era of “space computing” globally.

From 0 to 1, the world’s first space computing constellation was successfully launched.

The Space Computing Constellation 021 mission is the first launch of Guoxing Aerospace’s “XingSuan” plan and also the first launch of the Zhejiang Laboratory’s “Three-Body Computing Constellation”. This initial constellation is a joint construction of Guoxing Aerospace, Zhejiang Laboratory, and Neijiang High-Tech Zone, and consists of 12 computing satellites developed by Guoxing Aerospace, including:

• Neijiang (XingShiDai-27)
• Neijiang High-Tech (XingShiDai-28)
• Taizhou (XingShiDai-29)
• Haikou (XingShiDai-30)
• Ma’anshan ZhiSuan 1 (XingShiDai-31)
• Chongzhou (XingShiDai-32)
• TianTie Technology (XingShiDai-33)
• Miyanyuwuchangyuan (XingShiDai-34)
• YuKongZhe (XingShiDai-35)
• “DaLingHaoBay” Star (XingShiDai-36)
• Zhejiang 1 (XingShiDai-37)
• Zhejiang 2 (XingShiDai-38)

Guoxing Aerospace’s “XingSuan” plan has launched its first constellation of 12 satellites in one orbit.

The mission code “021” refers to the transition from 0 to 1, symbolizing the breakthrough of achieving the world’s first space computing constellation.

“Artificial intelligence should not be absent from space due to a lack of computing power,” said Wang Jian, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of Zhejiang Laboratory. The construction of the space computing constellation will enable a single satellite to play a greater value, which has far-reaching significance for the transformation of the aerospace industry.

… The Canary channel is where Microsoft tries out its latest builds of Windows, and there’s no guarantee that anything in the Windows Insider program will ever see the light of day. …

Arguably about 100 fold improvement over "diffusion models” like OpenAl’s SORA and Google’s VEO 2.
Such major improvements are to be expected in my opinion in the future of artificial intelligence.

TLDR : The author concludes he doesn’t know after a long detour arguing with himself that we are somewhat irreplaceable.

(…) labor can be immiserated and wages are driven to zero (…)

When students progress in school, they are no longer interested in simple problems and need harder problems as challenges to stay motivated. They got something similar in their work :

Eventually, we will ask a question to one of those systems and they will consider us with disdain.

Also, for what i read in their work, elaborating such systems becomes more and more convoluted. Eventually, people working on these things, will lose the trail of what they did before. So, they will forget why they came to do something one specific way.

OpenAI, which until now has been a fierce defender of closed, proprietary models (…)

it’s like when Google said : “don’t be evil” but what they meant was : “don’t you be fucking evil, leave that to us”

Conclusion : under supervision, AI (LLMs) is useful to most programmers (including me !)

just a taste :

(…) The team found that Claude used components independent of any language to answer a question or solve a problem and then picked a specific language when it replied. Ask it “What is the opposite of small?” in English, French, and Chinese and Claude will first use the language-neutral components related to “smallness” and “opposites” to come up with an answer. (…)

(…) without robbing me of the chance to lean learn.

i got confused myself … first I thought it was about CAD software … then read many comments … then noticed something was wrong … then looked again carefully at this image of wiki and thought : okay, this is confusing … I can say more … do not know more.

Confusingly, this post is about (animation) movie creation software. Namely : Maya (from Autodesk) v.s. blender

i agree there are many works in AI which are far different from large language models but I saw some bad comments negating any potential for artificial intelligence so I’m happy to see we agree on this.

As for “causation”, maybe we can agree there are many levels of causation … like what’s the cause of the cause … i will not be surprised when we see artificial systems good at this game. i will not be surprised either when robots, driven by artificial intelligence, begin to read the world by themselves, then, built new models of advance robots and evolve by themselves.

(…) Aardvark has been developed by researchers from the University of Cambridge (UK) supported by the Alan Turing Institute (UK), Microsoft Research (USA ?) and the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (EU) (…)

So it is safe from USA’s collapse in science.

(…) But with Aardvark, researchers have replaced the entire weather prediction pipeline with a single, simple machine learning model. The new model takes in observations from satellites, weather stations and other sensors and outputs both global and local forecasts. This fully AI driven approach means that predictions are now achievable in minutes on a desktop computer. (…)

a.i. is so far from simple “word completion”.

Since humans have made many horrendous things we will easily agree on some things we would want to change in humanity. Yet, at some point, it’s difficult to define exactly what would be better … what would be more “productive” as you wrote.
