Booz Allen Hamilton, a US company specializing in intelligence and counterintelligence in the field of electronic services, reported the successful deployment of generative AI on the International Space Station. The AI ​​runs on an HPE server, the updated configuration of which was delivered to the ISS in January 2024. The AI ​​on the station will assist the crew and provide initial processing of data collected by the station.

Booz Allen Hamilton’s Large Language Model (LLM) runs on HPE Edgeline EL4000 single GPU and HPE DL360 Gen10 x86 servers. The platform received an SSD block from KIOXIA with a capacity of 130 Tbytes, an impressive figure compared to previous times. This will help collect and process more data on the ISS, which promises to reduce the volume of data transmitted to Earth by up to 30,000 times. The ISS computer will send mainly ready-made results from analytics and other summary results, instead of the original raw material as before.

“Generative AI in space is truly a new frontier, and this opportunity unlocks the potential of generative AI in orbit to integrate and enhance mission-critical solutions and aligns with Booz Allen Hamilton’s mission to create human-centered AI solutions that will advance our nation.” — The company, widely known as the employer of Edward Stone (Edward Snowden), reported this.

According to the company, the model, which was developed in just over eight weeks, will help front-line crews efficiently obtain the necessary information, understand the essence of tasks and solve complex problems using natural language processing. In the future, such experiences will help autonomous settlements in the depths of the solar system and in the future, and it all starts here and now.
