This definitely scratches the 'exciting future' itch. If the factory is the product, this one is the goat by at least two orders of magnitude.
The foundations for an exciting future are being built in Texas. Next up: Terafab → spacex.com/updates#terafab

Today we’re releasing Muse Spark Open, the most capable US open-weight model to date.
Built for coding and agentic work, it excels at long-horizon tasks, complex software engineering, and multi-step reasoning.
Key Model Specs:
→ 816B total / 42B active parameters
→ 1M token context window
→ Natively multimodal across text, image, video, audio

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?
I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev
• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions
AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

Orbital compute alone is a losing game near-term unless you have Starship. 10MW of solar + storage on the ground, no racks, buying every subsystem: ~$50M. Stick it in the desert, add Starlink, skip interconnect, EZ. To beat that from space you need 100 × 100kW sats for under $50M all-in. If you aren’t SpaceX, launch alone doesn’t close (yet).
Bullish long-term on Elon’s 99.99% thesis, but near term this creates an incentive that is likely to accelerate market consolidation from LV to end service. If you already fly a profitable, power-hungry constellation, adding compute, power, and radiators starts to work. Dedicated compute sats are the only ones that show up at hyperscaler scale. Everything else is ad-hoc.
Survival through the consolidation wave is winning, and the winners will be massive. @TurionSpace is in it to win it. 🫡
Should be an exciting next 5–10 years.

This started as a project for @DOGE about one year ago, and has come a long way since then. You will soon be able to search the entirety of federal law with AI, using any model of your choosing, even local models. Sign up for the waitlist and get notified when I launch LawSnipe.
China launched two hyperspectral satellites this week and is marketing the data to partner nations across Asia. The American answer cannot just be better sensors. It has to be faster fielding. @TurionSpace we plan on both 🫡

Space is the next frontier for harnessing technology to create abundance for planet Earth. And @TurionSpace is among the handful credible players who are at the front and centre of this bold endeavor! @RyanWesterdahl

DROID.002 successfully executed a live on-orbit evasive maneuver during Exercise SALITRE 2026 in response to a simulated threat, marking the first time a commercial satellite has demonstrated the capability in a combined multinational exercise.
The maneuver was coordinated with real-time alerts from the Joint Commercial Operations team, highlighting how commercial operators can contribute alongside government and international partners during complex space operations.
We're looking forward to continuing that work at PANAMAX 2026 later this summer.

We believe @TurionSpace is making history in #SpaceExploration for greater abundance of mankind!
@DecacornVC is their early backer and doubled up in the just minted Series B(oversubscribed).
Best wishes and grateful thanks to @RyanWesterdahl and the entire crew @TurionSpace
July 20, 1969: Proof that audacious dreams are the engine of human progress. 🚀
The Apollo 11 Moon landing wasn't just an engineering triumph; it proved that when we dare to aim for the impossible, we elevate our collective potential.
Every giant leap begins with people willing to solve uncharted problems.
Today, the Turion team is proud to carry that spirit forward, tackling the next generation of space challenges to build a sustainable future beyond Earth.
