Optimus may utilise compute resources such as physical cloud computing infrastructure distributed across Starlink’s large-scale satellite constellation. This will enable Optimus to undergo high-performance AI training from anywhere in the world, even in areas lacking ground infrastructure.

The Starlink constellation is a fascinating SpaceX technology, definitely recommend reading the entire thread on X here:
