✨ The Missing Starlink Compute Number

In April, Starlink’s chips reportedly turned just 11% of peak computing power into useful training. Engineering chief Michael Nicolls called that “embarrassingly low” and set a 50% target.

Elon says the Grok stack has since been rewritten in C and C++, with pre-training written primarily by the Starlink software team and “probably best in industry.”

The key test is utilization across the 220,000 Nvidia GB300 chips Elon says each training hall holds. A figure above 45% would exceed the industry range cited by Business Insider. My prediction is that SpaceX or Elon will not publish the number by 31st December 2026.
