美国公司计划在月球表面首次运行大型语言模型

美国月球机器人公司Astrolab开发的FLIP漫游车计划最早于2026年11月前往月球，搭载惠普企业公司（HPE）开发的Spaceborne-4高性能计算机，这将是首次在月球表面运行大型语言模型。1FLIP漫游车总重480千克，设计可在月球恶劣环境中存活至少150小时，任务计划持续十天。1这套AI系统将通过大型语言模型实现月球车的自主导航和智能决策，从而克服地球与月球之间通信延迟问题。1

月球表面的极端环境对计算设备提出了严峻挑战。1月球南极温度范围在80摄氏度至零下200摄氏度之间，月球表面的宇宙辐射强度是国际空间站内部的近三倍。1Spaceborne-4计算机采用64位CPU和GPU架构，HPE已在国际空间站上成功测试了三台Spaceborne计算机，其中Spaceborne-2和Spaceborne-3分别于2021年和2024年发射，已在空间站运行Meta Llama 3.2大型语言模型超过两年。1此前，中国嫦娥六号月球车于2024年在月球背面着陆时采用了基础AI算法进行自主导航。1

Astrolab's FLIP lunar rover is scheduled to arrive on the Moon no earlier than November 2026, carrying a high-performance computing system developed by HPE that will mark the first deployment of large language models on the lunar surface.1 The rover, weighing 480 kilograms, is engineered to survive the Moon's harsh environment for at least 150 hours.1 The HPE Spaceborne-4 computer aboard the rover features a 64-bit CPU and GPU designed to run AI algorithms that enable autonomous navigation and intelligent decision-making, addressing communication delays between Earth and the Moon.1

The lunar environment presents extreme challenges for the mission. Temperatures at the Moon's south polar region range from 80 degrees Celsius to minus 200 degrees Celsius, while cosmic radiation intensity on the lunar surface is nearly three times greater than inside the International Space Station.1 HPE has previously validated the viability of its Spaceborne computing systems in space, having tested three units aboard the ISS, with Spaceborne-2 and Spaceborne-3 launched in 2021 and 2024 respectively, successfully running Meta Llama 3.2 LLM for over two years.1 The FLIP rover mission is planned to operate for ten days.1
