Taiwan is nearly a world-class leader in the upstream of the LEO satellite supply chain (RF PA, filters, high-frequency PCB), and has decent participation in the downstream (ground terminals, antennas) — but a structural void exists in the hottest new theme of 2025–2026: mid-stream C, Orbital Data Center (ODC) hardware integration.

This is not an accident. It is a structural opportunity window.

In March 2026, Jensen Huang said something on the GTC stage:

"Space computing, the ultimate frontier, has arrived."

This was not a metaphor. In November 2025, US startup Starcloud launched an NVIDIA H100 into orbit (Starcloud-1) and completed the first large language model training session in space. Two months later, on January 11, 2026, Axiom Space launched two orbital data center nodes (ODC Node 1 & 2), connected them to Kepler Communications' optical relay network, and began offering cloud compute services to external customers.

Earth orbit has officially become a new location class for data centers.

This post captures my current engineering thesis across AI systems, space infrastructure, blockchain, and RF validation.

General-purpose LLMs are powerful, but when it comes to deep analysis in specialized domains, they have two hard limitations: knowledge that lags behind the cutting edge, and factual dilution for niche fields. Take the Polkadot ecosystem as an example — key 2024–2026 developments like Agile Coretime, RegionX, and JAM are either unanswerable by general models, or return outdated information.

The solution is not a bigger model — it's giving the model a structured, trustworthy external knowledge base, then wrapping it with a persona and task prompt. That's the motivation behind my myGPTs.
