## Astrolab FLIP Rover
Astrolab is sending a test rover toward the Moon to see if large language models can make decisions without Earth help.
## NASA Griffin-1 Mission
The rover will carry HPE's Spaceborne Computer-4 on NASA's Griffin-1 mission, planned for late 2026.
## Lunar Conditions Test
The LLMs remain unproven in lunar conditions, as hardware faces exposure to the Moon's environment.
## Key takeaway

Astrolab's FLIP rover will test whether large language models can function on the Moon without Earth assistance.
