What happened
Breakthrough Listen and the SETI Institute are using AI agents to automate operations and process real-time sensor data at the Allen Telescope Array. Powered by NVIDIA's Holoscan platform and Blackwell GPUs, the system allows researchers to steer the telescope and analyze terabits of data per second using natural language prompts.
