Tesla Revives Dojo Supercomputer Project Amid AI Chip Breakthroughs
Tesla reignites its Dojo supercomputer initiative as CEO Elon Musk confirms the AI5 chip design is nearing completion. The MOVE signals a strategic pivot toward proprietary AI infrastructure, reducing reliance on external GPU suppliers like NVIDIA.
The $16.5 billion Samsung partnership underscores Tesla's commitment to vertical integration. Production of the next-generation AI6 chip is slated for 2027 through TSMC, positioning Tesla to compete in the high-stakes AI hardware arena.
Dojo 3's neural network training capabilities could accelerate development of Tesla's autonomous driving systems and Optimus humanoid robots. The project's revival follows Musk's earlier dismissal of the second-generation Dojo as an evolutionary dead end.
