Tesla is advancing its ambitions in artificial intelligence by reviving the Dojo AI supercomputer project, which is crucial for its plans in the driverless vehicle industry. Following significant progress on its AI5 chip design, CEO Elon Musk announced that the project is "almost done," signaling a renewed commitment to vertical integration in AI hardware.
Additionally, Tesla is initiating the design of its next-generation AI6 chip, which is set to be manufactured by Samsung Electronics Co. in a deal worth $16.5 billion. This partnership not only supports Tesla's technological goals but also enhances Samsung's foundry operations.
To boost its chip manufacturing capabilities, Tesla is actively recruiting talent, inviting applications for roles aimed at producing "the highest volume chips in the world." Interested candidates are encouraged to apply via Musk's social media platform, reflecting Tesla's strategy to deepen its involvement in the specialized AI hardware market and to compete with established semiconductor companies.
