Overview
- Elon Musk said the AI5 design is "in good shape," prompting Tesla to restart its third-generation Dojo supercomputer effort.
- Musk described Dojo3, aligned with AI7, as intended for "space-based AI compute," shifting the concept beyond terrestrial training.
- Tom’s Hardware reports Musk said Dojo3 would rely on fully in-house hardware, unlike prior iterations that used Nvidia GPUs.
- Musk invited chip engineers to apply via AI_Chips@Tesla.com as Tesla rebuilds the Dojo team disbanded last year after leadership departures.
- Tesla still depends on external manufacturing and partners, with AI5 produced by TSMC and a multibillion-dollar Samsung deal to make AI6 in Texas for vehicles, Optimus, and data-center needs.
