Tesla to revive Dojo AI supercomputer as Musk says AI5 design is ready

Tesla has resumed work on its Dojo3 AI training supercomputer following Elon Musk’s announcement that the AI5 chip design is now in good shape. The Dojo team had been disbanded last year due to divergent development paths between the AI5 and AI6 chip architectures, with Tesla focusing resources on these next-generation chips primarily designed for inference tasks in electric vehicles running Full Self-Driving (FSD) software. The Dojo supercomputer is intended to train Tesla’s machine learning models using data collected from its vehicles, but the AI5 and AI6 chips themselves are not optimized for AI training. Musk highlighted that the AI5 chip will significantly improve FSD capabilities, making Tesla cars “almost perfect” and enhancing the Optimus robot, while AI6 will serve both Optimus and data centers. He also mentioned future AI7/Dojo3 chips aimed at space-based AI computing, potentially involving orbital data centers powered by solar energy and cooled naturally by space conditions. However, Musk’s
