Elon Musk said on X on Saturday that Tesla is nearing completion of its AI5 chip, planning follow-on AI6–AI9 designs with a nine-month cycle and restarting its Dojo supercomputer project (Dojo3) to improve Full Self-Driving and robotics training. He invited engineers to apply; regulators granted Tesla a five-week extension, moving the NHTSA response deadline from Jan. 19 to Feb. 23.
Key Points
- 1Announces AI5 nearly complete and plans for AI6–AI9 with nine-month design cycles.
- 2Restarts Dojo3 to regain in-house training capacity after earlier team disbandment and reliance on Nvidia.
- 3Invites engineers to apply, signaling hiring needs and impacting self-driving model training timelines.
Scoring Rationale
Credible, strategic announcement by Tesla indicates major hardware shift, but sparse technical details limit immediate practitioner use.
