- The dream of Tesla’s Dojo SuperCalculator ends after the leadership changes and mass starts reshape its IA strategy
- The Dojo project sought to revolutionize autonomous driving before internal changes stop its momentum
- The chip agreement of $ 16.5 billion from Samsung with Tesla marks a major turning point in the development of AI
Tesla has closed her team of Dojo Super -director, in what seems to be a major change in the artificial intelligence plans of the company.
Reports of Bloomberg Affirm that the decision followed the exit from team leader Peter Bannon and the loss of around 20 other staff members in a newly formed company called Densityai.
The other members of the team will now be reassigned to other IT projects and data centers within Tesla.
The leadership release triggers Tesla shave-up
The Dojo system was initially developed around personalized drive chips designed to process large amounts of driving and video data from Tesla electric vehicles.
The objective was to use this information to train the company’s autonomous driving software more effectively than standard systems.
However, CEO Elon Musk said that on X, it was no longer logical to divide the resources between two different ia chips.
Tesla did not respond to requests for comments, but Musk described the emphasis put by the company on the development of its AI5 and AI6 chips.
He said that these would be “excellent for inference and at least good enough for training” and could be placed in large clusters of superordinators, a configuration that he suggested could be called “Dojo 3.”
The discrepancy of the Dojo project company occurs in the midst of broader restructuring efforts which have experienced several executive departures and thousands of employment deletions.
Tesla has also worked to integrate AI tools such as the Grok chatbot in its vehicles, expanding its AI ambitions beyond autonomous technology.
Tesla’s plans for future IA IT infrastructure and the production of fleas after the dojo counts strongly on external technology suppliers, NVIDIA and AMD should provide IT capacities, while Samsung Electronics will manufacture fleas for the company.
Samsung recently concluded an agreement of $ 16.5 billion to provide AI fleas to Tesla, which should supply autonomous vehicles, humanoid robots and data centers.
Musk previously said that the new Samsung Texas factory will produce the Tesla AI6 chip, with AI5 production scheduled for the end of 2026.
For the moment, Musk seems convinced that the Tesla chip will support its ambitions.
But with the original Dojo team that is largely disappeared and relax with regard to external partners, the company’s trajectory will depend on the question of whether its new fleas and computer infrastructure can provide the results that Musk has promised.
