Tesla shuts down the team behind its Dojo supercomputer
Tesla has dissolved the team that was developing its Dojo supercomputer, marking a shift away from using in-house technology to train the AI models powering its self-driving features and Optimus humanoid robot. The change includes the departure of Dojo head Peter Bannon. Tesla now plans to partner with Nvidia and AMD for compute, while turning to Samsung for chip manufacturing. The company has also struck a $16.5 billion deal with Samsung to develop its next-generation AI6 chip. The disbandment of the Dojo team comes at a critical time for Tesla, as it has recently rolled out its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, and San Francisco. Earlier this month, around 20 members of the Dojo team left the company to start a new startup, DensityAI, focused on data center services.
