Tesla has officially ended its Dojo AI supercomputer project. Dojo was meant to help train Tesla’s self-driving technology at high speed and lower cost.
Instead of continuing the in-house project, Tesla will now work with chip industry leaders Nvidia, Samsung, and AMD. These companies provide powerful AI hardware that can support Tesla’s autonomous driving goals without the huge costs of building a new system from scratch.
Dojo was first announced as a revolutionary training computer for Tesla’s AI, but experts say developing such custom hardware is complex, expensive, and time-consuming. By partnering with existing leaders in AI chips, Tesla can focus more on improving its software and cars.
Some industry analysts believe this change could speed up Tesla’s AI advancements, while others see it as a sign that the Dojo project faced major challenges.
