Tesla just switched on a massive supercomputer packed with 10,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs to accelerate its full self-driving development. The cluster delivers 340 FP64 PFLOPS of compute, beating Leonardo, the world's fourth most powerful supercomputer. Alongside its custom Dojo hardware, Tesla is building an unprecedented computing moat in the auto industry.
Elon Musk just revealed how his new startup xAI will leverage his wider empire, teaming up with Tesla on custom silicon and AI software while tapping Twitter data for training. Musk noted that public tweets will power text and video learning, while Tesla’s real-world driving data will teach the models about the physical world. Why it matters: Musk is bypassing third-party data and chip bottlenecks by turning his existing companies into a unified AI sandbox.
