With the first Dojo supercomputer coming online last year, Tesla plans to spend another $500 million to build a Dojo supercomputer powered by NVIDIA AI GPUs and accelerate AI development.
Dojo is the key to Tesla's self-driving initiative, providing AI machine learning and training by leveraging the data provided by its cars, with the goal of satisfying "full self-driving".
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on the X platform that Tesla plans to invest a huge amount of money in the Dojo supercomputer to launch a new $500 million project at the Gigafactory in New York.
the governor is correct that this is a dojo supercomputer, but $500m, while obviously a large sum of money, is only equivalent to a 10k h100 system from nvidia.Musk pointed out that $500 million can only buy about 10,000 NVIDIA H100s, and that Tesla will spend far more than that, possibly reaching "billions of dollars" at some point, and that "Tesla will spend more than that number on NVIDIA hardware this year, and currently needs at least billions of dollars a year to remain competitive in the AI field".tesla will spend more than that on nvidia hardware this year. the table stakes for being competitive in ai are at…
