As the sale continues to fall worldwide, Tesla gives up when building an internal supercomputer for Computer Vision processing as part of the advanced assistance system for advanced driver.
When Bloomberg Reports, the head of the project, called Dojo and which CEO Elon Musk used to hype enormously, the company leaves. The team has already lost around 20 employees from a separate data center company that pochulates former Tesla managers.
The rest of the team is said to be re -assigned to other data center projects.
Given that Musk has again focused on a robotaxi service that depends on computer vision, it is not particularly trust-inducing. Musk once called Dojo a 'beast', but admitted last year that he had started to consider Dojo as a long shot 'because' it is not something that is a big chance '.
“It is not logical for Tesla to distribute his resources and scale two very different AI chip designs,” tweeted Musk Thursday.
Instead of Bloomberg, Tesla wants to rely on external tech partners, including Nvidia, AMD and Samsung, for the production of AI chips. But the company does not completely give up its internal chips.
“The Tesla AI5, AI6 and the following chips will be excellent for inference and at least reasonably good for training,” wrote Musk. “All efforts are focused on that.”
Dojo is designed to train machine learning models that drive Tesla's steering machine and so-called “full self-driving” advanced drivers aid software.
But Tesla's Dojo team soon fell victim to the rising competition. The enormous AI Hype has led to large technology companies having important tolal and offering employees at competing companies absurd sums of money.
Even after his AI efforts, Tesla suffered under a large brain drain, with important execs left the company in large numbers.
The car manufacturer is still struggling with the consequences of Musk's well -documented embrace of extreme right -wing ideologies, which drops the sale and leaves a huge gap in his finances.
Even the efforts to develop self -driving car technologies have been chaotic and overwhelming. The first rollout of a robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, is plagued by technical problems and frightening almost -missers.
Last week, Tesla received one of his greatest legal success, but when a jury in Florida considered the EV -maker partially responsible for a fatal collision involving the Autopilot software, a decision that will force almost a quarter of a billion dollars.
Despite the warning signals, investors have supported Tesla's market capitalization of more than $ 1 trillion. Shares have risen more than ten percent in the past month.
