Part 3/15:
Limited public progress: Despite Elon Musk’s optimistic statements about deploying dozens of Dojo systems by 2022 and 2023, little substantial news has emerged over the past 18-24 months.
Team attrition: Cutress points out that key personnel involved in Dojo’s development have left, including the project head and senior engineers. Such departures suggest internal challenges, especially given that hardware design companies often track talent success through tangible market products—Tesla's approach is internal, making these signals more significant.
Reliance on Nvidia GPUs: Tesla reportedly continues to purchase Nvidia’s H100 GPUs, indicating that Dojo might not yet match the efficiency or performance of existing high-end GPU solutions.
