Tesla's Next-Generation AI Chips and the Path to Autonomous and Embodied AI
Tesla is making significant strides in artificial intelligence (AI) through the development of its own custom AI chips, in partnership with Samsung. This move represents a critical and transformative step toward realizing advanced autonomous systems, embodied AI, and ultimately, Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) or Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). With an investment of over $16.5 billion, Tesla aims to produce the most sophisticated AI inference chips in the world, targeting edge computing—a computing paradigm where processing occurs close to the data source, vital for real-time applications like robo-taxis and humanoid robots.
