Part 6/14:
Scale and Speed: The scope of this build is colossal—Tesla's data center infrastructure is among the few capable of standing up such a powerful facility in a shockingly short timeline. Herbert notes that Tesla, along with XAI, is one of only two entities globally capable of establishing such data centers in just months, leveraging its immense compute investment.
Significance for AI and Robotics: Cortex 2’s advanced capabilities will facilitate neural net training at scales previously thought impossible. This large-scale compute power is essential for Tesla’s vision of autonomous robots and robust AI decision-making systems. As Herbert explains, the key to training autonomous systems lies in sheer computational power, and Tesla’s ongoing investments are a strategic advantage.
