Engadget: Musk claims Tesla will restart work on its Dojo supercomputer. “Elon Musk posted on X that Tesla will be restarting work on Dojo3, the third generation of its in-house supercomputer project. The Dojo team had been disbanded last year as the company prioritized the AI chips that run on board Tesla vehicles. Musk said the company is returning to the project ‘now that the AI5 chip design […]
