Tesla is breaking the team behind his Dojo SuperCompleutFinishing the game of the car manufacturer in the development of internal chips for driver -free technology, second Bloomberg.

The command of Dojo, Peter Bannon, is leaving the company and the remaining members of the team will be reassigned to other data center projects and calculations within Tesla, according to Bloomberg’s reporting, which cites anonymous sources.

The dissolution of Tesla’s efforts follows the departure of about 20 workers, who left the car manufacturer to start their own To the Company called densyi. According to reports, the new startup will soon come out of the stealth and is building chips, hardware and software that will feed the data centers for the IAs that are used in robotics, by artificial intelligence agents and car applications. Density was founded by training Dojo Head Ganesh venkataramanan And former employees of Tesla Bill Chang and well that float.

It also comes in a crucial moment for Tesla.

CEO Elon Musk has pushed To convince the shareholders to consider Tesla as an artificial and robotic intelligence company, despite a limited launch of robotaxi in Austin last June which presented Model Y vehicles with a human being in the front passerby and cause a series of polls reported of vehicles show a problematic driving behavior.

Tesla’s decision to close Dojo, of which Musk spoke of salt 2019, is a great change in the strategy. Musk said that Dojo would be the cornerstone of Ai’s ambitions of Tesla and its goal of achieving full guide for self -control due to its ability to “develop vast video data”. He spoke of Dojo, even if briefly, as recently as the call of profits of the second quarter of the company.

In 2023, Morgan Stanley provided that Dojo could add $ 500 billion to the market value of the company by unlocking new revenue flows in the form of robotasses and software services. Just last year, Musk noticed that the Tesla team “Double“On Dojo in sight Tesla robotaxi reveals, Which happened in October.

But talking about Dojo stopped around August 2024, when Musk began to propagate the Cortex Intensive Intesa, “Giant New at the Tesla training superclusives under construction in the headquarters of Tesla di Austin to resolve the IA of the real world”.

The Dojo project was one leaves SuperCompute, the internal palace is left. Tesla revealed his D1 chip when he formally announced Dojo on his first day of artificial intelligence in 2021. Venkataramanan Presented the chip, which Tesla said would have been used together with the Nvidia GPU to power the superomputo Dojo. The car manufacturer also stated that he was working on a new generation D2 chip that Wow resolves any choke of the flow of information of his predecessor.

Sources have reported to Bloomberg that Tesla now plans to include his dependence on Nvidia, as well as technological partners otherwise as AMD for Calcole and Samsung for the production of chips. Tesla last month signed a $ 16.5 billion in agreement with Samsung To make its inference chips AI6, a chip design that has promised to climb from the impulse of Optimus Humanoid Robot of FSD and Tesla to the high -performance training on the data centers.

During the call of profits of the second quarter of Tesla, Musk mentioned potential layoffs.

“Thinking about Dojo 3 and the AI6 inference chip, it seems intuitively, we want to try to find convergence there, where the chip is fundamental,” Musk said.

The news comes how The Board of Directors of Tesla offers Musk a salary package of $ 29 billion To keep him in Tesla and help to push Ai della Compagnia’s efforts forward, rather than being too Sidtrack by his other companies, including the startup to the most player XAI.
