Tesla has finalized the design of its AI5 chip, marking a significant step in its autonomous driving and AI inference capabilities. The AI5 chip, which offers up to 40 times the computational power and nine times the memory of Tesla's current HW4 chip, is set to enhance the performance of autonomous vehicles by enabling larger vision models and processing longer video data. This advancement is crucial for achieving unsupervised Full Self-Driving (FSD). Tesla plans to manufacture the AI5 chip through both TSMC and Samsung, with mass production expected in 2027. In addition to the AI5, Tesla is developing the AI6 chip and has resumed work on its Dojo3 training chip. This move indicates Tesla's commitment to reducing its reliance on NVIDIA GPUs by advancing its proprietary chip technology. The AI5 chip is slated for initial deployment in Cybercab autonomous taxis, Optimus humanoid robots, and Tesla data centers, with limited samples anticipated by the end of 2026.
