Elon Musk wants to optimize Tesla's chip design

Tesla designs Artificial Intelligence chips for its vehicles and aims to optimize procedures - with an ideal distribution of the resources it has, allocating them to the inference chips.
That's what CEO Elon Musk explained after Bloomberg reported that the entrepreneur had dictated the end of the Dojo supercomputer team.
On the social network X (formerly Twitter), the irreverent owner of Tesla wrote: " It makes no sense for Tesla to divide its resources and scale two very different AI chip designs . The Tesla AI5, AI6 and subsequent chips will be excellent for inference and at least very good for training. All the effort is focused on this."
Elon Musk's reaction neither confirmed nor denied the reports about the future of the Dojo supercomputer. Essentially, it is used to train Tesla's autonomous driving systems through data and video processing and recognition.
According to Bloomberg, Dojo program leader Peter Bannon is leaving, and Elon Musk has ordered the dissolution of the team—which had recently lost about 20 people to DensityAI—a new artificial intelligence company founded by former Tesla leaders.
Regarding the design of Artificial Intelligence chips, Tesla recently announced a production agreement worth over €14 billion with Samsung Electronics.
Thus, the South Korean technology company will manufacture the AI6 chip for Tesla in a new large factory in Texas. Currently, it produces the AI4 chip. However, the AI5 chip is being manufactured by TSMC between Taiwan and Arizona, according to The Korea Herald.
