Elon Musk Is Spending $1B On Tesla's Dojo Supercomputer – Here's What You Need To Know

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is set to invest over $1 billion in its project Dojo Supercomputer by the end of 2024, according to CEO Elon Musk.

Dojo is Tesla’s proprietary supercomputer platform, specifically designed from scratch for AI machine learning purposes, with a particular focus on video training using data obtained from its fleet of vehicles.

The supercomputer is designed to handle vast amounts of data, including video from Tesla cars, to develop autonomous driving software, Bloomberg reports.

Despite already possessing one of the world’s most potent supercomputers based on NVIDIA GPUs, Tesla has developed its custom-built Dojo computer, incorporating unique chips and a complete infrastructure crafted entirely by the company.

Tesla’s in-house custom-built supercomputer, Dojo, is set to significantly enhance the company’s capability to train neural networks using video data, a crucial aspect of its self-driving technology reliant on advanced computer vision capabilities.
