Ah, the old "throwing more hardware at a problem will surely solve it" approach.


Nah, this is just run of the mill stock pumping in preparation for when Tesla acquires xAI and/or Twitter for their invaluable AI technology that is totally the key to FSD.


Indeed. The common answer for scaling compute is the recruit more hardware.

Tesla has a vast amount of video data to feed into its vision --> action model. Training on Nvidia hardware takes too long. Dojo fixes this problem by a novel SIMD architecture.


The whole concept of a GPU is performing SIMD, what's novel more precisely?


He’s just spouting Tesla propaganda. Check out his comment history.


Well, yeah. Deep learning shows that approach works (as long as you have the data as well).
