Tesla has officially discontinued the Dojo supercomputer, which was developed to enhance its Full Self-Driving software and train AI for the Optimus humanoid robot. This change, confirmed by CEO Elon Musk, reflects a strategic shift towards collaboration with third-party companies like Nvidia and AMD instead of in-house AI development. Following the shutdown, team leader Peter Bannon will exit the company, while remaining team members will be reassigned. Despite this decision, Tesla continues to invest in AI with the construction of a new supercomputer named Cortex, aimed at advancing its AI training capabilities for autonomous driving.
