Tesla leaves supercomputer dojo and seeks new partnerships for

One of the major companies in the world of technology that invests in Artificial Intelligence (IA), Tesla has just been a hard blow. According to Bloomberg, The corporation gave up investing in its supercomputer Dojo After the project leader decides to leave his staff with other important employees.

The site informs that while Peter Bannon will continue to work in the area, he will now do it as one of the heads of density, his own startup. In conducting his activities, he will be accompanied by several colleagues who worked on the development of the system that should rid Tesla from external dependencies.

Thus, the corporation led by Elon Musk has decided that the remaining members of its AI teams will be directed to projects involving data centers. Already the idea of a supercomputer was discarded, and The company will depend more on longtime partners, such as NVIDIA.

The situation in Tesla is not exactly unprecedented in the technology world. At a time when interest in artificial intelligence is still high, and the goal has offered very attractive financial packages to attract talents, They have become increasingly rare and disputed.

Densityai, which is “draining” the intellectual resources working for Musk, was also founded by one of its former employees. She is led by Ganesh Venkataramanan, who has also worked in Dojo and, therefore, is already great familiarity with her teams.

However, The end of the supercomputer plans should not shake Tesla’s most general plans. The company continues to invest in a megaestructure in the United States to base its Xai, which should be central to the company’s development in the coming years.

What is not yet clear is how the situation will affect some of the contracts that the company had already signed to build the dojo. This year, the corporation ordered several Samsung AI6 chips that would be redirected to the powerful machine and now seem not to have a clear goal.
