Elon Musk Lays Out Tesla's AI Chip Roadmap Through Space-Based Compute

Tesla's CEO outlined a seven-generation chip plan spanning autonomous driving, humanoid robotics, and orbital data centers — an ambition that stretches credulity but maps to real silicon investments.

Elon Musk posted a chip roadmap for Tesla that extends from AI4 through AI7/Dojo3, each generation targeting progressively more ambitious compute domains. As @elonmusk wrote directly: "AI4 by itself will achieve self-driving safety levels very far above human. AI5 will make the cars almost perfect and greatly enhance Optimus. AI6 will be for Optimus and data centers. AI7/Dojo3 will be space-based AI compute."
