I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.

Elon Musk announced that Tesla's Dojo 2 supercomputer will enter volume production by late 2025, with the third major iteration expected in late 2026. This technology is pivotal for Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability, aiming to train neural networks for autonomous vehicles. Musk emphasized the importance of multiple iterations in achieving technology excellence, comparing Dojo's potential to the NVIDIA B200 training system. In 2023, Tesla committed significant investments towards the Dojo supercomputer and hardware purchases from Nvidia, highlighting their ongoing reliance on these technologies.

Tesla Inc. TSLA and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk shared the timeline for the next iterations of the company’s Dojo supercomputer.

What Happened: On Monday, Musk appeared on the All-In podcast, during which he revealed that Tesla’s Dojo 2 supercomputer should bein volume production by theend of 2025.

The tech mogul expressed confidence in Dojo’s potential but noted that its true capabilities would only be known after the third major iteration, expected in late 2026.

“We should have Dojo 2 in volume production towards the end of next year. That will be comparable to an NVIDIA B200 type training system,” he said, adding, “I have some improved confidence in Dojo, but I think we won't really know how good it is probably until version 3.

Why It Matters: The Dojo supercomputer is a crucial part of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving or FSD technology, designed to train the neural networks used in autonomous vehicles.

Tesla’s commitment to the Dojo supercomputer project has been evident since 2023 when Musk announced an investment of over $1 billion by the end of 2024. At the time, the tech billionaire reiterated Tesla’s continued dependence on Nvidia and Dojo for AI processing.

Earlier this year in June, Musk revealed that Tesla would spend $3 billion to $4 billion on hardware purchases from Nvidia, with a majority of its remaining AI-related budget allocated internally, including for the Dojo supercomputer.
