Tesla Unveils Cortex Supercomputer Cluster with 100,000 H100/H200 Chips at Giga Texas

Aug 3, 2024, 06:15 PM

Tesla, led by Elon Musk, is making significant strides in AI development with its new supercomputer cluster named Cortex at Giga Texas. The cluster will feature approximately 100,000 H100 and H200 chips, designed to enhance the training of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) neural networks and the Optimus robot. Musk has expressed satisfaction with the progress at Giga Texas, highlighting the massive storage capabilities for video training. The project is expected to be a multi-billion dollar investment, positioning Tesla to have more training compute power than xAI. Musk also hinted at the possibility of Tesla entering the chip manufacturing sector to compete with Nvidia. The development was detailed in a report by Rebecca Bellan from TechCrunch.
