Tesla unveils AI accelerator roadmap, adopts new 'SI' branding in 'Super Intelligence' push
Tesla is ramping up its custom silicon ambitions with training-oriented Dojo D3 that can eventually go to orbital data centers and massive SI6 inference accelerator.
Tesla has revealed its updated AI accelerator roadmap, signaling the company's push towards Super Intelligence (SI) chips. The company anticipates that its 6th Generation inference accelerator will deliver 80 times more compute performance than the current 4th Generation chip, while its D3 training accelerator will transition away from SRAM-centric architecture and adopt a multi-chiplet design with stacked High Bandwidth Memory (HBM).
Tesla has also updated its terminology for AI accelerators, renaming them with SI monikers such as SI4, SI5, and SI6. Elon Musk has reportedly confirmed that SpaceXAI will now be called SpaceXSI. It seems that Tesla may already be embracing the new terminology, as the company has dropped the AI4, AI5, and AI6 labels in favor of SI4, SI5, and SI6.
