I was deeply disappointed by Tesla’s Battery Day, but yesterday’s AI day was imho amazing, almost scary.

Here’s the lead of Project Dojo holding a 9PFLOP tile that will be the building block for their 1.1ExFLOP AI supercomputer …


The street labelling section (from 1:25) was a really interesting introduction to what they’re going to be using Dojo for.

What did you think?

Battery day was incredible and quite misunderstood I think.

AI day had ~3 parts.

The software stack - which as a developer left me in the dust (I dont have any substantial NN/AI technical knowledge) but it looked impressive, hard to judge where they sit within the industry (vs waymo etc) but having the ability to script a request out to all the cars for sample video of trucks flinging stuff off and obscuring view was smart, and what they are doing with the data looked incredible.

The Dojo/D1 project looked insane.  1 tile is 9 petaflops. 50 would be no1 in top500, they are going to be using 3000 of them... :O 

The individual processing unit isnt that out there compared to others but its designed for their needs and the io/bandwidth/connect-ability and scale is just crazy.

The bot? Yeah whatever if they can make that work it'll be interesting times, and a massive product, we're on the cusp of this happening regardless of tesla being involved I suspect.
