Implications for Tesla’s AI Ambitions
The AI6 processor is central to Tesla’s long-term strategy in three major areas:
1. Full Autonomy
FSD v12 and future v13+ systems will rely on heavier neural networks requiring more on-device compute power than ever before.
2. Optimus Robotics
Tesla’s humanoid robot line, currently entering early production, will use AI6 chips to improve locomotion, perception, and manipulation capabilities.
3. Dojo Supercomputing
Tesla plans to integrate AI6 modules into its custom training clusters, enabling massive video-based neural training at lower cost and higher efficiency.
“AI6 is not just a car chip—it’s the foundation of Tesla’s entire AI roadmap,” said robotics researcher Daniel Jae.
