Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk is touting plans to outpace competition in the AI chip sphere.
“Our goal is to bring a new AI chip design to volume production every 12 months,” he posted on X. “We expect to build chips at higher volumes ultimately than all other AI chips combined.”
“These chips will profoundly change the world in positive ways, saving millions of lives due to safer driving and providing advanced medical care to all people via Optimus,” Musk said.
He added his team has been instrumental in designing and deploying several million AI chips in Tesla vehicles and data centers.
The company’s current AI chip iteration, AI4, is already integrated into Tesla vehicles, with AI5 on the brink of deployment and work on AI6 already in progress.
Major AI chip players include Nvidia (NVDA), AMD (AMD), Intel (INTC) and Broadcom (AVGO).
