Tesla shuts down its Dojo AI supercomputer, ending in-house chip efforts as Elon Musk shifts focus to AI5/AI6 chips and external tech partnerships.

The disbanding of Tesla’s Dojo efforts follows the departure of around 20 workers, who left the automaker to start their own AI company dubbed DensityAI focused on data center services for industries.

Tesla Inc. is disbanding its Dojo team and its leader will leave the company, according to people familiar with the matter, upending the automaker’s effort to build an in-house supercomputer for developing driverless-vehicle technology.
