Musk restarts Dojo 3, now aimed at space-based AI compute rather than training on Earth

Tesla/AI5 / AI6 chips and Dojo 3

Five months after shutting Dojo down, Musk said Tesla would restart work on Dojo 3 because the AI5 design was "in good shape". Unlike the old Dojo it is not meant to train self-driving models; Musk wrote that "AI7/Dojo3 will be for space-based AI compute", a moonshot tied to plans for compute satellites.

• Musk used the post to recruit engineers for "what will be the highest volume chips in the world".
• AI6 is meant for cars, Optimus and data-centre training; Samsung builds it under a $16.5B deal.
• No Dojo 3 specs or dates were given.
