The Dojo Supercomputer

Tesla's custom-built Dojo supercomputer is at the heart of the company's AI strategy. Announced in 2021, Dojo is designed to process and train AI models using the massive amounts of video and sensor data captured by Tesla vehicles. The system is built around Tesla's custom D1 chip, manufactured by TSMC, which is optimized for machine learning tasks.

Dojo's architecture is highly scalable, with 25 D1 chips forming a "training tile," six tiles making up a tray, and two trays comprising a cabinet. Ten cabinets form a "hexapod," capable of 1.1 exaflops of computing power – roughly equivalent to 1 quintillion calculations per second.
