Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced today that the company is hiring AI/computer chip team members to develop a Neural Network (NN) training computer called Dojo to process vast amounts of video data.
Tesla's custom 144 TOPS (Trillion Operations Per Second) in-vehicle inference computer, where almost every TOP is useable & optimized for NN, far exceeds anything else in volume production, given the hardware needed to run sophisticated nets. Dojo, the company's training supercomputer, will be able to process vast amounts of video training data, and efficiently run hyperspace arrays with an extreme number of parameters, plenty of memory & ultra-high bandwidth between cores.
Back in February, Musk urged programmers and engineers to join Tesla's team. "Tons of C ++ / C engineers needed for vehicle control & the entire rest of car. Educational background is irrelevant, but all must pass hardcore coding test," he wrote on Twitter.
Tesla's NN is initially in Python for rapid iteration and then converted to C ++/C raw metal driver code for speed, which is a very important factor.
Today Musk once again called on everyone with an interest in developing Tesla's supercomputer to join the team.
Tesla is developing a NN training computer called Dojo to process truly vast amounts of video data. It’s a beast! Please consider joining our AI or computer/chip teams if this sounds interesting.
