Localization of supply chains is inevitable. Especially in the age of AI and Robotics.

Try Grok 4.20 Heavy

@elonmusk IT'S VERY VERY GOOD!!!!

Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla's AI lead, during a GTC discussion, highlighting the fundamental similarity in AI approaches for self-driving cars and humanoid robots: - Hierarchical decision making is useful, but it has to be done as part of the same decision-making process as lower-level controls. - We haven't seen the long tail of humanoid robotics, but Tesla has seen the long tail of self-driving, where high and low-level decisions have to be jointly made at a pretty high framerate. - Optimus's architecture is designed in a similar way, where there's a hierarchy but it's all running as part of the same model and the latencies involved in decision making are well modeled. - This architecture will scale quite well with humanoid robots. - The distinction of the decision-making levels is only in the developer's mind. For the model, it's a continuous space of decision making, where there are dials available to make them more fine or coarse. - Humanoids have more sensor modalities and higher degrees of freedom compared to self-driving, but the fundamental constraints remain the same: you need to make real-time decisions. There's obviously a hierarchy to these control signal outputs, but the lowest frequency cannot be too low, because the safety of the robot cannot depend upon things running at very low frequencies.

Elon on Tesla's Terafab:

Friendly reminder that AI will never be worse than it is right now. If you assume any rate of improvement over any reasonable period - learning how to use it becomes your #1 priority.

Ok so gold and silver spiked because of war with Iran’s Islamic regime, and now that it’s becoming obvious Iran’s Islamic regime is going to collapse, gold and silver are cratering. Come back tomorrow for more shitty macro analysis.

@bindureddy Google will win the AI race in the West, China on Earth and SpaceX in space

Explore Vik. Tesla Model Y Episode 3. @tesla @teslaeurope @elonmusk

😂

@elonmusk It's magic.

Try Tesla self-driving! It’s awesome.

Tesla FSD is nothing short of magic. Just rented a Cybertruck, picked it up at the airport and it drove us directly to the Airbnb. None of the stress of a new city, new roads, new car. Had it for 5 days and never drove myself. It drove perfectly. So easy and liberating

If you’re not going to go to China, just open up Google Earth. China is building more solar and wind than the rest of the world *combined* and you can literally see it from space.

HOW DOES HE DO THIS WHAT THE ACTUAL F

NEWS: Tesla is Robotaxi service testing in Orlando, Florida. Multiple new Model Ys with rear camera washers and Texas manufacturer license plates have been spotted at the Tesla Lee Vista Blvd store in Orlando. Only the Model Y Robotaxis in Austin have had rear camera washers. Tesla said on its Q4 earnings call that Orlando was one of the 7 planned metro areas that would see robotaxi coverage in the first half of 2026. Thx for sending me the pics @lucretiupop!

@DBurkland @pbeisel It’s in testing right now. Wide release in a few weeks.

@pbeisel I am a huge admirer of Nvidia and Jensen btw. That market cap is well-deserved. SpaceX AI and Tesla expect to continue ordering Nvidia chips at scale.

AI5 will punch far above its weight, because the entire Tesla AI software stack is designed to make maximally effective use of every circuit. We co-signed our AI software and hardware. Bear in mind that AI5, while it can be used for training in data centers, is primarily optimized for AI edge compute in Optimus and Robotaxi. There is still significant room for improvement. In the same half reticle and same process node, we think a single AI6 chip has the potential to match a dual SoC AI5.

@pilootdotcom Weird - which country?

@farzyness Still can’t buy the kindle edition on amazon (here in Europe) ☹️

Thank you all so much for the awesome reviews on my book Abundance or Collapse. 4.6 out of 5 stars on both Amazon and Goodreads. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!! If you have read the book but haven't reviewed it yet, would be super helpful if you leave an honest review. THANK YOU!!!!!
