Each ride helps us improve the full autonomy stack from vehicle dispatch to remote ops. A necessary step towards FSD unsupervised.

Dancing is a hard problem not just for humans, even for robots. It stresses timing, torque and latency budgets. Tesla Optimus nails it like a pro dancer with all of the AI inference running on-board in real-time!

Learning from human demonstrations is a major unlock for faster skill acquisition and a step in the right direction towards generalization. What makes it even more impactful is that all these tasks are handled by a single neural network. The efficiency of Tesla’s AI stack,

Sanskrit is an ancient, formally specified language with recursive production rules and compositional semantics. It definitely offers deep insights for designing non-autoregressive, symbolic LLM architectures with reasoning built-in. Excited to see this explored in open source!

Most people don’t realize Tesla is the only car you can buy that chauffeurs you safely and comfortably, like a 5-star uber driver. It’s a no-brainer for family peace of mind for both everyday commute and roadtrips!

Eight years ago, I joined the Tesla AI team as an engineer. Infact, my bond with the company started even earlier, back at NVIDIA, working on chip bringup for Tesla's early hardware computers. This decade-long journey has been the adventure of a lifetime. Thrilling,
