Elon Musk reveals roadmap with nine-month cadence for new AI processor releases, beating Nvidia and AMD’s yearly cadence — Musk plans to have the highest-volume chips in the world

Nvidia tends to release its AI GPUs at an annual cadence, which keeps the company ahead of all rivals. AMD has invested a lot to keep up, so it also launches new AI accelerators on a yearly rhythm. Apparently, Elon Musk wants Tesla to progress even faster and release new AI processors every nine months to perhaps eventually catch up with AMD and then market leader Nvidia. There seems to be caveat with Musk’s plans, but he seems to be looking forward a solution.

“Our AI5 chip design is almost done and AI6 is in early stages, but there will be AI7, AI8, AI9,” Elon Musk posted on X. “Aiming for a 9-month design cycle. Join us to work on what I predict will be the highest volume AI chips in the world by far!”
