Tesla's (TSLA) on-again, off-again relationship with its in-house supercomputer just took another surprising turn. CEO Elon Musk announced over the weekend that the electric vehicle maker will resume development of Dojo3, its third-generation AI chip project, after abruptly shutting it down just five months ago. The decision marks a strategic reversal for the automaker as it seeks to regain control over critical artificial intelligence infrastructure.
The revival comes as Tesla reports progress on its AI5 chip design, which Musk described as being in good shape. This development apparently provided enough confidence to restart the Dojo program despite the company previously concluding it made more sense to consolidate resources around a single chip architecture.
