Ai Focus
Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated that in order to expand production scale, the company has reduced the memory specifications of the next generation of Optimus robot chips. He mentioned that the memory of the AI5 chip has been halved to 72GB, and the memory of the AI6 chip has been cut by a third to 144GB. This move is the only way to achieve the production capacity required for mass production, and it will have "imperceptible" impact on the performance of Optimus.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated on Thursday that in order to expand production capacity, the electric vehicle giant has lowered the memory specifications of its next-generation "Optimus" robot chip. Previously, Micron Technology had pointed out that humanoid robots may require hundreds of GB of memory and storage capacity.
The impact of reducing memory on performance is “negligible”.
Elon Musk posted on the X platform that Tesla will halve the memory of the AI5 chip to 72GB and cut the memory of the AI6 chip by a third to 144GB. He stated that this is "the only way to achieve the production capacity required for mass production of Optimus Prime," and that this move can "significantly" reduce costs.
He added that the impact of such cuts on Optimus Prime's performance is "negligible," as memory bandwidth is a more restrictive factor than the total memory capacity.
