Technology Nov 23, 2025

Elon Musk just shared that Tesla is putting the finishing touches on its new AI5 chip, with the even more advanced AI6 already in the works.
These chips are set to power everything from Tesla cars to massive data centers, pushing the company further into cutting-edge AI territory.

Fast-track chip upgrades and Samsung partnership

Musk also revealed that Tesla wants to roll out a new AI chip every year—AI4 is already in cars, and AI5 is nearly done.
Samsung landed a $16.5 billion deal to produce the AI6 chip at its new Texas plant.
Musk's big goal? For Tesla to eventually make more AI chips than anyone else in the game.
