Musk: We will build AI chips at higher volumes “than all other AI chips combined”

In a late-night post on X, Elon Musk boasted about Tesla’s custom AI chip plans.

Musk said the current version of Tesla’s AI chip, the A14, is in cars and data centers today, while work is underway on the A15 and A16. The goal is an Apple-style yearly iteration of its workhorse custom AI chip.

Musk wrote: “We expect to build chips at higher volumes ultimately than all other AI chips combined. Read that sentence again, as I’m not kidding.”

Even OpenAI is worried about Google’s Gemini 3

When OpenAI’s ChatGPT burst onto the scene in November 2022, it sent shock waves through Silicon Valley’s biggest names. Google, Microsoft, and Amazon had all been developing generative AI, but OpenAI’s breakthrough sparked an all-out race to catch up. Until now.

It seems that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is feeling the heat from Google, whose newly released Gemini 3 has been receiving stellar reception from AI leaderboards, analysts, and consumers alike.

“We know we have some work to do but we are catching up fast,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told colleagues last month, after learning about Google’s AI advances, The Information reports. “I expect the vibes out there to be rough for a bit.”

Google’s AI progress, Altman said, could “create some temporary economic headwinds for our company,” but he said OpenAI would emerge on top.

However, it’s worth remembering that, despite OpenAI’s first-mover advantage and supersized valuation, Google is a substantial adversary that is peppering its AI models across its giant existing — and highly lucrative — product suite.
