Tesla's new supercomputer caused power cut in Palo Alto
 

Might have a few energy problems

Tesla's new Dojo supercomputer tripped the power grid in Palo Alto even when it was only operating its first chip and training tiles.

Pro-Tesla press claims that just shows how powerful Tesla's custom supercomputer platform was, although we suspect it was probably borked wiring.

Bill Chang, Tesla's Principal System Engineer for Dojosaid that Tesla tripped their local electric grid's substation when testing the infrastructure earlier this year:

"Earlier this year, we started load testing our power and cooling infrastructure and we were able to push it over 2 MW before we tripped our substation and got a call from the city."

Dojo was built from the ground up for AI machine learning and more specifically for video training using the video data coming from its fleet of vehicles.
