Elon Musk revealed the title of the Tesla Gigafactory Texas supercomputing cluster over the weekend, following a tour of the just lately constructed constructing.
On Saturday, Musk wrote on X that the Giga Texas supercomputing cluster is called “Cortex,” noting that he simply accomplished a walkthrough of the brand new facility. The constructing, which Musk in Might confirmed to be the supercomputer after a lot hypothesis in regards to the undertaking, is ready to be dwelling to roughly 100,000 Nvidia H100 and H200 chips for video coaching of the neural networks for Full Self-Driving (FSD) and Optimus.
Musk additionally beforehand detailed the large cooling wants for the Cortex supercomputing cluster, explaining that the cluster would require round 130 MW of energy and cooling this yr, earlier than that expands to over 500 MW within the subsequent 18 months. The cooling wants have additionally been demonstrated in latest months by the large followers that had been put in within the constructing, as will be seen in latest pictures from drone operator and Giga Texas observer Joe Tegtmeyer.

Along with the followers, the Cortex supercomputing cluster will even embrace 4 big water tanks to assist with cooling efforts, and Tesla has constructed out this construction on the second flooring of the constructing.
Musk estimated in June that Tesla’s Nvidia purchases would doubtless be between $3 and $4 billion this yr, out of a complete of $10 billion spent on AI-related expenditures. About half of this, the CEO defined, is inside, unfold throughout Tesla’s in-house-designed AI inference pc, the sensors in all of its automobiles, and Dojo.
Musk additionally shared a video of the Cortex supercomputing facility following the Fourth of July final month, later noting that he had been working for the U.S. vacation, apparently in contrast to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
