TESLA

🚖 Elon Musk and Tesla unveil Robotaxi

The Rundown: Elon Musk just unveiled Tesla's long-awaited Robotaxi, a futuristic two-door vehicle with gull-wing doors and no steering wheel or pedals, alongside surprise announcements for a larger Robovan and updates on the Optimus humanoid robot.

The details:

• The "Cybercab" Robotaxi is set for production in 2026, priced under $30,000, with operating costs projected at 20 cents per mile.

• Tesla's autonomous approach relies on AI, cameras, and extensive training data, eschewing the lidar hardware favored by competitors.

• A larger self-driving Robovan was also (unexpectedly) introduced, which is reportedly capable of carrying up to 20 people.

• Musk projects a future $20,000-$30,000 price range for Tesla Optimus robots, boldly claiming they'll be "the biggest product ever of any kind."

Why it matters: After years of hype, Tesla’s long-awaited, fully autonomous Robotaxi has finally been revealed — and it’s coming in HOT at an affordable price of under $30,000. With the cost of autonomous transport being so low, the Robotaxi and Robovan (when fully rolled out) could completely revolutionize transportation.

AMD

🚀 AMD reveals next-gen AI chips

The Rundown: AMD just launched its new lineup of AI-focused processors at the company’s Advancing AI 2024 event, showing off a range of releases aimed at competing with rivals Nvidia and Intel in the booming data center and AI chip market.

The details:

• AMD unveiled the Ryzen AI PRO 300 enterprise-focused processors for AI PCs, touting 40% better performance than Intel's Core Ultra chips.

• The Instinct MI325X AI accelerator, set to begin production in late 2024, boasts 1.8x higher memory capacity and 1.3x more bandwidth than Nvidia's H200 GPU.

• The chipmaker revealed EPYC 5th Gen CPUs, which CEO Lisa Su called ‘the world’s best for enterprise, AI, and cloud.’

• AMD also announced plans for annual AI chip releases, with the MI350X slated for late 2025 and the MI400 for 2026.

Why it matters: There seems to be no end in sight to the rapid acceleration of powerful AI processors — and while AMD is making an aggressive push against its competitors, there is likely more than enough demand for everyone (including both Jensen Huang and his cousin Lisa Su).
