By AI6 at the latest, these chips will be more than enough for self driving cars. The purpose of continued development is smaller, lower power, more efficient and faster chips for other robotics applications. Future versions of Optimus for example will demand much greater
Elon Musk@elonmusk· Jan 17, 2026Our AI5 chip design is almost done and AI6 is in early stages, but there will be AI7, AI8, AI9 … aiming for a 9 month design cycle.
Join us to work on what I predict will be the highest volume AI chips in the world by far!

AI4 by itself will achieve self-driving safety levels very far above human.
AI5 will make the cars almost perfect and greatly enhance Optimus.
AI6 will be for Optimus and data centers.
AI7/Dojo3 will be space-based AI compute.
