Teslas now drive themselves from their birthplace at the factory to their designated loading dock lanes without human intervention One step closer to large-scale unsupervised FSD

Everyone’s talking about DeepSeek while missing the whole point of AI and robots... A kind reminder (by the way, this was 10 years ago):

DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng: >> Studies machine vision at Zhejiang University >> At 30 in 2015, launches High-Flyer quant hedge fund >> Makes a fortune (now $8B AUM) >> Wants to build “human” level AI as side hustle and pitches partners but they initially sceptical >> Buys 10,000 H800 chips in 2021 and brings over his top hedge fund employees (all have tons of experience squeezing juice out of Nvidia GPUs for the fund) >> Launched DeepSeek in 2023 and hires dozens of PhDs from top Chinese universities (Peking, Tsinghua and Beihang) >> Pays top top top salary for tech talent only matched by Bytedance in China…wants DeepSeek to be leading “local” company >> US export restrictions force DeepSeek team to get creative and they do, finding new training methods to make LLM models (V3, r1) competitive with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Grok, LLama etc at ~1/20th the cost >> Training costs not exactly apples-to-apples but novel methods and clear improvements in efficiency (also questions around copying other models, larger H-100 clusters they maybe can’t talk about and/or CCP support) >> Open sources and publishes methods (r1 reasoning paper has 200+ authors) >> DeepSeek just hit top of App Store *** FT:

This is the kind of demand that the competition can only dream of, while Tesla sees this type of interest on the daily. This is going to be the best selling vehicle in the world. Mark my words.
