According to Yonhap News,

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc., has said Samsung Electronics will manufacture the U.S. electric vehicle maker's next-generation AI6 chip at its semiconductor plant in Texas.

Musk made the announcement Sunday (U.S. time) on his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, stating, "The strategic importance of this is hard to overstate."

He added that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), which has just completed its design phase, will initially produce the AI5 chip in Taiwan.

Musk also said Samsung, which currently manufactures the AI4 chip, has agreed to allow Tesla to collaborate in efforts to maximize manufacturing efficiency.

Tesla's AI6 chip is designed to be scalable -- small enough for use in humanoid robots and self-driving cars but powerful enough for artificial intelligence (AI) data centers.
