Recently, rumors about the cooperation between Tesla and xAI have been rampant, attracting widespread attention. According to the Wall Street Journal, Tesla may share revenue with its artificial intelligence subsidiary xAI and cooperate on aspects such as fully autonomous driving (FSD) software. However, Tesla CEO Elon Musk denied this report and explained in detail the actual situation of the cooperation between the two parties. The editor of Downcodes will give you an in-depth explanation of this incident and analyze its impact on Tesla and the artificial intelligence industry.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently refuted a Wall Street Journal report that Tesla discussed revenue sharing with artificial intelligence startup xAI. The report said that according to the agreement described to investors, Tesla will use the xAI model in its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, and xAI will assist in the development of Tesla's voice assistant and Optimus robot software.
Musk said on social platform X that he believed the report was inaccurate. He clarified: Tesla learned a lot from discussions with xAI engineers, which helped accelerate the implementation of unsupervised FSD, but did not require any permission from xAI. Musk emphasized that the xAI model is too large to run on Tesla cars’ inference computers.
It is worth noting that Musk founded xAI to compete with OpenAI. According to TechCrunch, xAI plans to use data from Musk’s companies to train its models to improve the technologies of these companies. However, Tesla shareholders have filed a lawsuit over Musk's decision to start xAI, accusing him of diverting talent and resources to a potential rival company.
The announcement raised questions about the relationship between Musk's companies and the far-reaching impact of AI technology in the automotive industry. As the situation develops, investors and industry insiders will pay close attention to the potential cooperation between Tesla and xAI and its impact on the future development of both parties.
Musk's statement clarified Tesla's partnership with xAI and denied the existence of a revenue-sharing agreement. But the incident also highlights the complex relationships within big tech companies and the challenges posed by the development of artificial intelligence technology. The subsequent development deserves continued attention, and the editor of Downcodes will continue to bring you the latest reports.
