alt Hacker News> Which is to say: Grok basically failed as a frontier AI and they need to pivot to a business model which makes money.
They can just run Grok as a local AI inside Tesla cars. It's actually really efficient as a compute platform because the Tesla cars are in motion at highway speeds, which gives you lots of free airflow for shedding waste heat via the car radiator. Way more efficient than trying to run AI on space satellites.

lol, not sure if this is a joke, but Teslas do not have anything close to the necessary hardware to run grok locally.
Who’s going to be paying for the energy? People have been floating using the cars as compute for years and it just doesn’t make any financial sense for anyone.
Teslas spend a tiny percentage of their life at highway speeds, and a major selling point of the platform is that their compute would be used to pilot the vehicle.
If they could train using Teslas they wouldn't have needed Dojo.
Grok is just DOA. No need to beat a dead horse. Even Musk got that thus the reason why he is renting the stuff it planned for Grok.
