Many brilliant engineers working to make this better every day. And the next gen of improvements are just starting :)

After 12 hours with FSDBeta v12.3, I can confidently say we've made a step change in vehicular autonomy. While it's not ready for unsupervised use, the improvement is stark. If my experience is the result of being overfit due to the @Tesla_AI ADAS drivers' countless hours

"everybody's gangsta until real-world, at-scale deployment" If you haven't tried FSD yet, check out the amazing progress we've made recently. And it'll get better! 🚀

I would personally never buy a car without FSD. It's the most valuable software I have ever installed in any of my devices, saved me an incredible amount of time and mental energy. This mind blowing experience is now even more broadly available and accessible!

I'm excited to share that I joined @kvogt , @pariljain , and @lukeholoubek , as part of the founding team at @thebotcompany (join us at )! Tesla will achieve self-driving and have the biggest autonomous fleet in the world. This became obvious to us internally

Announcing Grok! Grok is an AI modeled after the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, so intended to answer almost anything and, far harder, even suggest what questions to ask! Grok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don’t use

Behaviors emerging from a BIG fleet and expert demonstrations are fascinating because good data disproportionately affects results! Combined with hardcore talent that can build an incredible AI ecosystem, it's a winning recipe 🥳 Wanna be part of it? We are hiring @Tesla_AI !

Super impressed by the latest @Tesla FSD. It drives eerily natural, and handled very weird scenarios with no hesitation. I've ridden for hundreds of hours in driverless cars, and although it's not perfect and I'm a tiny sample, this is exciting! And no, not an April Fools.

@teslius the camera team does an incredible job making sure we can see in the complex conditions; it's a non obvious problem that many don't even think of, but fundamental for the system like many others :)

The most underrated resource in machine learning is the quality of data Most papers focus on model improvements, very few survive the test of replicating those improvements at scale

Which startup will try to solve everything with LLMs? Language already grounds and describes processes + other sensorial inputs. PixelCNN was similar to LLMs — predict a token (pixel) at a time based on previous predictions + context. How much further can it go?

Really cool demonstration of the space where hyperparameter search happens. Big networks probably have very elaborate fractals there

Have you ever done a dense grid search over neural network hyperparameters? Like a *really dense* grid search? It looks like this (!!). Blueish colors correspond to hyperparameters for which training converges, redish colors to hyperparameters for which training diverges.

Interesting example — local information is misleading and strong global context is required. Similaly in self driving there are e.g. fuel transport trucks which have reflective trailers; suddenly there's a mirror copy of your car facing you

@shivon We're not evolved enough to detect the others, and also not notorious enough for them to care to check if we're listening. Maybe we'll find out when they decide to demolish our planet to make a hyperspace express route (;)). Gotta become interplanetary before that

There's a fine balance between practical and "production ready" In hardware, not many changes are coming regularly so prod makes sense But, in software, making it too perfect and following many abstractions makes it hard to test crazy new ideas and make large advances
