Tesla plans to offer machine-learning training as a web service with its new'Dojo' supercomputer, according to new comments from CEO Elon Musk. Project "Dojo" was first announced by Musk at Tesla's Autonomy Day last year: We do have a major program at Tesla which we don't have enough time to talk about today called "Dojo." The goal of Dojo will be to be able to take in vast amounts of data and train at a video level and do unsupervised massive training of vast amounts of video with the Dojo program -- or Dojo computer. Dojo means "place of the Way" in Japanese and the term is often used for a place to practice meditation or martial arts. In this case, the Dojo supercomputer will be a place for Tesla to train its Full Self-Driving AI. Last month, Musk revealed that Tesla's Dojo supercomputer will be capable of an exaFLOP, one quintillion (1018) floating-point operations per second, or 1,000 petaFLOPS.
