Now led by Jim Keller, the company has built a new leadership team and a new strategy. It is hard to believe the difference a year makes. In 2021, there were over 100 public and venture-backed startups with the same mission, to compete with NVIDIA in producing the fast chips needed to create and run artificial intelligence (AI).

Tesla's Autopilot program head Chris Lattner, who previously exited Apple for the automaker, has announced his departure from Elon Musk's company just six months after joining it. Tesla has since revealed that computer vision expert Andrej Karpathy has joined the company's Tesla Vision project. On Tuesday, Lattner surprised everyone when he took to Twitter to announce his decision to leave Tesla. "Turns out that Tesla isn't a good fit for me at all," he wrote before adding that he's now "interested to hear about interesting roles for a seasoned engineering leader." Prior to resigning from Apple back in January, Lattner worked on the Swift programming language of the Cupertino giant.
