“There's another milestone that's important we want to get to, which is to integrate the Tesla AI5 chip into Optimus, which, if things go according to plan, will be in approximately April of next year. And that's a giant improvement in capability — an order of magnitude more compute, AI5 versus AI4.”
AI5 entered trial production at Samsung's Texas fab in September 2026; Musk targets volume integration into Optimus around April 2027.
