🚀 Musk launches Terafab to build chips for Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI

Elon Musk announced Terafab, a chip factory in Austin run by Tesla and SpaceX. The project aims to produce chips in-house as current suppliers cannot meet demand.

The facility will start as a smaller advanced fab capable of designing and testing chips. Plans include 2 nm production. It will make edge chips for cars and robots, plus high-power chips for space and AI workloads, with xAI as a main user.

The long-term target is up to a terawatt of compute capacity per year, including systems in orbit.

Chip supply is becoming a bottleneck for AI and robotics growth.
