Tesla’s Optimus training regime leak.
Workers in its Palo Alto R&D facility have been holding “robot university” for many months already. Press got it wrong when they said it just started up.
Workers are wearing 24 lb suits with up to 40 cameras and grids of 3D sensors. To capture very detailed video and 3D fields of whatever the worker does.
There are multiple configurations.
They are given different tasks to do. They don’t know where the tasks come from.
Multiple squads are working on three shifts 24 hours a day. Similar efforts were seen at the Texas factory.
The data collection effort is immense.
A Tesla car only has nine cameras.
This leads to a data flywheel that is orders of magnitude more data than the car captured.
Separate teams are capturing home data, like making a sandwich, while other teams capture jobs on factory floor, like installing HVAC systems in cars.
Elon isn’t playing around.
I can’t tell you how I learned this.

Hyper Frames is cool but I only use my Mac when I'm on the go, other than that is Linux and Windows, so I built my own version that on the browser.🙂

The coding interview is dead, at least for my team at Anthropic. I've seen enough to know that it no longer provides signal. I removed it from loops this month.

The biggest issue I have with bot is how much usage it burns through when you have bots working together on a task. To mitigate the burn rate on my $200 ultra plan that barely last for two to three days max, I have to put tasks on a notion board. When a button card moves, it fires a webhook event to the bot that needs to complete the task. This avoid bot messaging each other to save burn rate. I have also delegated coding tasks to gpt instead of CA to just save usage for bot. It would be great if the team can build a notion like card to track tasks and connect the event to the right bot. Unless you have plans to increase usage limit or burn rate on bot to bot chat. @lingxi @poteto

Grok 4.7 is here.
It's a notable improvement over Grok 4.6 at the same price and speed.

This Chinese Tesla owner initially thought his FSD had “shadow braked” for no apparent reason—until a pedestrian suddenly came into view.
So how did FSD anticipate the pedestrian crossing and slow down in time while the view was partially blocked by two vehicles parked on the right? But FSD had already seen the pedestrian walking toward the intersection moments earlier and inferred from his trajectory that he was likely to cross the street—even after he briefly disappeared behind the parked vehicles.
That’s predictive driving by FSD, not just reacting to what the cameras can see at that exact moment.
FSD saves lives!!! 🚗🧠❤️

Terafab will be built in Grimes County, Texas
In April, we broke ground on our research fab on the North Campus of Giga Texas – the precursor to Terafab.
Both Tesla & SpaceX will need far more chips than current & future global production can supply.
This is why we're building the largest chip manufacturing facility ever, with the goal of producing over 1 terawatt of compute per year
The future is built in Texas

Ashok Elluswamy, VP of AI Software from $TSLA says eventually Robotaxi will turn on entire states at a time.
The message from the company on Robotaxi is they're doing what they said they would. Keep it safe, learn, and reading between the lines, they think they can eventually drop a bomb on Waymo.

FSD v14 Lite (for Tesla AI3 hardware vehicles) review. This is the version that’s likely going to wide release.
A few drives and over 100 miles in with the new FSD v14 lite update and here are my thoughts:
V14 lite was already quite good and this update brought some HUGE UI improvements which makes it feel so much better.
Tesla has added a great Start Self Driving from park change where you now don’t have to confirm by pressing the brake pedal to start FSD from park. Seems like a minor change but it’s a huge quality of life improvement.
Tesla has also added the same parking options tab as AI4 cars, when approaching your destination it pulls up the tab to show you your parking options at destination. It shows the blue P and you can press it mid drive as well. Something else to note is Curbside has now been changed to Pull Over just like AI4 FSD v14.3.
The Self Driving App has been added in this update just like AI4 cars, it tracks your overall percentage of FSD usage. Doing the math on my current usage/odometer it seems like the tracking started when I installed 2026.8.6. The Self Driving app shows you instructions on how to use FSD too as well as monthly stats.
This new update has also brought streaks! Just like AI4 cars it tracks your continuous streak of FSD usage. It also shows you how many days in a row you have used FSD. Got a 100 mile streak tonight and it showed confetti just like AI4.
Highway performance is SO good still. Keeps a consistent speed with no unnecessary lane changes and I saw zero left lane camping tonight. It handles high speed curves so perfectly and doesn’t ping pong and it feels so dialed in. Dare I say almost as good as AI4, almost all the way there- just wish it would accelerate stronger in hurry onto the highway when merging from the on ramp. Great lane choices and passing decisions. No traffic so it sat at 2mph slower than it used to when no cars around in standard and hurry but if a quicker car would come by it would speed up a bit. DMS might also be slightly more sensitive but it was dark out, will confirm with some more driving later today.
City streets: this update is similar than before but seems to be slightly more confident around city streets. Hurry was a bit quicker than before but I wish it would accelerate slightly stronger in hurry profile only. Really good yellow light performance on the three I encountered and had smooth braking and no overreactions. I did however see the weird turn signal bug for the second time ever tonight at a traffic light so this is still present with this update as well as the slight steering wheel wobble at around 40mph and still way improved over v12.6.4.
They definitely improved the way it leaves stop signs and lights though, slightly more linear and smooth acceleration from a stop. Obeyed both no right on red signs I encountered too. Dips and speed bump speed is perfect as it was before too. Most importantly, FSD v14 lite feels so much safer than v12.6.4.
Parking might be slightly improved in this build where it took a better approach angle like I mentioned it needs to in the previous build reviews. It still doesn’t straighten out wheel at the end which I would like to see changed. It also still “double stops” when almost done with a parking job backing up to a supercharger space. Speed might be a tad quicker than the last build as well but will get some more parking in later today to confirm my findings.
Overall, this update (2026.20.6.10) brought some massive UI changes, quality of life improvements, and really made this update feel like v14 even more. Absolutely incredible what they’ve accomplished with v14 lite on HW3 cars. Feels like I got a new car.
Thanks @teslasi and UI teams for all the hard work getting this out and I really hope it rolls wide soon!
