According to Tim Zaman, a Tesla Engineering Manager, Tesla will sponsor the Machine Learning & Systems Conference (MLSYS) and exhibit its freshly updated GPU. The GPU supercomputer owned by Tesla just received an upgrade to 7360 A-100(80GB) GPUs, placing it in the top seven by GPU count.

The 80GB version of the NVIDIA A100, which will be released in 2020, has double the storage space and slightly more than 2 terabytes per second of memory bandwidth. This enables the A100 to receive data quickly. The company's A100 Tensor Core GPUs are combined with high-speed interconnects to create the most powerful servers in the world. The NVIDIA A100 80GB offers up to a 3x speedup and allows the training of the largest models with more parameters that fit into a single HGX-powered server. Attendees must wear masks, get immunised, and engage in social distancing in order to attend the MLSYS conference, which is only available in person. In the areas of machine learning and systems, the conference attempts to uncover best practises and design principles for learning systems.

The conference is being sponsored by Tesla, and there will be a booth there with job openings for its AI team. August 29, 2022 marks the start of the conference, which lasts through September 1, 2022. On September 30, 2022, Tesla will also host its second AI Day event, at which the company is anticipated to present a working prototype of the Optimus Bot, a humanoid robot.

Elon Musk expressed his expectation that Tesla would have an intriguing prototype to show people in an interview with Bloomberg's Editor-in-Chief, John Micklethwait. He also mentioned Tesla's extremely skilled team and made some additional intriguing comments about what Tesla will reveal at AI Day.

Elon Musk said, "We have these kinds of AI Day events to basically underline that Tesla is a lot more than a car company and that, in my perspective, we are the leading real-world AI firm that exists.
