Recruiting at Tesla AI for Core Autonomy (Autopilot & Optimus)

[Shashank Sangar @ShashankTesla]

Unified World Models: From Video Prediction to Actionable Policy @TeslaAI

We’re training action-conditioned world models on millions of hours of real world video. The goal: a physics-respecting neural simulator powering FSD and Optimus.

Tired of "AI slop"? We’re building generalized Video Action Models (VAMs) at unmatched scale! Solving for the long-tail of reality via generative rollouts, diffusion priors, and spatiotemporal transformers.

The Challenge: Bridge navigation and manipulation via multimodal omni-models. Deploy safety critical policies directly to a fleet of millions of vehicles and bots. Research → Production in months, not years.

The Stack: Largest real-world video dataset in existence. Massive compute clusters for distributed training.

A group of incredibly talented and dedicated engineers made Cybercab happen.

If you want to join them, we’re hiring AI engineers across the board: scaling, data, RL, reasoning, evals, world models, audio, distillation, inference, quantization, infra, and more.

Check out https://t.co/5ApiHS5YlX, or DM me your most impressive work.

Leaving Austin and the hotel staff casually asked me if I was expecting a ride with or without a human driver. The future is here.

Big day today for the future of transportation!

The greatest privilege of my life is being able to work with incredible people to create amazing products

[Ashok Elluswamy @aelluswamy]

Using FSD is far safer than driving manually, as measured over 12 billion miles of its use. Safer by a margin of 2x the miles between collisions!

It can do so, because, FSD is trained on corner cases extracted from more than a 1000 lifetimes of driving. It has learnt to accurately predict the probability of collision even for crazy cases such others running red lights, swerving into us, kids running into roads and such. Do watch the full video for some highlights.

A no-brainer way to significantly improve your and your family's safety is to get a Tesla with FSD. It also completely takes the stress out of driving. Not saying this just because I work at Tesla, rather that it's genuinely a great product already and is continuing to get even better.

23 years ago, we set out to prove that electric cars could be great – not just great electric cars, but the best cars overall.

We’ve gone from one electric sports car to 
– Over 9 million vehicles on the road

– Model Y becoming the world’s best-selling car of any kind only 3 years after first deliveries  

– 5 Gigafactories & other manufacturing sites across 3 continents

– The largest & most reliable fast charging network w/ over 80,000 Superchargers globally 

– Energy generation & storage systems helping power homes & grids (over 1 million Powerwalls installed, 70+ GWh of industrial energy storage operating globally across 2,200+ projects)

Today, we’re bringing AI into the real world with autonomy @teslasi and robotics @Tesla_Optimus. 

Tesla is only getting started – a world of amazing abundance awaits

Real-world AI is about solving for the edge case, not the average case

[Phil Duan @pduan]

. @teslasi is at CVPR this week. We have a few presentations at the workshops sharing our recent progress. We also have a booth in the exhibition hall where you can meet the Optimus robot, try our world model simulator, and sign up for FSD demo rides.

We’re also hiring across FSD, Optimus, and Digital Optimus (computer use). Come meet the team, learn more about the roles, and explore what we’re building.

[Rohan Dhesikan @RohanDkn]

Come to the @teslasi booth at CVPR to chat about all things related to physical AI and try out the demos!

[Tesla Super Intelligence @TeslaSI]

Come visit our CVPR booth for hands-on experiences:

– Neural video generation + sim drive
– Selfies with @Tesla_Optimus
– Real FSD test drives in Tesla models of your choice

Chat directly with the team behind it, including @aelluswamy & @pduan and other engineers to get answers to your questions. Recruiters are also on-site for career opportunities.

While others talk about autonomous driving, Tesla is the only one solving it in the real world with a true long-term approach. Come experience live demos and grab some swag!

[Tesla Super Intelligence @TeslaSI]

.@aelluswamy will discuss our approach to foundation models for robotics at CVPR today

Room 603, 3:30pm local time

Covering architecture, large-scale multimodal training, end-to-end control, safety & deployment

Come swing by booth 255 for live demos after!
