You are correct; it is, and flippant HN comments that are additionally incorrect are starting to become a thing. See the original tweet: https://twitter.com/SawyerMerritt/status/1696011140508045660

You’re being pedantic (rightfully so) and I’m being loose with words. While Dojo is the supercomputer Tesla built for vision training, I lumped anything contributing to their machine vision model training as Dojo. It’s called Dojo because that’s where the training takes place.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Dojo

From the History section (although Technical Architecure is also worthy of consuming in its entirety):

> In August 2023, Tesla powered on Dojo for production use as well as a new training cluster configured with 10,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs.

I’ll take the L wrt being flippant if we’re using words very specifically in this context, that’s fair. It’s great to see Tesla expand its training resources is my sentiment, regardless of how their aggregate ML compute is segmented.

You’re just using it wrong. Dojo “supercomputer” specifically includes custom chips, which doesn’t exist yet.
