In a sense this wasn't from Tesla the car company, but Tesla the IT department with a supercomputer. I don't know what they do on it though, might be lots of physics simulations (aerodynamics etc) or deep learning for assisted driving tech.

They train an end-to-end model to drive based on 8 camera streams and recorded input from human drivers, training on tens, (if not hundreds now) of millions of 30 second clips from their consumer fleet. That's why they're bought one of the largest GPU clusters and making their own chips and transport protocols.

It's not widely known, but Tesla probably has one of the largest training cluster, because practically all the GPUs they buy go towards training, while most of GPUs for e.g. OpenAI go towards inference. Tesla does inference in the car.

In older interviews Musk said that the Dojo is intended for deep learning.

So most likely that. I agree that this seems to have very little to do with cars.
