Tesla began rolling out its Full Self-Driving (FSD) model 12.5 to some testers past staff on late Monday night. That is the model that may finally convey FSD to Cybertruck.
However many seeing FSD 12.5 have been solely on autos with {Hardware} 4 (HW4), equivalent to @WholeMarsBlog. When he requested Tesla CEO Elon Musk on X, “Are you able to affirm whether or not that is the following gen mannequin with 5x parameter rely you described in a earlier X submit? In that case, I think about HW3 will run a quantized model or one thing?”.
That’s when Musk replied on Tuesday, “We’re specializing in simply Mannequin Y with HW4 for the preliminary launch. Make it possible for works properly, then broaden. This has the 5X improve in parameters. HW3 would run the identical parameter rely, however requires further work to optimize the code.”
This construct doesn’t but have a merged metropolis and freeway code but, as promised.
Newer Tesla autos with HW4 have a extra highly effective pc, plus cameras with increased decision. Hopefully the discharge of FSD 12.5 will quickly make its technique to HW3 autos. Musk didn’t make clear the timeline, however we might hear extra on immediately’s Q2 earnings name.
