Tesla FSD-Bot

Architecture

Neural-net brain derived from the Tesla FSD stack plus Dojo training. V3 runs on the Tesla AI5 chip (roughly 5x memory bandwidth of predecessor). On-device, vision-based, shares architecture with Tesla vehicles.

Key facts

DEPLOY maturity rationale

Optimus runs internally at Tesla factories for learning, not productive work (per Musk Q4 2025). Pilot, not commercial or production, despite mass-production ambitions

AI-silicon advantage

Tesla FSD plus Dojo training infrastructure

V3 chip

Tesla AI5 (taped out Apr 2026; Musk-stated ~5x memory bandwidth vs AI4; slated to ship first in Optimus). Musk figures, pending independent verification.

Specs disclosure

Full V3 specs unknown mid-2026; summer 2026 unveil expected; less specified than Figure 03 was at the equivalent stage

Verified-vs-claimed framing

FSD-as-precedent is mixed; the 'almost done' framing has held for nearly a decade

Dual-stack architecture

Serves as the System 1 visuomotor layer of Tesla Optimus's dual-brain architecture, paired with xAI's Grok as the System 2 conversational and reasoning layer. Grok handles natural-language reasoning while these FSD-derived neural networks handle physical perception and movement.

Common questions

What is Tesla FSD-Bot?

Tesla's neural-net brain derived from the FSD vehicle stack plus Dojo training infrastructure. V3 is expected to run on Tesla's AI5 inference chip (taped out April 2026); Musk states AI5 has roughly 5x the memory bandwidth of its predecessor (AI4) and will ship first in Optimus, though these remain Musk-stated figures pending independent verification. On-device, vision-based, sharing architecture with Tesla vehicles. The Tesla AI-silicon advantage (FSD plus Dojo) is a real engineering edge. Less specified than Figure 03's stack was at the equivalent stage; full V3 specs are unknown as of mid-2026, with a summer 2026 unveil expected. Verified-vs-claimed: FSD-as-precedent is mixed; 'almost done' for nearly a decade.

Which robots run on Tesla FSD-Bot?

4 robot models on the DEPLOY registry run on Tesla FSD-Bot: Tesla Optimus, Tesla Robotaxi (Model Y ADS), Cybercab, Semi.

Who developed Tesla FSD-Bot?

Tesla FSD-Bot is credited to Tesla on the DEPLOY registry. Each developer attribution is verified via primary sources.

Is Tesla FSD-Bot open source?

No. Tesla FSD-Bot is recorded as proprietary on the DEPLOY registry. Model weights and source are not publicly available.

What type of AI is Tesla FSD-Bot?

Tesla FSD-Bot is a foundation model, built on a Neural-net brain derived from the Tesla FSD stack plus Dojo training. V3 runs on the Tesla AI5 chip (roughly 5x memory bandwidth of predecessor). On-device, vision-based, shares architecture with Tesla vehicles. architecture on the DEPLOY registry.
