Tesla  CEO Elon Musk said that the ​automaker may be able to ‘tape out’ its next-generation AI6 ​chips in December, reports Reuters.

Tape out is a stage when a chip design is finalised and sent to a factory ​for production.

Musk said last year ⁠that Samsung Electronics would make ​the AI6 chips, likely to be ​used in self-driving cars and humanoid robots at Tesla’ new factory in Taylor, Texas.

This statement came ​after the Korean company clinched a $16.5 ​billion deal to supply artificial intelligence chips ‌to ⁠Tesla.

“With some luck and acceleration using AI, we might be able to tape out AI6 ​in December,” ​Musk ⁠said on his social media platform X, when asked ​when the chip would reach ​final ⁠design.

A Samsung executive said that it plans to produce Tesla chips, ⁠based ​on Samsung’s advanced 2-nanometer ​process, in the second half of 2027.
