Comma.ai launches 'chestnut' hardware upgrade for larger AI models

Comma.ai has launched "chestnut," a new hardware upgrade designed to boost the computational power of their comma four devices for running larger AI models. This upgrade, which includes an AMD Radeon RX 9060 8GB GPU, provides compute capabilities comparable to Tesla's HW4. Alongside the hardware, Comma.ai is releasing a new 1 billion parameter driving model, the first in their "chestnut-class" series, which is significantly larger than previous on-device models and aims to accelerate development. AI

IMPACT Enables running larger, more capable AI models on edge devices, potentially improving autonomous driving systems.
