Tesla Cortex
Operated by Tesla at Tesla Gigafactory Texas .
Phase 1 seed dataset, compiled by hand. These rows were built from public operator, laboratory and vendor sources. A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1092 of 1153 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 40 are genuinely weakly sourced. Every claim carries its source and a confidence tier. Treat anything below verified as a lead, not a citation.

Figures are as last publicly reported for the configuration described below, not a live measurement. Where a system was upgraded in place, the post-upgrade configuration is shown and the earlier one appears in the timeline.
What this machine is made of
One row per supplier relationship. “Supplier at build” is the company that shipped the part at the time; where that company has since been acquired, the parent it rolls up to today is shown beside it. That distinction is what makes ticker-level aggregation possible across a thirty-year dataset.
| Role | Part | Supplier at build | Quantity | Confidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accelerator | NVIDIA H100 SXM5 Accelerators CUDA (Hopper GH100) · 16,896C · 1.98 GHz · TSMC 4N · 700 W Cortex, a ~50k H100 training cluster at Gigafactory Texas | NVIDIA | 50,000 reported | Reported | digitalassets.tesla.com |
| Accelerator | NVIDIA H200 SXM Accelerators CUDA (Hopper GH100) · 16,896C · 1.98 GHz · TSMC 4N · 700 W additional 16k H200 GPUs at Gigafactory Texas | NVIDIA | 16,000 reported | Reported | digitalassets.tesla.com |
AI datacenter metrics
Figures beyond an accelerator count, each with who stated it. What can and cannot be compared across AI datacenters.
| Metric | Value | As of | Basis | Note | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accelerators | 50,000 accelerators | 2024-12 | Operator stated | Tesla Q4 2024 update: Cortex, about 50k H100 training cluster at Giga Texas, deployment completed in Q4; 16k H200 added by Q2 2025 | digitalassets.tesla.com |
The read
Tesla's quarterly decks report Cortex as a roughly 50,000 H100 training cluster at Gigafactory Texas, completed in Q4 2024, and 16,000 H200 GPUs added by Q2 2025 for a total of 67,000 H100 equivalents. Both figures are Tesla's own; nobody independent confirms them, so this is reported. The first-operational month is the month of the earliest deck that shows it running, not a stated go-live date. No power, FLOPS, interconnect or cooling vendor is disclosed.
