Tesla to streamline its AI chip design work, Musk says
Aug 8 (Reuters) - Tesla will streamline its AI chip research to focus on its development of inference chips used to run AI models and make real-time decisions, CEO Elon Musk said, after a media report he had ordered the closure of the in-house Dojo supercomputer team. Bloomberg News on Thursday cited people familiar with the matter as saying Musk had ordered the Dojo team to be disbanded, with team leader Peter Bannon departing the company. Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab did not reply to a Reuters request for comment. The Dojo supercomputer was designed around custom training chips to process vast amounts of data and video from Tesla EVs to train the automaker's autonomous-driving software. "It doesn't make sense for Tesla to divide its resources and scale two quite different AI chip designs," Musk said in an X post late on Thursday. "The Tesla AI5, AI6 and subsequent chips will be excellent for inference and at least pretty good for training. All effort is focused on that," he said, without directly mentioning Dojo. Tesla has been undergoing a wide-ranging restructuring over the past year, with its share price slumping as sales of its EVs were hit by rising competition and a backlash by European consumers in particular against Musk's political views. The company has seen multiple executive departures and cut thousands of jobs, and redirected its focus to AI-driven self-driving technology and robotics, with Musk pursuing an integration strategy across his tech business empire. Musk has previously said that next-generation AI5 chips would be produced at the end of 2026 and announced last month a $16.5 billion deal to source AI6 chips from Samsung Electronics ( opens new tab, without providing a production timeline. He has said that future AI inference chips, including AI6, would be deployed in self-driving vehicles and its Optimus humanoid robots, though he has noted the substantial computing power could enable broader AI applications. The Dojo team recently lost about 20 workers to newly-formed DensityAI, and the remaining workers are being reassigned to other data center and compute projects within Tesla, the Bloomberg report said.

A new tax system is coming – here's what the self-employed and freelancers need to know
SPONSORED BY TRADING 212 The Independent Money channel is brought to you by Trading 212. Millions of sole traders and landlords have just months to prepare for massive changes to the tax system that take effect next year. From 6 April 2026, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD ITSA) will apply to sole traders and landlords whose combined gross income from self-employment and/or property exceeds £50,000 a year. If this applies to you, you'll need to keep digital records and use HMRC -compatible software to submit four quarterly updates and then a 'final declaration' to HMRC each year. This will replace the current self-assessment tax return. The Government claims MTD will 'modernise the tax system' and 'reduce the tax gap'. But critics says HMRC's communication on the subject has been woefully lacking, with the new regime set to cost freelancers and landlords time and money. Manase Mtopa, head of UK at accounting service Hnry, says: 'Filing of taxes used to be a free service completed annually, so introducing the need to use software quarterly will invariably introduce costs to the taxpayer. The self-employed are often paying for a business bank account and accountant already so this is an unwelcome cost.' Whatever your view, MTD is on its way and it's best to prepare now. Who is affected by MTD? If you're a sole trader and/or landlord with a qualifying income of more than £50,000 for the 2024/25 tax year, you'll need to comply with MTD from 6 April 2026. The threshold falls to £30,000 from April 2027, and then to £20,000 in April 2028. MTD has already been introduced for VAT-registered businesses. These firms will have a headstart when complying with MTD IT rules – but it will be a major change for other sole traders and landlords. I'm a sole trader. What do I need to do? From April 2026, everyone who falls under MTD will need to make quarterly digital submissions to HMRC. These will include a summary of income and expenses for each quarter, with deadlines on the 7th of the month after the quarter ends. No tax is calculated or payable at this stage – it's just reporting. By 31 January following the tax year end (i.e. 31 January 2028 for the 2026/27 tax year), a 'final declaration' becomes due. This will be similar to the current self-assessment return, but will be pre-populated with the income and expenses from the quarterly updates already filed. However, those entries will need to be adjusted for accounting and tax purposes – for example, disallowing elements of private use or capital expenditure. The payment deadline dates for income tax will remain the same as under the current self-assessment system: 31 January and 31 July each year. What software do I need? All submissions must be made through MTD-compatible software. You can either use 'bridging' software which submits data from spreadsheets to HMRC, or full-MTD compatible software which does everything. A list of compatible software providers is available on the website, including free and paid-for offerings from firms such as Coconut, 123 Sheets, FreeAgent and Xero. Arjun Kumar, founder of Taxd, says: 'There's a misconception that you have to use expensive, fully integrated software for this. The truth is, you can still use a simple spreadsheet for your digital records. 'However, software is the smart choice. It can connect directly to your accounts, automatically categorising everything and keeping you audit-ready. For those who are wary of that level of integration, 'bridging software' is the perfect middle-ground, it simply sends your quarterly data to HMRC without needing direct access to your books.' Are taxpayers ready for the new regime? A survey by accounting software firm FreeAgent found a worrying lack of knowledge about MTD – almost two in every five (39 per cent) survey respondents said they had never even heard of it. Jon Martingale, head of product management at FreeAgent, says: 'This lack of clarity seems to stem from the complexity of the changes and the varied ways people access information. While many are turning to software providers or accountants for support, our data shows that nearly 60 per cent still feel they haven't had enough guidance to fully understand what's coming.' Despite doing a thoroughly dismal job of publicising MTD, HMRC is introducing a points-based penalty system for non-compliance from April 2026. Each late quarterly submission earns one penalty point, with four points equalling a £200 penalty. Points expire after 24 months if compliance improves. 'This system is more lenient than immediate fines, especially for occasional mistakes, and gives taxpayers a chance to improve. However, for those who consistently miss deadlines, the fines can add up,' says Brad Wilkinson at accountancy practice Ascendis, 'Whether they're 'fair' is subjective. Some argue that the system is burdensome, especially for landlords or sole traders with simple tax affairs. Supporters say it encourages better compliance and brings tax in line with modern digital standards.' Sole traders and landlords can sign up to a HMRC pilot programme now – this will aid in getting to grips with the new system before April.

New Hyundai Tucson to get tough and mean
A brand-new Hyundai Tucson is set to be introduced to the UK in the second half of next year – and our exclusive images show you what to expect. This crucial model will introduce a tougher and more rugged exterior design, a hi-tech interior and fresh hybrid powertrains, giving it the ammunition it'll need to take on its key rivals – many of which have recently been updated themselves. Advertisement - Article continues below Hyundai has been tight-lipped about information specific to the Tucson, but the brand has released lots of broad details about new tech that will be used on the model. And given that it has been seen on test, its development appears to be more advanced than previously thought. Based on the first full-body prototypes spied in Germany, our exclusive images show that the changes will start with a more rugged and blocky look that references the brand's hydrogen fuel-cell Nexo SUV. Can't wait for the next-generation Hyundai Tucson? You can buy a new version of the current Hyundai Tucson from stock with our Find a Car Service, or find great deals on a used Hyundai Tucson now. Hyundai's chief exterior designer, Simon Loasby, told us: 'Art of Steel is our next-generation design language that we launched last year, and you'll see that on multiple new models. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below 'We don't like to do nesting dolls, but you'll see how that is developed across a range of products. We've got a busy two years of new stuff coming,' Loasby added. The language can be seen in elements such as the much more upright nose, clamshell bonnet and chunky wheelarch cladding. The front bumper will integrate a lightbar across its face, with the main headlight units sitting lower down. Advertisement - Article continues below The windscreen has a wraparound style, thanks to the use of blacked-out pillars. These also frame large side windows to create a more upright silhouette than on the current model. This more rugged design is in harmony with the latest Hyundai Santa Fe, and is a distinct departure from the current Tucson's dramatically rising windowline and complex body. The tailgate will be quite upright compared with the current model's to allow for a more open and versatile boot. The SUV will also sit on a set of large, intricately styled wheels in round wheelarches. Inside, we expect to see a brand-new tech package that informs the overall interior design. Loasby said: 'It'll be a much more comfortable and calm space than a tech fest. That's been our balance with the product. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below 'Over the next two years you'll see our next generation of interiors coming out. The safest way to drive is to keep our customers' eyes on the road, so you build your philosophy around that. You quite quickly realise that the centre screen is actually just a distraction.' This suggests the Tucson will balance the use of screens and physical controls, and avoid the integration of oversized digital interfaces. Instead, we expect there to be new displays high up on the dash, with key physical controls for the most-used controls and commands. Advertisement - Article continues below 'We believe nine is the best number of both legal and physical, regular interactions,' Loasby added. 'They're all physical buttons and they will stay physical buttons because they are things that I want to adjust without looking away [from the road].' Beyond this, the Tucson should retain its versatile five-seat interior, with lots of rear legroom and a decent boot. With such a wide remit as a key car in all global markets, the Tucson will be available with a range of powertrains, but hybrids will take precedence in the UK and Europe. Expect a range of mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid options, with a new generation of full-hybrids the most important addition. Developed in-house by Hyundai for its next-generation models, the new hybrid system will combine a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with two e-motors – a large one mounted in the gearbox, and the other acting as a starter generator. Hyundai says this powertrain improves efficiency by more than four per cent compared with the previous system, while offering more torque and better driveability. Peak power is yet to be confirmed, but torque will be 380Nm – 13Nm more than the brand's previous hybrid set-up in this class. There won't be a full-electric version – electric car buyers will be catered for by the forthcoming Ioniq 4 – but there is likely to be a hot N model with a new high-spec hybrid powertrain.
