Tesla FSD Update: HW3 Gets Distilled HW4 Model, Performance Uncertain
mobileraj · x · 2026-07-22
- Update: Tesla rolled out a new FSD update for HW3 hardware users.
- Technical Details: The update provides a new self-driving model for HW3, distilled from the larger model running on HW4.
- Implications:
- Similar performance post-distillation might indicate the original HW4 model was undertrained.
- More likely, due to HW3's memory constraints, information loss from distillation could degrade edge-case performance.
- Outlook: The author will monitor how the model performs.
