Elon Musk says Tesla’s Digital Optimus AI can now play halfway through Diablo’s campaign. It also performs well in Counter-Strike. League of Legends is currently in training. The goal is to generalize skills across all games. The system learns from screen input like a human player. It uses keyboard and mouse controls. Tesla aims to apply these skills to everyday software. The project combines Tesla’s real-time AI with Grok’s reasoning. It may eventually run on AI4 hardware in parked Tesla vehicles. A new job listing seeks engineers for its Gaming Track.
