Giga Texas Datacenter

Tesla's onsite artificial intelligence training infrastructure at Gigafactory Texas. The registry carries two certifications with the same parties. Tesla reports one training cluster in production and another beginning workloads, but does not tie either cluster to a specific certification row.

What changes the reading

  • Tesla describes Cortex as onsite training infrastructure for its artificial intelligence products and services. That company description supports the use of the facility without relying on social media posts.[3][4]
  • The company reports training capacity in equivalents of a particular graphics processor. Those figures describe compute capacity and should not be read as power demand or a physical server count.[3][4]
  • The acreage and floor area cover the broader manufacturing campus. They are included as site context and do not describe the footprint of either training cluster.[2]
  • Two certification rows do not prove two buildings, and Tesla does not map the rows to the two Cortex clusters. The relationship remains unstated.[1][3][4]

Still not public

  • The physical footprint of each training cluster is not public.
  • Power capacity and measured demand for the training clusters are not public.
  • The relationship between the two certification rows and the two clusters is not stated.
  • Cooling design and measured water use for the training clusters are not public.
  • The number of physical graphics processors is not established by the equivalent capacity figures.

The registry entry for this facility comes from the Texas Comptroller's certified list of data centers holding a sales tax exemption. Owner, occupant and operator are roles in that filing rather than descriptions of who runs the building.
