Report: Tesla AI5 Chip in Trial Production at Samsung Facility

South Korea's Global Economic Daily reports Tesla's AI5 chip is in trial production at Samsung's Taylor facility, with 2nm mass production targeted for 2027. A purported engineer's allegations about Tesla seeking sensitive foundry information, audit rights and steep discounts remain unverified. The report also says CXMT could reach 500,000–600,000 DRAM wafers monthly by late 2028, while analysts estimate Samsung retains a 5–7-year technology lead.
