Elon Musk Announces New AI and Hardware Initiative Called Macrohard
埃隆·馬斯克宣布名為「Macrohard」的全新人工智慧與硬體計畫
On March 11, 2026, Elon Musk unveiled a groundbreaking initiative named "Macrohard," a joint venture between Tesla and his startup, xAI.
2026年3月11日，伊隆·馬斯克（ㄧㄌㄨㄥˊㄇㄚˇㄙㄔㄎㄜˋ）發布了一項名為「Macrohard」的開創性計畫，這是特斯拉（ㄊㄜˋㄙㄌㄚ）與其新創公司 xAI 之間的合資企業。
Also known as "Digital Optimus," this project aims to create an "agentic AI" system capable of managing complex, multi-step tasks autonomously.
該計畫又稱「數位Optimus」，旨在創建一個能夠自主管理複雜、多步驟任務的「代理型AI（ㄉㄞˋㄧㄝˋㄒㄧㄥˊAI）」系統。
The project is divided into two parts: a "Navigator" brain powered by Grok, which plans tasks, and a Tesla-engineered "Execution" agent that physically controls mouse and keyboard inputs by processing on-screen data.
該計畫分為兩個部分：由 Grok 提供動力的「領航員」大腦，負責規劃任務；以及由特斯拉設計的「執行」代理，透過處理螢幕數據來物理控制滑鼠與鍵盤輸入。「
The name "Macrohard" serves as a playful jab at Microsoft, highlighting Musk's competitive ambition.
Macrohard」這個名字是對微軟（ㄨㄟㄖㄨㄢˇ）的俏皮嘲諷，凸顯了馬斯克的競爭野心。
To keep costs low, the system utilizes Tesla's affordable AI4 chips alongside powerful Nvidia hardware.
為了降低成本，該系統除了使用強大的 Nvidia 硬體外，還利用了特斯拉實惠的 AI4 晶片。
This collaboration is a significant result of the deepening ties between Musk’s companies, including a recent merger with SpaceX.
此次合作是馬斯克旗下公司間關係深化的一大成果，其中包括最近與 SpaceX 的合併。
While the initiative positions itself at the forefront of the growing agentic AI trend, it also faces scrutiny from shareholders concerned about the allocation of Tesla's resources.
儘管該計畫將自身定位在日益增長的代理型AI趨勢的最前線，但它也面臨股東們對特斯拉資源分配問題的審視。
