A recently issued patent "High Precision Complex Number Based Rotary Positional Encoding Calculation on 8-Bit Hardware. (US20260017019)
Opening Excerpt:
How does a Tesla remember a stop sign it hasn’t seen for 30 seconds, or a humanoid robot maintain perfect balance while carrying a heavy, shifting box?
It comes down to Rotary Positional Encoding (RoPE)—the "GPS of the mind" that allows AI to understand its place in space and time by assigning a unique rotational angle to every piece of data.
Usually, this math is a hardware killer. To keep these angles from "drifting" into chaos, you need power-hungry, high-heat 32-bit processors (chips that calculate with extreme decimal-point precision).
But Tesla has engineered a way to cheat the laws of physics. Freshly revealed in patent US20260017019A1, Tesla’s "MIXED-PRECISION BRIDGE" is a mathematical translator that allows inexpensive, power-sipping 8-bit hardware (which usually handles only simple, rounded numbers) to perform elite 32-bit rotations without dropping a single coordinate.
This breakthrough is the secret "Silicon Bridge" that gives Optimus and FSD high-end intelligence without sacrificing a mile of range or melting their internal circuits. It effectively turns Tesla’s efficient "budget" hardware into a high-fidelity supercomputer on wheels.
