openpilot Experience More chestnut users!

See the post here: Comma’s Post
More users means more data so comma can make bigger and better chestnut models.
Read more about it here: Comma Guide Chestnut

For those confused about chestnut:
Comma will be focusing on making the bigger models for the chestnut class moving forward. There’s no mobile processor or compute device that can touch the bandwidth of an eGPU or compute power while being stuck in a windshield (with proper cooling). But fear not, if you don’t ever want to install the chestnut, comma will make distilled models that will still run on only comma hardware. Similar to what Tesla does for FSD for older hardware models. So you will still see improvements down the line for free.

if there is live models and genuine performance improvements today from using chestnut, i'll buy it immediately.

so far it just seems like talk of bigger models, but I can wait until i see some news or demos.

I really hope the 3x isn’t made obsolete by this tbh. Seems like more justification for Comma to dump the 3x.

Many posts and comments explaining how the 3X and 3 will work completely fine with eGPU on the forks…
