Cerebras Systems builds the world''''s largest AI chip, 56 times larger than GPUs. Our novel waferscale architecture provides the AI compute power of dozens of GPUs on a single chip, with the programming simplicity of a single device. This approach allows Cerebras to deliver industryleading training and inference speeds and empowers machine learning users to effortlessly run largescale ML applications, without the hassle of managing hundreds of GPUs or TPUs. Cerebras'''' current customers include top model labs, global enterprises, and cuttingedge AInative startups. OpenAI recently announced a multi-year partnership with Cerebras to deploy 750 megawatts of scale, transforming key workloads with ultra highspeed inference. Thanks to the groundbreaking waferscale architecture, Cerebras Inference offers the fastest Generative AI inference solution in the world, over 10 times faster than GPUbased hyperscale cloud inference services. This order of magnitude increase in speed is transforming the user experience of AI applications, unlocking realtime iteration and increasing intelligence via additional agentic computation.
