Cerebras Systems builds the world's largest AI chip, 56 times larger than GPUs. Our novel wafer-scale 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 industry-leading training and inference speeds and empowers machine learning users to effortlessly run large-scale ML applications, without the hassle of managing hundreds of GPUs or TPUs. 

Cerebras' current customers include top model labs, global enterprises, and cutting-edge AI-native startups. OpenAI recently announced a multi-year partnership with Cerebras, to deploy 750 megawatts of scale, transforming key workloads with ultra high-speed inference. 

Thanks to the groundbreaking wafer-scale architecture, Cerebras Inference offers the fastest Generative AI inference solution in the world, over 10 times faster than GPU-based hyperscale cloud inference services. This order of magnitude increase in speed is transforming the user experience of AI applications, unlocking real-time iteration and increasing intelligence via additional agentic computation.

Our customers span leading AI Native companies, Fortune 500 Enterprises, Sovereign AI and Federal programs, and leading research institutions. Our mission is to deliver the platform that unlocks the next generation of AI applications, providing the fundamentally new capability to leverage the most intelligent models at real-time serving speeds.

Why Cerebras? 

Here at Cerebras, we have built the world’s first wafer-scale compute platform and software stack, purpose-designed to accelerate generative AI by over 10-20x what is possible on legacy processors today. AI developers are limited today by the constant tradeoffs between model quality, speed, and cost, and Cerebras’ mission is to remove these limitations to unlock AI creativity and potential. 

• Unmatched speed. Our third-generation Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE-3) delivers sub-ms inference latencies and training throughput that eclipses GPU clusters by over 10x. Think instant code generation, instant design creation, agents that interact seamlessly and responsively to their users and environment. 
• Full-stack innovation. From custom silicon to compilers, model research, and turnkey cloud inference, we are innovating and integrating at every layer so customers can focus on breakthroughs, not bottlenecks.
• Real-world impact. Cerebras customers are transforming industries across healthcare, energy, science, government, startup ecosystems, and more. We’re proud to be serving customers spanning the Fortune 500, government labs, and AI-native unicorns.
• Backed to win. Cerebrasis supported by top investors, like Benchmark, Altimeter, Eclipse, and Coatue.
• Fearless and fun culture. We’re a close-knit, creative team that tackles all challenges with optimism and collaboration. We’ve already productized the world’s largest chip by over 50x. How hard can the next problem be? :)
