Cerebras

Cerebras Systems is an American artificial intelligence company founded in 2015, specializing in developing revolutionary wafer-scale computer chips and AI systems for complex deep learning applications. Their flagship product, the Cerebras Wafer Scale Engine (WSE), is the largest computer chip ever built, containing over 1.2 trillion transistors. This technology offers unprecedented performance for AI training and inference, featuring high memory bandwidth, integrated on-chip storage, and specialized architecture for AI workloads. The company has recently filed for IPO and is valued at over $4 billion, marking its significant position in the AI hardware market.

Cerebras' WSE-3 chip delivers superior speed and efficiency compared to traditional GPU solutions, capable of handling models with up to 24 trillion parameters. The company's technology simplifies programming and deployment, eliminates memory bottlenecks, and accelerates the training of massive language models from months to hours. However, it comes with a high initial investment cost and relies heavily on a single customer for revenue.
