Cerebras

Researched by DeployBrief

A different shape of AI computing.

Cerebras builds processors around a silicon wafer rather than a conventional small chip. Its systems are designed for AI computing, with cloud services that let developers use them without owning the hardware.

Meet Cerebras.

AI needs both training, when a model learns, and inference, when that model produces an answer. Cerebras develops hardware and systems for that computing work, using a wafer-scale design that keeps a large amount of processing on one piece of silicon.

The company was founded in 2015 to bring wafer-scale computing to market. Its development has moved through successive processors and systems, with the CS-4 system introduced in 2026. Organisations can use its systems in their own computing infrastructure.

Developers can also access Cerebras through its inference cloud and API. That is a way to run supported models without installing a Cerebras system. It is aimed at applications where the time spent waiting for a model’s output matters, such as interactive tools and agents.

Cloud and API

Cerebras Inference

Cloud access for running supported AI models. Developers can connect an application through an API rather than managing the specialist hardware themselves.

AI processor

Wafer-Scale Engine

The processor architecture behind Cerebras systems. It uses a silicon wafer as the basis for a large AI chip, taking a different route from conventional processor designs.
