"Nvidia rival Cerebras Systems' dinner plate-sized accelerators will power a new supercomputing cluster in India capable of 8 exaFLOPS of AI compute. The installation, announced in New Delhi during the AI Impact Summit this week, is part of a collaboration between the United Arab Emirates' Mohamed Bin Zayed University of AI (MBZUAI) and India's Center for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC)."
"The system itself will be deployed by the UAE's AI crown jewel, technology company G42, in a bid to bolster the nation's sovereign compute capacity. If G42 sounds familiar, that's because the UAE-based cloud provider and AI model dev is one of Cerebras' largest backers, having previously financed the chip startup's Condor Galaxy deployment effort at an estimated cost of $900 million."
Cerebras Systems' wafer-scale WSE-3 accelerators will power a new supercomputing cluster in India capable of about 8 exaFLOPS of AI compute. The installation is a collaboration between the United Arab Emirates' Mohamed Bin Zayed University of AI (MBZUAI) and India's Center for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC). The system will be deployed by UAE technology company G42 to bolster India's sovereign compute capacity. G42 has backed Cerebras previously and develops sovereign AI models such as NANDA 87B trained in Hindi and English. The supercomputer will be operated under India-defined governance, retain all data within national borders, and be made available to universities, startups, and small and mid-sized businesses.
