"Cerebras Systems is an AI semiconductor company headquartered in Sunnyvale, California. It was founded in 2015 by Andrew Feldman, Gary Lauterbach, Michael James, Sean Lie, and Jean-Philippe Fricker. Feldman is the company's CEO. The company specializes in making the largest-quite literally-computer chips in the world, chips that are optimized for running AI tasks."
"While most computer chips are made from large wafers that are then divided to make smaller, individual chips, a single Cerebras chip is the entire wafer. As Fast Company previously reported when it named Cerebras one of the most innovative AI companies of 2026, the large size of its chips means they can perform AI tasks much more quickly-up to 70 times faster than the GPUs that many AI systems run on today."
""The large square chip packs a lot of processing power and memory on one piece of silicon, so almost no time is wasted routing data between separate chips," Fast Company 's Mark Sullivan previously noted. "That makes it highly effective at processing data from commercial AI applications that require massive throughput and very fast response times.""
"Cerebras's customers include pharmaceutical companies like AstraZeneca and GlaxoSmithKline, as well as tech firms like G42, IBM, Meta, Mistral, Notion, and Perplexity. Most recently, Cerebras inked a $20 billion deal with ChatGPT maker OpenAI."
Cerebras Systems is an AI semiconductor company based in Sunnyvale, California, founded in 2015 and led by CEO Andrew Feldman. The company builds very large chips optimized for AI workloads, using a full wafer as a single chip rather than dividing wafers into smaller units. This design concentrates processing power and memory on one piece of silicon, reducing time spent routing data between separate chips. The result is much faster AI task performance, reported as up to 70 times faster than GPUs used in many current AI systems. Customers include AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, and technology firms such as IBM, Meta, Mistral, Notion, and Perplexity, and the company recently signed a $20 billion deal with OpenAI.
