Cerebras Systems

Cerebras Systems is a leading artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure company that designs and builds the world's most powerful AI supercomputers for massive-scale deep learning. The company is famous for creating the 'Wafer-Scale Engine' (WSE), the largest and fastest AI processor ever built, which integrates an entire silicon wafer's worth of compute and memory into a single chip. This architecture eliminates the traditional communication bottlenecks found in clusters of standard GPUs. In the pharmaceutical and life sciences sectors, Cerebras technology is utilized to radically accelerate drug discovery, molecular modeling, and genomic research. By providing orders of magnitude faster compute than legacy systems, Cerebras enables researchers at organizations like GSK, AstraZeneca, and the Mayo Clinic to train complex models (such as transformer-based language models for proteins or epigenomics) in hours or days rather than weeks or months. The company operates both as a hardware provider and a cloud-based inference-as-a-service platform.
