Cerebras
AI chip company building the Wafer Scale Engine (WSE); massive wafer-sized chips for training and inference.
Think of it like
The ambitious alternative; betting on a different chip design philosophy.
Example
Cerebras WSE is bigger than traditional GPUs; claims faster training.
How it actually works
Cerebras builds full-wafer chips (no chiplets) to reduce latency and increase compute density. High-risk bet; used by enterprises for large-scale training.
For product teams
Differentiation through silicon; hard to execute.
For engineers
Cerebras is a real alternative to NVIDIA for large-scale training; ecosystem smaller.
