Cerebras Systems
Platform
Managed training/fine-tuning cloud for models from 1B to tens-of-trillions of parameters without manual sharding or model-parallelism configuration, billed pay-per-hour or pay-per-model (Cerebras-run custom training).
Hardware
Wafer-scale AI system built around the WSE-3 chip for organisations that run their own AI and HPC supercomputer; scales up to 24-trillion-parameter models on a single logical device and clusters from 1 to 2048 systems.
Rack-scale AI system built on three WSE-3 Turbo wafers per system and the Nexus rack-scale platform, aimed at ultrafast inference for frontier models; Cerebras says first shipments begin this quarter.
Wafer-scale processor — now WSE-3 Turbo (WSE-3T), four trillion transistors and 900,000 AI cores — sold inside Cerebras' rack-scale systems: three WSE-3T processors power the CS-4, the successor to the WSE-3-based CS-3.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise
Platform
An agentic AIOps system HPE sells to its GreenLake subscription customers to automate and operate IT/network infrastructure.
Hardware
