Cerebras Systems
Hardware
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.
Huawei
Hardware
Huawei's line of AI training and inference processors (NPUs) and the systems built on them -- the platform brand for the silicon itself (still called Ascend in some regional markets and in the underlying chip generation names), sold standalone and in Atlas-branded servers and SuperPoD clusters, now recorded in their own separate hardware and software-stack products.
14U AI server powered by eight Huawei 950DT NPUs, rated at up to 12.4 PFLOPS at mxFP4, for on-premises AI training and inference in finance, government and healthcare deployments.
Rack-scale AI supercomputing cabinet built from 64 Huawei 950DT NPUs per cabinet and scalable to 1,024 NPUs over a UB Link fabric for trillion-parameter model training and inference.
No counterpart
Cerebras Systems sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Huawei yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
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).
Model API
Hosted inference service that serves open-weight models on Cerebras wafer-scale hardware, billed per token.
