Cerebras Systems

Hardware

Cerebras CS-3Hardware

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.

Cerebras CS-4Hardware

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.

Cerebras WSE-3 Turbo (WSE-3T)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.

Super Micro Computer

Hardware

Supermicro Super AI StationHardware

Liquid-cooled deskside or 5U rack AI system built on one NVIDIA GB300 superchip, with 748GB of coherent memory and 20 PFLOPS of FP4, for running, fine-tuning and developing AI models and agents on premises.
