IndianStartupNews · 1y

Cerebras Systems, an AI startup, has released a new version of its AI processor with improved performance at the same cost. Unlike traditional chip designs, Cerebras uses a single large processor rather than multiple smaller chips. The CEO, Andrew Feldman, highlighted their rapid technological advancements, moving to a five-nanometer part from a seven-nanometer process within just three years. Cerebras' third-generation chip, the Wafer-Scale Engine 3, addresses the challenge of power consumption in AI processing and boasts 4 trillion transistors and the capacity to perform 125 petaflops of computing. The company plans to sell these systems alongside Qualcomm AI 100 Ultra chips to enhance AI application performance.
