Bigger isn\u2019t always better, but sometimes it is. Cerebras Systems, a company bent on accelerating machine learning systems, built the world\u2019s largest chip last year. In the time since, it\u2019s developed bespoke solutions to some of the largest problems in the AI<\/a> industry.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2015, Cerebras is a sort of reunion tour for most of its C-suite executives. Prior to building chips the size of dinner plates, the team was responsible for Sea Micro, a company founded in 2007 that eventually sold to AMD for more than $330 million in 2012.<\/p>\n

Cerebras Systems is now valued at more than $4 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I interviewed Cerebras Systems co-founder and CEO Andrew Feldman to find out how his company was bellying up to the hardware bar in 2022 \u2014 an era marked by big tech\u2019s domination of the AI<\/a> industry.<\/p>\n

Feldman seemed unaffected by the prospect of competition from Silicon Valley\u2019s elite.<\/p>\n

According to him, Cerebras was built from the ground up to take on all comers:<\/p>\n

From day one we wanted to be in the Computer History Museum. We wanted to be in the hall of fame.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That might sound like hubris to the outsider, but the dog-eat-dog world (or more aptly, big-dog-buys-little-dog-and-absorbs-its-technology world) of computer hardware is no place for the meek.<\/p>\n

In order for Cerebras to make its mark, Feldman and his team relied on their proven track record of success and ultra-high ambitions to secure entry into the market.<\/p>\n

Per Feldman:<\/p>\n

We\u2019re system builders, which means we are unafraid of difficult problems\u2026 if you\u2019re 100-times better than (big tech\u2019s best efforts) then there\u2019s nothing they can do.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So the big<\/i> question is, are Cererbras\u2019 humongous chips that much better than the competition\u2019s? <\/span><\/p>\n

The answer: there really isn\u2019t any competition<\/em>. Its chips are more than 50X larger than the biggest GPU on the market (the kind of chip typically used to train machine learning systems). <\/span><\/p>\n
