OpenAI Signs $10 Billion Compute Deal With Cerebras for Wafer-Scale AI Inference

Summary

OpenAI announced an agreement worth approximately $10 billion to deploy 750 megawatts of Cerebras' wafer-scale AI chips, with capacity coming online across multiple tranches through 2028. Cerebras will build or lease data centers filled with its chips, while OpenAI will pay to use Cerebras' cloud services to run inference for its AI products. Cerebras builds large wafer-scale chips that can deliver responses up to 15 times faster than GPU-based systems for tasks such as coding, inference, image
