Cerebras Unveils World's Largest AI Chip, Powering Next-Gen Supercomputer

The Wafer Scale Engine 3 chip sets a new benchmark in AI computing, aiming to revolutionize AI model training and inference optimization.

  • Cerebras Systems unveils the Wafer Scale Engine 3 (WSE-3), the world's largest AI chip, boasting 4 trillion transistors and 900,000 AI cores.
  • The WSE-3 chip will power the Condor Galaxy 3 supercomputer, capable of 8 exaFLOPs, doubling the performance of its predecessor at the same power and cost.
  • Condor Galaxy 3, under construction in Dallas, Texas, will join the Condor Galaxy network, aiming for a total of 16 exaFLOPs and future expansion to over 55 exaFLOPs.
  • Cerebras' partnership with Qualcomm aims to optimize AI inference, potentially reducing costs by 10 times through techniques like sparsity and speculative decoding.
  • The CS-3 AI supercomputer, powered by WSE-3, is designed to train AI models up to 24 trillion parameters, significantly larger than current models like GPT-4.
