About Cerebras Systems
Cerebras Systems builds AI processors around the Wafer-Scale Engine, a single chip made from an entire silicon wafer rather than a cut die. The third generation, WSE-3, powers the company's CS-3 systems, which it sells for on-premises use and also offers as cloud inference and training services. Cerebras is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California. It listed on Nasdaq under the ticker CBRS on May 14, 2026, after pricing its initial public offering at $185 per share.
Cerebras Systems was founded in 2015 and is based in Sunnyvale, CA, United States. It is listed under TPUs, AI Accelerators, HPC & AI Systems. Reported funding is IPO May 14, 2026 ($5.55B raised, ~$95B market cap on Nasdaq).

What Cerebras Systems works on
TPUs
A TPU, or tensor processing unit, is a chip designed by Google to run machine learning. A tensor is a grid of numbers, and neural networks are mostly built from multiplying such grids. A TPU is organised around doing that one operation very efficiently.
AI Accelerators
An AI accelerator is a chip, or a part of a chip, designed to run machine learning faster or with less energy than a general-purpose processor. The category includes GPUs, TPUs, neural processing units (NPUs) and chips from many startups.
HPC & AI Systems
High-performance computing (HPC) means using very large clusters of processors working together to solve problems that one machine cannot handle in a reasonable time. These clusters are called supercomputers. They run weather models, physics simulations and, increasingly, AI training.
