Feldman: Cerebras is 20 times faster than Nvidia B200 GPUs
“Really focused on performance, both for training and for inference. You think 20 times faster than Nvidia B 200 GPUs and it's been an amazing run.”
Feldman: Cerebras provides 2,625x more memory bandwidth than traditional GPUs
“And we have 2625 times more memory bandwidth than the GPU does.”
Feldman: AI startups are replacing closed-source models with fine-tuned open-source
“I think for sort of AI companies like Cognition, like all your competitors, like AlphaSense, like dozens of others, they are trying to replace closed source models with very, very fast open source models, and they're trying to drive the open source Accuracy dr…”
Feldman: Cerebras raised $1.1B at an $8.1B valuation
“So we announced a 1.1 billion dollar fundraise that we had completed. It was done at an 8.1 billion dollar post money valuation, and it was led by Fidelity and Atreides management.”
Feldman: Multi-chip SRAM architectures make speculative decoding extremely difficult
“It limits the things you can do. It makes all sorts of cool AI techniques like speculative decode extremely difficult. Whereas if you have a giant chip, you might only need a handful.”
Enterprises retrain 10B-30B open models from scratch for legal data compliance
“We see at the large enterprise level, particularly those who have large data assets, a desire to train their own models and to go a little smaller, say in the 10 to thirty billion parameter category. I think especially the very large companies, enterprises hav…”
