AI Chip Giant Cerebras Valued at $23 Billion
7 Feb
Summary
- Cerebras raised $1 billion, reaching a $23 billion valuation.
- Its massive Wafer Scale Engine chip processes AI tasks rapidly.
- A $10 billion deal with OpenAI was signed last month.

AI chip manufacturer Cerebras Systems announced it has raised $1 billion in new capital, achieving a valuation of $23 billion. This marks a significant increase from its previous valuation of $8.1 billion just six months prior. The funding round was led by Tiger Global, with substantial investment from early backer Benchmark Capital.
Cerebras' distinct technology lies in its Wafer Scale Engine, a massive chip measuring approximately 8.5 inches square. This chip integrates 4 trillion transistors and 900,000 specialized cores, designed to accelerate AI calculations and inference tasks far beyond conventional systems.
Momentum for Cerebras has grown with a recent multi-year agreement valued at over $10 billion to supply 750 megawatts of computing power to OpenAI. This partnership, extending through 2028, aims to enhance OpenAI's AI query response times.
