Wafer-Scale Engine
A wafer-scale AI accelerator chip developed by Cerebras Systems. By integrating an extremely large number of compute cores and on-chip memory across an entire silicon wafer, it eliminates the interconnect bottlenecks of conventional multi-chip designs, delivers high memory bandwidth, and is suited for large model training and inference.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Specialized inference chips (such as Cerebras's wafer-scale engine, Groq's LPU, etc.) and model optimization techniques are driving AI inference costs down rapidly.
The Cerebras wafer-scale engine has an area exceeding 46,000 square millimeters, while a conventional GPU is approximately 800 square millimeters.
