Cerebras builds wafer-scale processors for AI workloads, with the CS-4 system as its current hardware generation according to its website. The company sells systems and also operates its own cloud, offering inference of open-weight language models through an API.
Cerebras Inference is accessed via a developer API and playground, and through partners including AWS Marketplace, OpenRouter, Hugging Face and Vercel. The company positions it around low-latency, high-throughput token generation versus GPU-based serving. It is aimed at developers building real-time applications and at enterprises.
The pricing page lists a developer tier with pay-as-you-go credits and a one-time $5 promotional credit that expires after 30 days. Some tiers are for development and evaluation only and not for production, and other options are available by agreement. Performance and model availability vary by model and configuration.
