OpenAI signs deal, worth $10B, for compute from Cerebras

Good news! Chip competition is good, more chip competition is better!

"... OpenAI announced Wednesday [14/1/2026] that it had reached a multi-year agreement with AI chipmaker Cerebras. The chipmaker will deliver 750 megawatts of compute to the AI giant starting this year and continuing through the year 2028, Cerebras said. ..."

"OpenAI and Cerebras have signed a multi-year agreement to deploy 750 megawatts of Cerebras wafer-scale systems to serve OpenAI customers. This deployment will roll out in multiple stages beginning in 2026, making it the largest high-speed AI inference deployment in the world. ..."

"Cerebras builds purpose-built AI systems to accelerate long outputs from AI models. Its unique speed comes from putting massive compute, memory, and bandwidth together on a single giant chip and eliminating the bottlenecks that slow inference on conventional hardware. ..."
