Currently Cerebras, although faster, is more expensive than the traditional alternatives. Cursor's use case doesn't benefit from instant, users are happy to wait the few seconds (and watching the magic may even be beneficial)
- niux 1y agoHow is it more expensive?
- recursivecaveat 1y agoFancy hardware with bespoke production process, smaller economies of scale, utilization probably not that great since they are user-speed positioning and purportedly under-invested in their compiler, which has a hard job compiling for such an arch anyways. Ignoring for the moment the cost for their bespoke software stack, which they can probably amortize away eventually.
- totaa 1y agoaccording to OpenRouter, Cerebras charges $0.65/$0.85 for 1m input/output tokens for Llama 4 Scout. Google charges $0.25/$0.70; lambda.ai charges $0.08/$0.30 for the same model.
