It would be even better if a version available to individual users were released soon.

I’ll get that 250kW home power service dropped in next week!

  For now you can rig an adapter to your nearest DC EV charging station, but make sure it's near a body of water for the cooling.

    Hot water for the whole neighbourhood!

They do offer API services to individual users... though with a set of models that makes it unlikely that you want to use it. They are promising Qwen 3.8 27B any day now though*. if you have the money as an "individual user" to purchase one of their racks... save your money and retire. * Actually they sent out an email claiming they already have it, but I don't seem to have access, they're promising to release it to the "shared tier" any day now.

  > save your money and retire. Now that this hypothetical person has retired, what are they gonna do all day? Just sit on the beach and drink Mai Tais? If that's what they wanna do, sure, but nerds gonna nerd, and if I had that kind of money to retire on, I'd totally buy some ridiculously expensive AI box for fun.

    Ah but if you have the kind of money where this is a reasonable retirement hobby purchase, you aren't bothered by representing yourself as a "enterprise" :P

  not only that, but I was so happy with their GLM 4.8 that they got rid of yesterday :(

    What do they do with old ones? Their hardware physically can't run other models right?

      The Cerebras hardware is not locked to specific models / model families. Taalas is the company that's etching models into their silicon, locking it to that model forever.

        That's pretty sweet. Thanks

needs an sla that says power will never ever ever go out or else you will have a useless shattered plate of silicon.
- gpm 2mo ago
  Huh, why would it shatter if the power goes out?
  - dnautics 2mo ago
    by my understanding: there is an extensive and complicated cooling system that permeates the wafer. some of the cores are completely turned off because they fail qc (see the tsmc logo) if all of their neighbors have been going at full bore the thermal differential can cause stress fractures if the cooling system suddenly fails.

I'd like to see a consumer version too, I don't need a whole rack of them. I probably can't even afford one gpu-sized one
