OAKLAND, Calif: Silicon Valley startup Cerebras Systems, known in the industry for its dinner plate-sized chip made for artificial intelligence work, on Monday unveiled its AI supercomputer called Andromeda, which is now available for commercial and academic research.
Cerebras said Andromeda can perform 1 exaflop worth of AI computing - or at least one quintillion operations per second - based on a precision of 16 bit floating point format. “They're a bigger machine. We're not beating them. They cost $600 million to build. This is less than $35 million,” said Andrew Feldman, founder and CEO of Cerebras when asked about the Frontier supercomputer.
