Cerebras Deploys Trillion-Parameter AI Models

Cerebras runs a 3-trillion-parameter model across 59 wafers at 2,000 tokens per second

Cerebras explains how it deploys trillion-parameter models on its wafer-scale chips. Using the open-source Kimi K3 model with roughly 3 trillion parameters, it splits the model across 59 WSE-3T wafers, each holding 44 GB of on-chip memory. Because each layer fits entirely on a wafer, only activations move between chips via RDMA over Ethernet. The pipeline stays full with different requests, and KV cache size on dense layers caps concurrency.

Only activations cross from one wafer to the next.
