Cerebras CEO Andrew Feldman To Discuss AI Scaling Limits Oct. 13-15
Feldman will address rising demands for computing power, electricity and data-center infrastructure at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 in San Francisco.
Cerebras Systems CEO and co-founder Andrew Feldman is scheduled to speak at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, held Oct. 13-15 in San Francisco, as artificial intelligence pushes demand for computing power and infrastructure.
The event is scheduled at Moscone West. Feldman co-founded Cerebras in 2015 and leads the company, which develops wafer-scale AI processors.
Cerebras has more than 600 megawatts of data-center capacity live or under contract for delivery by the end of 2027. Its manufacturing capacity is expected to increase more than tenfold during 2026.
The company’s CS-4 system uses three wafer-scale engines. It is up to twice as fast as CS-3 and provides up to 10 times more throughput per watt. The system was introduced Aug. 18.
OpenAI committed to purchase 750 megawatts of Cerebras inference-compute capacity, with deployments scheduled in stages through 2028. The agreement sets 250 megawatts for delivery by the end of 2026, another 250 megawatts by the end of 2027 and the final 250 megawatts by the end of 2028.
Cerebras generated $6.4 billion in gross proceeds from its May initial public offering before underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses.
Feldman has described speed as a direct productivity factor in artificial intelligence. “In AI, speed is productivity,” Feldman said.
He also said, “AI has moved from being a novelty to being useful and productive.”
Feldman’s scheduled appearance will focus on whether AI can continue scaling as hardware, electricity and data-center constraints become more significant. The event runs Oct. 13-15 at Moscone West in San Francisco.
