Cerebras Systems designs wafer-scale processors — single chips the size of an entire silicon wafer — that compete with GPU clusters for AI training and inference workloads. The company filed publicly for an IPO in 2024 (proposed ticker CBRS), cleared a CFIUS review of its G42 relationship in 2025, then withdrew the filing after raising a $1.1B Series G at a reported $8.1B valuation, keeping a return to the listing track in play.
