If the idiots at AMZN have any brains left, they would acquire this and make it the center of their inference offerings. But considering how lackluster their performance and strategy as a company has been off late, I doubt that.

Disappointed quite a bit with this fund raise. They were expected to IPO this year and give us poor retail investors a chance at investing in them.

Amazon has their own chips for inference and training: Trainium1/2.

Nothing (may be except groq ?) comes even close to Cerebras in inference speed. I seriously don't get why these guys aren't more popular. The difference in using them as a inference provider vs anything else for any use case is like night and day. I hope more inference providers focus on speed. And this is where AMZN will benefit a lot since their entire cloud model is to have something people would anyway want and mark it up by 3x. God forbid if AVGO acquires this.

It would be hard to beat designing their own in-house offering that is 50% as good, at 20% the cost.

That's the problem.

Unless the majority of the value is on the other end of the curve, it's a tough sell.
