computer chip

Innovators don’t see limitations – they see challenges. And that’s exactly what happened when Andrew Feldman and his team at Cerebras Systems were told that it was impossible to build a computer chip that could deliver the same performance as hundreds of graphics processing units. They tackled that challenge head-on, and have created the CS-2, the fastest AI computer in existence. This mega-sized chip is being used to tackle the world’s most pressing problems. None of this would have been possible without a bit of audacity and what Andrew calls “fearless engineering”. Dive into the thought process of a status-quo challenger on this episode of IT Visionaries. 

Tune in to learn: 

• What is Cerebras doing that others can’t? (0:23)
• What is the difference between a regular computer and an “AI” computer? (2:34)
• How does a bigger chip make a difference? (6:55)
• How do our work habits affect tech? (8:48)
• What is the mindset of someone who tackles unsolvable problems? (13:34)
• How is AI shifting the way we approach healthcare? (14:30)
• How is creating new hardware similar to raising a baby? (21:05)
• Why does a faster computer change everything? (23:21)
• Will Cerebras ever try to go even faster? (27:43)
