Uh, the combined offering (smaller model + ~800 tps on cerebras) is nothing like the previous mini offerings, and you're hallucinating details about their process of creating it. Read more about how Cerebras hardware handles clustering. The limit is not 44 GB or 500GB. Each CS-3 has 1,200 TB of MemoryX, supporting up to ~24T parameter models. And up to 2,048 can be clustered.

Yeah, it's pretty clear you're loud mouthed and don't know anything about distilling ML models or anything Cerebras. Distilling ML models into smaller mini versions is basic stuff. How do you think Qwen 3 235b and Qwen 3 30b were made? Or GLM 4.5 355b vs GLM 4.5 Air 105b? Or Meta Llama 4 Maverick and Scout? And everyone knows that the reason Cerebras never served Deepseek R1 or Kimi K2 or any other model bigger than…

Yes. In order to serve 1k/s, they must be fitting the entire model on SRAM and not reaching out to off chip RAM. This means they’re likely chaining multiple wafer chips together to serve this model or they shrunk the model to fit one wafer chip. It’s uneconomical for many use cases but for highly valuable tasks, it could be worth it.

This is one area Nvidia chips have not been able to do, ultra fast, ultra high value tasks. Hence, the Grog acquisition.

> 46,255 mm² To be clear: that's the thousandths separator, not the Nordic decimal. It's the size of a cat, not the size of a thumbnail.

*thousands, not thousandths, right? The correct number is fourty six thousand, two hundred and fifty five square mm.

or about 0.23 furlongs

There have been discussions about this chip here in the past. Maybe not that particular one but previous versions of it. The whole server if I remember correctly eats some 20KWs of power.

A first-gen Oxide Computer rack puts out max 15 kW of power, and they manage to do that with air cooling. The liquid-cooled AI racks being used today for training and inference workloads almost certainly have far higher power output than that. (Bringing liquid cooling to the racks likely has to be one of the biggest challenges with this whole new HPC/AI datacenter infrastructure, so the fact that an aircooled rack ca…

Are you sure about that? HPC has had full rack liquid cooling for a long time now.

The primary challenge with the current generation is the unusual increase of power density in racks. This necessitates upgrades in capacity, notably getting 10-20 kWh of heat away from few Us is generally though but if done can increase density.

Seems like the industry is moving further towards having low-latency/high-speed models for direct interaction, and having slow, long thinking models for longer tasks / deeper thinking. Quick/Instant LLMs for human use (think UI). Slow, deep thinking LLMs for autonomous agents.

Like different parts of the brain. Frontal cortex, speech center (in the back), motorics etc.

Yea, it's pretty clear you're loudmouthed and an aggressively arrogant know-it-all (at least you think). You keep moving the goalposts too. First you're acting like they can't run models that don't fit in 44GB or 4x44GB. Then you say they can "only" run a larger model at 500 tps but that wouldn't be profitable.. Lol

Cerebras CURRENTLY serves GLM-4.7. I've used it through their API. Look up how big it is. 1,000-1,700 tps. https://www.cerebras.ai/blog/glm-4-7

Not interested in further conversation, so have a nice day! You can go ahead and get in the last word though.

The Cerebras partnership is the most interesting part of this announcement to me. 1000+ tok/s changes how you interact with a coding model. At that speed the bottleneck shifts from waiting for the model to keeping up with it yourself.

Curious how the capability tradeoff plays out in practice though. SWE-Bench Pro scores are noticeably lower than full 5.3-Codex. For quick edits and rapid prototyping that's probably fine, but I wonder where the line is where you'd rather wait 10x longer for a correct answer than get a wrong one instantly.

Also "the model was instrumental in creating itself" is doing a lot of heavy lifting as a sentence. Would love to see more details on what that actually looked like in practice beyond marketing copy.

The search for speed is vain. Often Claude Code Opus 4.6, on hard enough problems, can do the impression of acting fast without really making progresses because of lack of focus on what matters. Then you spin the much slower GPT 5.3-Codex and it fixes everything in 3 minutes of doing the right thing.

Codex 5.3 is hands down the best model for coding as of today

More like shifts from waiting for the model to https://xkcd.com/303/ .

Unless you use garbage languages, of course.
