What Is Cerebras? The Chip Company That’s Also a Free AI API Cerebras Systems is best known for building the Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE) - a chip the size of a dinner plate with over 4 trillion transistors, purpose-built for AI. What most developers don’t realize is that Cerebras also offers a free cloud inference API that consistently outpaces Groq on smaller models and rivals it on 70B-class models. If you’ve only heard of Groq as the “fast free AI API,” it’s time to put Cerebras on your radar. No credit card required, OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and benchmarks that speak for themselves.
