Cerebras made a monster debut on Thursday that not only placed it among tech’s biggest-ever IPOs, but was the clearest signal yet of unstoppable demand for chips to power AI, as tech giants scramble to the costly, sold-out graphics processing units made by Nvidia. Cerebras closed its first day trading on Wall Street with a stunning market cap just below $100 billion, then traded lower on Friday, sinking 10%. Founded in Silicon Valley in 2016, Cerebras makes a different type of chip than the classic Nvidia GPU, and it's the size of a dinner plate. It’s a category of chips known as custom ASICs that are gaining traction because they excel at inference, which is crucial as agentic AI takes off. Custom ASICs are also made in-house by Google, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft, and Nvidia - thanks to its $20 billion purchase of Groq in December. Now, the Cerebras’ IPO paves the way for other ASIC start-ups such as SambaNova, Rebellions and D-Matrix. CNBC's Katie Tarasov explains everything you need to know about the company.
