GoKawiilCerebras CEO Andrew Feldman to discuss AI compute limits at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026
Cerebras Systems co-founder and CEO Andrew Feldman is scheduled to appear at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 for a session titled 'Can AI Keep Scaling?', addressing rising demand for compute, energy and infrastructure. Cerebras builds wafer-scale AI chips as an alternative to conventional chip architectures, raised $5.5 billion in its May IPO, signed a multiyear deal with OpenAI for 750 megawatts of systems through 2026-2028, and launched its CS-4 hardware in August.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Feldman's talk positions Cerebras as a company betting that alternative chip architectures, rather than incremental improvements to existing designs, could address looming compute and energy bottlenecks in AI development. The scale of the OpenAI deal and the IPO suggests investors and major AI labs see wafer-scale computing as a credible contender, though whether it resolves industry-wide scaling constraints remains an open question the session aims to explore.
