hot_img Cerebras releases the fourth generation AI inference system CS-4: performance doubled, power consumption doubled, more flexible deployment

Cerebras released its fourth-generation AI inference system CS-4 this week, based on the same 5nm WSE-3 wafer, achieving double the performance by doubling the clock frequency and power consumption. A single CS-4 cabinet accommodates 3 wafers (CS-3 has 2), featuring a modular "backpack" design that simplifies manufacturing and deployment, with a TDP of approximately 125 to 135kW. The CS-4 can provide an inference speed of nearly 4000 tokens/second/user, about twice that of the CS-3, and supports decomposed inference with heterogeneous systems such as AMD and AWS Trainium.Cerebras claims that the CS-4 offers about 2000 times the on-chip memory bandwidth of NVIDIA's Rubin (43PB/s), but the 44GB SRAM capacity remains unchanged, and long-context inference still requires multi-wafer stacking. For example, with the DeepSeek V4 Pro (1.6T parameters), approximately 20 systems are needed for a 1M context window, and about 40 systems are required for 256 concurrent users, corresponding to a CAPEX exceeding 20 million USD. Cerebras is collaborating with clients such as OpenAI and plans to achieve approximately double performance improvements each year, aiming for a 20-fold throughput increase by 2027. The "backpack" cabinet design of the CS-4 will continue into the next-generation "Nexus" platform.
