Cerebras becomes the world’s fastest host for DeepSeek R1, outpacing Nvidia GPUs by 57x


Cerebras Systems launches DeepSeek's R1-70B AI model on its wafer-scale processor, delivering 57x faster speeds than GPU solutions and challenging Nvidia's AI chip dominance with U.S.-based inference processing.

Cerebras Systems announced today it will host DeepSeek’s breakthrough R1 artificial intelligence model on U.S. servers, promising speeds up to 57 times faster than GPU-based solutions while keeping sensitive data within American borders. Cerebras achieves its speed advantage through a novel chip architecture that keeps entire AI models on a single wafer-sized processor, eliminating the memory bottlenecks that plague GPU-based systems. DeepSeek, founded by former hedge fund executive Liang Wenfeng, shocked the industry by achieving sophisticated AI reasoning capabilities reportedly at just 1% of the cost of U.S. competitors.
