The world's fastest AI inference, powered by the world's biggest chip
A single processor built from an entire silicon wafer with on-chip memory, designed to eliminate much of the interconnect overhead that constrains GPU clusters on large AI workloads.
A public inference endpoint serving open and frontier models with drop-in OpenAI API compatibility, so existing applications can switch with minimal code changes.
The current generation of Cerebras hardware, designed for hyperscale deployment and marketed as delivering up to 30x faster inference than GPU-based systems.
Inference runs in-region or on your own infrastructure, helping meet latency envelopes, data-residency obligations and compliance frameworks.
High-efficiency open-weight and hosted reasoning AI powered by DeepSeek-V4 and R1 at ultra-low token costs.
Leverages a sparse Mixture-of-Experts architecture (49B active parameters out of 1.6T on V4-Pro) to process up to 1 million tokens with minimal latency and memory overhead.
Pioneered by DeepSeek-R1 and integrated into V3.2 and V4 thinking modes, exposing step-by-step self-verification for complex math, logic, and code debugging.
Drops input token costs to $0.003/1M on Flash and $0.022/1M on V4-Pro for cache hits, with 50% lower rates during off-peak UTC hours.
Provides free access at chat.deepseek.com and on iOS/Android with document uploads, reasoning mode, and web search without paywalling core models.
