Cerebras CEO to discuss AI scaling at Disrupt

Cerebras Systems CEO Andrew Feldman will speak at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, October 13-15 in San Francisco, on whether AI can keep scaling. Feldman co-founded Cerebras in 2015 to commercialize wafer-scale computing, an alternative to conventional chip architectures designed for demanding AI workloads. The company raised $5.5 billion in a May IPO and signed a multiyear deal with OpenAI to deploy 750 megawatts of Cerebras systems through 2028. Cerebras also reported over 600 megawatts of data center capacity live or under contract by end of 2027 and is expanding manufacturing capacity more than tenfold in 2026.
