Andrew Feldman

Co-Founder & CEO, Cerebras Systems

Search every verified Andrew Feldman interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Andrew Feldman, co-founder and CEO of Cerebras Systems, has made several public appearances in recent months to discuss the company's progress and the broader AI landscape. He cited a partnership with OpenAI, the signing of AWS as a customer, and the company's public offering, which he described as the largest semiconductor IPO in history, raising over $6 billion. Feldman also discussed the company's fourth-generation product, the CS4, and emphasized the growing importance of inference speed, arguing that as AI becomes more useful, users will demand faster results. Feldman has also commented on industry-wide constraints, stating that demand will outstrip supply in data centers, chips, and memory for the next two to three years. He noted that data center availability is currently a limiting factor for the industry, and suggested that fab capacity may become the next bottleneck in three years. In discussions about competition, Feldman described himself as a "professional David" against larger rivals and offered his view that Nvidia's success is rooted in its "grit and intensity" rather than its software or chip architecture.

  • Andrew Feldman on Building Cerebras and the Future of Chips | Ep. 57

    Andrew Feldman is the co-founder and CEO of Cerebras Systems, the AI chip company he founded in 2016 around a single radical insight: that winning in compute requires not incremental improvement but a fundamentally different architecture. Cerebras is the creator of the world's largest chip, the Wafer Scale Engine, and counts the US government, sovereign cloud providers, and OpenAI among its customers. Alongside Eric Vishria from Benchmark, we discussed why Andrew believes that if you are going to attack Goliath, being 10% or even twice as good is not an available strategy and you have to aim…

Notable quotes

“We need more data centers, but we also need to be more efficient with the data centers we build. And I think where does power go? Power first is delivered to the door of the data center and some of it's lost in moving to the rack. There are opportunities to be more efficient there. Once you're at the rack, there's opportunities to be more efficient in the switching and in the communication. Then once you get into the”

“I think the demand for AI is growing at an extraordinary rate and you see that in the continued growth of the largest players and you see that in the sort of mind-boggling growth of smaller players, new players like Instinct or any number of these others who came from nothing to extraordinary numbers. Now, when more people use AI and they use it for longer, it means they're using more compute. And when you use more c”

“I don't think there's any doubt we're building the foundation for a fundamentally different economy. I think there will be bumps along the way. I think if you take a 10 or 15-year view of Pets.com, it turns out that pet food online is a really good business. Chewy. And a huge portion of what Amazon does and a large portion of the total pet food business is now sold online. I think there will be bumps along the way, r”

“I think right now all of us are constrained by data center availability. The entire industry, I think we're trying to move at this enormous speed, sort of the speed of software, and data centers move like real estate, and that's holding us all back. I'm not evading, I'm ducking and covering. I think in three years it will be fab capacity.”

“Here's our road map for the next several years. That's it. Any questions? Right. We are going to get four times faster. We're going to get 20x more throughput. All right. This is what we're going to be doing. Our speed will double every year and in the second half of next year we'll be at 20x the throughput we are today. Now to tell you a little bit about how this is going to work, you're going to hear from a collect”

“We had an extraordinary run, so there is a bit of pull back. So there are a number of factors unrelated to what we printed, but we printed a quarter in which we beat the metrics and raised guidance for the end of the year and said we would more than triple next year. So we said RPO and backlog and adding data centers and increasing manufacturing to keep up the rate in which we want to buy. So I think we are pleased w”
