Watch our exclusive interview with Andrew Feldman, Founder and CEO of Cerebras.

The #chip company Cerebras just raised $1.1B at an $8.1B valuation.

We started by exploring a bold idea: #DataCenters in #space. Is it feasible? Probably not anytime soon. But every #contrarian idea needs a beginning, and such the story of Cerebras. We discussed why the team chose not to redesign the #GPU, but to build an entirely #new chip.

From the early days of burning $8M a month for 18 months, to one #pivotal Tuesday, when everything finally started to work, on a sunny day in #LosAltos, California

The result: Wafer-Scale Engine (#WSE) - #LargestChip in the World - 46,225mm2.

With newly $1.1B #funding round we explored the areas Cerebras plans to push forward next: faster #computation, more efficient #storage, and higher-speed data movement of the chip.

Lastly, we discussed what #product assumptions Andrew had to unlearn to take Cerebras to the next level - and the #advice he would give to #entrepreneurs today.
