Enabling Generative AI with multi-Million Core AI Optimized Clusters

Andrew Feldman, Co-founder and CEO of AI Compute Pioneer Cerebras Systems, will share how their innovations in Wafer Scale Technology enable multi-million core AI compute clusters to work on generative AI problems. Mr. Feldman will show how these clusters eliminate the traditional challenges of distributed compute and how they simply and easily achieve near perfect linear scaling for AI work.  He will also share recent findings showing Cerebra’s techniques for training to state of the art accuracy with few FLOPS and for less power using unstructured sparsity. Finally, case studies will be presented showing clusters of Cerebras CS-2s producing pioneering results in generative AI across industries from Energy to Life Sciences to National Security.

Andrew is co-founder and CEO of Cerebras Systems. He is an entrepreneur dedicated to pushing boundaries in the compute space. Prior to Cerebras, he co-founded and was CEO of SeaMicro, a pioneer of energy-efficient, high-bandwidth microservers. SeaMicro was acquired by AMD in 2012 for $357M. Before SeaMicro, Andrew was the Vice President of Product Management, Marketing and BD at Force10 Networks which was later sold to Dell Computing for $800M. Prior to Force10 Networks, Andrew was the Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Development at RiverStone Networks from the company’s inception through IPO in 2001. Andrew holds a BA and an MBA from Stanford University.
