OpenAI partners with Cerebras

OpenAI partners with Cerebras OpenAI is partnering with Cerebras to add 750MW of ultra low-latency AI compute to our platform. January 14, 2026 Cerebras builds purpose-built AI systems to accelerate long outputs from AI models. Its unique speed comes from putting massive compute, memory, and bandwidth together on a single giant chip and eliminating the bottlenecks that slow inference on conventional hardware. Integrating Cerebras into our mix of compute solutions is all about making our AI respond much faster. When you ask a hard question, generate code, create an image, or run an AI agent, there is a loop happening behind the scenes: you send a request, the model thinks, and it sends something back. When AI responds in real time, users do more with it, stay longer, and run higher-value workloads. We will integrate this low-latency capacity into our inference stack in phases, expanding across workloads. “OpenAI’s compute strategy is to build a resilient portfolio that matches the rig...
