    Cerebras Secures 750MW OpenAI Compute Deal Through 2028 for GPT-5.6 Sol

    Question

    Cerebras Secures 750MW OpenAI Compute Deal Through 2028 for GPT-5.6 Sol

    Direct answer

    OpenAI signed a multi-year compute agreement with chipmaker Cerebras Systems to deploy 750 megawatts of specialized capacity through 2028. Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine architecture is currently utilized to operate the high-speed inference layer for GPT-5.6 Sol. The contract provides revenue visibility for Cerebras, which forecasts 2026 core revenue of $880 million to $890 million, establishing commercial validation for non-GPU custom silicon in frontier inference clusters.
