Cerebras' first buyable price, near a $100 billion market cap after its IPO price was raised 50% and the stock doubled at open, buys an uncertain call option on an architecture with hard trade-offs. Its wafer-scale chip gives each core only 48 KB of SRAM, 44 GB in total versus 13.5 TB of HBM3E in Nvidia's GB200 NVL72 rack, and its compiler complexity means it can never match Nvidia's software optimization. Severe memory constraints and limited I/O bandwidth are its key limits. x.com x.com
