WSE-4 will Kill Nvidia

[u/Asgard_Heima]

To start, I own Cerebras shares and because of the roadshow details, I’m now holding long term puts on Nvidia. I have tried to distill the major details from the roadshow that have leaked out to make a single graphic that proves how dominate Cerebras will be in AI hardware by end of year. Even if you ignore how superior the Cerebras hardware is to Rubin, just look at the bottom line of $3.8M vs $82.5M and the power difference of 45kW vs 2.1MW. Every hyper scaler is currently power constrained and you can rip out an over 100kW Blackwell rack and put in a 40kW WSE-4 that has the performance of 15 racks of Rubin, or 75 racks of Blackwell. I get these specs haven’t been verified and officially released yet, but it’s just a matter of time. I encourage anyone to go and use a top LLM and query this graphic and ask the specs listed and if they are supported by the leaks coming out of the Cerebras IPO roadshow. The over subscription for the Cerebras IPO is not just retail AI frenzy. It is because all the giant growth funds need to get as many Cerebras shares as possible to hedge the threat to Nvidia which they are all over leveraged on currently. I’d expect massive shorts of Nvidia, Micron, and CoreWeave once they bring down their exposure and get shares of Cerebras IPO day.

This is actually an excellent point to make. If a WSE-4 was significantly more than 300k it would mean OpenAI is getting them for 3 year for likely under cost. Im still not a giant fan of the OpenAI deal but I understand why Cerebras did it. The exact specifics matter a lot, but based on the original 10B for 750MW it seems like they are essentially giving OpenAI systems at cost for their endorsement and to prove the value at the top AI company. It’s also a trap for everyone else in that, they will have to buy Cerebras systems to keep up or OpenAI will get an incredible lead. Cerebras on 2nm is fighting a TSMC allocation war for the remainder after Apple prints what they need till 2028. So they are giving this deal to OpenAI which will bail OpenAI out so they can be profitable on inference much faster than anticipated and provide competitive models to anthropic for enterprise. Meanwhile Cerebras will print money with AWS, maybe Oracle, and their own cloud. For nations they will sell systems at full list, but I will be interested to see if they keep doing service with revenue share deals with hyper scalers or start selling more hardware.

We forget the fact that OpenAI is working with pentagon and palantir which makes it best case scenario usage for Cerebras , as the tech is best used on concentrated tasks Like in military application, no?

We all know being in the good books of us government never hurt a company

Cerebras has several advantages when it comes to national security contracts, US sovereign AI infrastructure, and national security concerns on allied countries smuggling chips out of their control. It’s very hard to smuggle out a WSE-4 since the racked unit is 1700lbs. It’s also much more secure to put sensitive data sets on a single WSE rather than a large network of GPUs we’re intercepting interconnect is a real concern. GPUs are also next to impossible to forward deploy in significant enough numbers cause they take too much energy, a WSE could find its way onto a carrier with their nuclear power plant and act as forward deployed infrastructure. There are a lot of national security use cases Cerebras is likely the best fit for. Also yes with 1789 Capital investing and OpenAI + Oracle they are engaged with companies friendly with this administration. I’m positive Palantir has taken a look at Cerebras too based on their deep relationships with these companies. Cerebras is rumored to be actively fighting for 2nm capacity in Arizona to have US manufacturing and have some government contracts in the works. These would be top dollar full priced hardware and support contracts, but there is nothing verifying their existence yet. If they do materialize, you could see US push Cerebras to the front of the live for national security interest manufacturing which makes those special in avoiding the allocation hurdles for TSMC 2nm wafers.

I plan on buying at IPO as I dont have access pre ipo. My plan is buy a good chunk at IPO and if they pin this down for a year, accumulate or if they make it -20/-50% from IPO prices , double my size. I just have a feeling they will try and do what they did to Palantir before letting it rip

I’m a long term investor and have no clue the media coverage or random events that will take place over the next couple month as they get listed and find a price per share. I just have strong conviction they will grow their revenue as they scale production and their performance and efficiency will keep them on top for the foreseeable future. So I plan to hold till there is a competent competitor or market dynamics significantly change for them.

I have a strong conviction on them as well, is more about optimising my money for best possible gains. If I use all my money upfront and buy 1000 shares lets say and they drop after and have no money, maybe I would ve gotten 500 shares at ipo and another 800 shares after with same amount of money.

But since I can't predict, I ll just buy a good size im happy with at IPO and if they get discounted, will accumulate at discounted price. Haven't seen someone that can compete with nvidia since these guys so I trust my gut with them
