Cerebras Systems Launches “Cerebras for Nations” -- A Global Initiative to Accelerate and Scale Sovereign AI

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cerebras Systems, makers of the fastest AI infrastructure, today announced the launch of “Cerebras for Nations,” a global program to help world governments build, accelerate, and scale their sovereign AI initiatives.

Under the Cerebras for Nations initiative, Cerebras will engage with international partner governments and their private sector datacenter, cloud, and AI ecosystems to advance three key pillars of sovereign AI:

1) Co-design and build world-class AI supercomputers: Cerebras’ AI supercomputers – powered by Cerebras’ revolutionary third generation Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE-3) chips and WSE-3 equipped CS-3 systems – deliver the industry’s fastest generative AI inference and AI model training. These systems enable GPU-impossible inference speeds for applications like voice, reasoning, agentic workflows; they also enable secure, domain- and language-specific state-of-the-art AI model training in a fraction of the time required by traditional GPU clusters.

Cerebras for Nations will work with public and private sector facility and end user partners to deploy sovereign systems on premises in countries or make those infrastructure resources available by secure cloud.

2) Co-develop state-of-the-art AI models: Cerebras for Nations provides dedicated teams of Cerebras’ world-class AI research staff to partner with local government and industry project teams to quickly develop new state-of-the-art models for science, industry, society, then optimize and deploy those models for production inference. This partnership approach enables teams to build and deploy better models faster with complete infrastructure and data security and allows full trained model ownership to remain with the host institution.

Cerebras and its partners, for example, have rapidly built and deployed dozens of new language- and domain-specific models that meet or beat state-of-the-art accuracy metrics on target problems. Examples include Jais (Arabic-English-code), Nanda (Hindi), SHERKALA (Kazakh), FLOR (multilingual Spanish-Catalan-English), and Med42 (clinical healthcare).

3) Invest locally to support education, workforce, and AI policy Initiatives: Cerebras for Nations enables partner countries to reach their national objectives of digital and economic transformation. Physical infrastructure is a big part of this – serving as a center of gravity and catalyst for industry and community and skill development – but it is not sufficient on its own. Cerebras partners with host nations, investing in local resources, supporting academic and public outreach, assisting with collaboration – training – and driving other workforce development projects.

“We are thrilled to announce the launch of Cerebras for Nations, expanding access to AI compute and adding partnerships to accelerate AI for science and society around the world,” said Andy Hock, Chief Strategy Officer, Cerebras. “This initiative emerges from the extraordinary work we’ve done for years with the U.S. government, in the UK, and with our strategic partners G42 in the UAE. We look forward to expanding those partnerships and adding many more.”

"Today’s announcement puts the UK at the heart of Cerebras’ global plans, a clear vote of confidence in our ability to harness AI to create jobs, transform the economy, and modernise public services,” said Kanishka Narayan, AI Minister of the UK. "It was great to meet Cerebras in San Francisco in October. I know firsthand how they are pushing the boundaries of AI. It is a powerhouse for future waves of innovation, backing the very people and communities who are helping drive their delivery.”

Cerebras is proud to be a U.S. company, born and built in the United States, as well as a partner to our allied international community. As such, Cerebras for Nations simultaneously promotes both U.S. technology trade (see e.g. the recent US-UK Tech Prosperity Deal) and U.S. industry national interests, as well as expanded international access to accelerate sovereign initiatives.

Cerebras for Nations is active and available now to international partners. We plan to continue and grow in the US, UK, and UAE, and expand to support additional engagements around the globe including India, Europe, Middle East, Asia, North and South America.
