I thought cerebras had moved to a cloud model so that they could more easily manage/patch their systems?
both. The cloud model is also for renting models across several Cerebras Wafer Scale Integrations.
Oh, they will deploy the racks at customers sites?
I don't know what their policy is now, but they talk about it in the Hot Chips 2024 presentation.
I myself just have proof of a single customer having their own private Cerebras rack. There are rumors about several more customers with on-prem Cerebras.
