Why isn't everyone using Cerebras?

I work at a mid-sized startup dealing with latency issues in customer-facing flows that use LLMs. Using OSS-120B seems preferable to 5-mini or Anthropic models in many cases when we need speed, intelligence, and cost control. Is there some catch here beyond needing to acquire higher rate limits?

I love Cerebras. I also love that they've started to scale rate limits to useful levels (which is relatively new).

I still don't know how long they'll support our chosen model.

On Oct 22 I got an email saying that

```

- qwen-3-coder-480b will be available until Nov 5, 2025

- qwen-3-235b-a22b-thinking-2507 will be available until Nov 14, 2025

```

That's not a lot of notice!

I don't want to spend all my time benchmarking new models for features I already built. I don't want my users' experience to be disturbed every few months.
