Cerebras Systems, an AI hardware startup that has been steadily challenging Nvidia’s dominance in the artificial intelligence market, announced Tuesday a significant expansion of its data center footprint and two major enterprise partnerships that position the company to become the leading provider of high-speed AI inference services.The company will add six new AI data centers across North America and Europe, increasing its inference capacity twentyfold to over 40 million tokens per second. The expansion includes facilities in Dallas, Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, Montreal, New York and France, with 85% of the total capacity located in the United States.“This year, our goal is to truly satisfy all the demand and all the new demand we expect will come online as a result of new models like Llama 4 and new DeepSeek models,” said James Wang, director of product marketing at Cerebras, in an interview with VentureBeat. “This is our huge growth initiative this year to satisfy [the] almost unlimited demand we’re seeing across the board for inference tokens.”The data center expansion represents the company’s ambitious bet that the market for high-speed AI inference — the process where trained AI models generate outputs for real-world applications — will grow dramatically as companies seek faster alternatives to GPU-based solutions from Nvidia.Cerebras plans to expand capacity from 2 million to over 40 million tokens per second by Q4 2025 across eight data centers in North America and Europe.
