Cerebras Systems Files for IPO After Past Delay
Cerebras Systems has submitted paperwork to list its shares on the stock market. CEO Andrew Feldman calls the company's products the fastest AI hardware available for training models and running inferences.
The firm first tried to go public in 2024. That effort stalled because of a U.S. government examination of funding from G42, based in Abu Dhabi. Cerebras ended up pulling the filing.
Funding History and Valuation
Last year, Cerebras collected $1.1 billion in its Series G round. Then in February, it secured another $1 billion for Series H. That put the company's value at $23 billion, reports the Wall Street Journal.
Cerebras started in 2015. Founders including Andrew Feldman aimed to challenge limits in AI computing. They created the Wafer-Scale Engine, a chip as big as a dinner plate. This design packs more processing power than standard GPUs from rivals like Nvidia. The company targets big AI tasks that need huge amounts of compute.
Key Partnerships Announced
Lately, Cerebras signed a pact with Amazon Web Services. AWS plans to deploy Cerebras chips inside its data centers. Separately, Cerebras struck a deal with OpenAI. Sources say that contract exceeds $10 billion in value.
Feldman spoke to the Wall Street Journal recently. He said, "Obviously, [Nvidia] didn't want to lose the fast inference business at OpenAI, and we took that from them."

2025 Financial Results
The IPO documents show Cerebras earned $510 million in revenue during 2025. Net income stood at $237.8 million. Without some one-time costs, though, it posted a non-GAAP net loss of $75.7 million.
These numbers reflect scaling operations amid rising AI needs. Cerebras has shipped systems to research labs, cloud providers, and enterprises. Revenue jumped as deployments increased.
Andrew Feldman brings experience from prior tech ventures. Before Cerebras, he led sales at a storage company. His team includes experts from chip giants.
Upcoming IPO Timeline
Cerebras did not reveal the amount it seeks to raise through the IPO. A company representative noted the offering targets mid-May.
This move comes as AI hardware firms draw investor attention. Cerebras joins others eyeing public markets after private funding peaks.
The filing provides a window into Cerebras' progress. It highlights revenue growth and major client wins. Investors will watch how the company competes long-term.
