Cerebras partners with G42 to build India's largest AI supercomputer

What they do

Cerebras builds giant chips using entire silicon wafers for high-speed AI training

India and UAE executed a partnership to deploy an 8-exaflop cluster in India

The project brings sovereign compute power to Indian startups and researchers onshore

UAE President gifted a Cerebras chip to PM Modi marking the Condor Galaxy India partnership.
The deal involves deploying 64 Cerebras CS-3 systems to build one of India's largest AI clusters.
The partnership signals growing importance of AI infrastructure in India-UAE cooperation.
The project aligns with domestic ambitions by bringing sovereign AI compute onshore.
It reduces dependence on foreign cloud infrastructure for startups and researchers.
PM Modi and UAE President announced the project during a visit in January 2026.
A term sheet was signed between G42 and C-DAC at the India AI Impact Summit.
G42 will handle installation, deployment, operations, and maintenance of the system.

The project addresses data sovereignty by hosting infrastructure and data within India.
It provides affordable access to frontier-scale computing power for local entities.
The capacity is almost 19X compared to India's two flagship AI supercomputers.
It offers greater control over data residency, security, and national control.

Cerebras builds a single massive processor called the Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE).
The company uses an entire silicon wafer instead of individual chips.
They solve integration challenges by adding spare cores to reroute around flaws.
Cerebras went from selling hardware boxes to building giant cloud supercomputers.
The technology claims up to 20X faster AI training and inference speeds.
It trains models with up to 24 trillion parameters without code splitting.
The WSE-3 features 44 GB of on-chip SRAM for rapid data movement.
The chip houses over 4 trillion transistors on a single piece of silicon.
It claims aggregate bandwidth of 214 petabits per second.
