TL;DR

CS-3 is a Cerebras AI system with 1 Cerebras WSE-3 and 1 Host server.

Level 1

Wafer-scale AI compute appliance. A single CS-3 contains one WSE-3 chip (the largest chip ever made, using an entire 300mm wafer). 44 GB of on-chip SRAM eliminates the HBM bottleneck entirely. No memory wall. Paired with MemoryX and SwarmX for disaggregated memory and networking. Fastest inference per chip in the world.

Level 2

The dataset lists 125 PFLOPS at BF16. Interconnect: SwarmX. Power: 23 kW, liquid cooled.

Level 3

Known deployments: Cerebras Inference and Mayo Clinic. Figures come from spec sheets and disclosures in the curated systems dataset, dated on the systems page.
