Cerebras has ridiculously large LLM ASICs that can hit crazy speeds. You can try it with llama 8B and 70B:

It's pretty fast, but my understanding is that it is still too expensive even accounting for the speed-up.

Is Cerebras an integrated circuit or more an integrated wafer? :-)

And yeah their cost is ridiculous, on the order for high 6 to low 7 figures per wafer. The rack alone looks several times more expensive than the 8x NVIDIA pods [1]
