At TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, Cerebras Systems CEO and co-founder Andrew Feldman will explore the growing demand for compute, energy, and infrastructure, how Cerebras is approaching those constraints differently, and what comes next if today’s AI hardware reaches its limits.
AI models are becoming more capable, but each advancement requires more computing power, energy, and infrastructure. Cerebras Systems has spent the past decade developing an alternative to conventional chip architectures by building processors on entire silicon wafers rather than cutting them into individual chips, an approach designed specifically for demanding AI workloads. The company is now scaling its computing and manufacturing capacity as AI demand accelerates, including agreements to deploy systems and plans to expand data center capacity globally. At TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, Cerebras CEO Andrew Feldman will discuss whether AI can continue scaling given these infrastructure constraints and what happens if current hardware reaches its limits.

Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, data center projects in rural areas could be eligible for major tax benefits starting next year. Some hyperscalers do not seem eager to take the free cash.

The price of anything with memory is skyrocketing thanks to AI. Aging streaming devices are no exception.
NVIDIA announced a new 64GB configuration of DGX Spark — from Acer, ASUS, Dell, Gigabyte, HP and MSI — its GB10-powered desktop AI system. It gives developers a way to start with one system for local models and agents, then cluster two 64GB units for 128GB of memory across the cluster and more compute when workloads grow. The direct message is: Run open models and always-on agents on your own desk, then cluster DGX Spark system as the work grows – instead of on a metered API. The ti
