GPT-OSS 120B Runs at 3000 tokens/sec on Cerebras
- freak42 11mo agoI absolutely hate it, when a website says "try this" and after you went through the trouble of weiting something comes up with a sign up link first. Makes me leave instantly to never come back.
- schappim 11mo agoI was doing a demo to my colleagues and had the above.
- Alifatisk 11mo agoSame with groq.com, there is a "try this", and after you enter the prompt, it asks you to sign in. Closed the page.
- traceroute66 11mo agoHeadline at the top of the Cerebras page linked to by the OP "Cerebras Raises $1.1B Series G at $8.1B Valuation". If you're going after the AI money gravy train then you need to wave the "we have $n registered users" carrot on your PPT slides for the investors because registered user == monetization opportunity. I'm not defending it. I hate being forced to register for shit when I just want to try it or use the free tier. But it is what it is.
- Saline9515 11mo agoWell if they give it out for free (aka they pay for it), asking you to register is a reasonable ask. It's not a public service funded by taxpayers.
- freak42 11mo agoYes they can ask, but do it at the beginning not the end of the process, this is a dark pattern and fucking annoying.
- magackame 11mo agoAnyone remember those online psychological tests where you spend an hour on one and in the end you need to pay up to get the result?)))
- traceroute66 11mo ago> do it at the beginning not the end Exactly this. If you present me with a form and a submit button then I expect the input to go through and a result to be presented. If you don't want to present me with results before login, then put the form behind the wall too. Simple.
- traceroute66 11mo ago> Well if they give it out for free (aka they pay for it), asking you to register is a reasonable ask They have other options... rate limiting, serving (more) quantized to non-registered etc. etc.
- Saline9515 11mo agoThose options are still not free. And giving a degraded version of your product to free users is a bad way to acquire clients.
- cyanydeez 10mo agoRight, being proud of your money making is not something I consider a consumer focused product unless that customer is other moneyseeking orga, which like cancer, often ends up in a bubble.
- anonym29 11mo agoThis is like declaring that a Ferrari dealership offering you a free test drive in a million dollar art exhibit on wheels is evil for asking for your phone number before handing you the keys. If this was some beat-to-hell, high-mileage used economy car, sure, that would be a pain in the ass, and not worth it. But it's a mistake to place Cerebras into that mental bucket. You don't even need to use real information to create an account. Just grab a temp-mail disposable address and sign up as fred flintstone or mickey mouse. If you're a heavy LLM inference user (i.e. if you've ever paid for a $200/mo sub from any of the big AI labs), I can damn near guarantee you will not regret trying out Cerebras.
- moralestapia 11mo agoOff topic but related. A week ago I went to a launch party for a product that's supposed to "revolutionize design" (a web app w/ an OAI prompt). No demo, only like two pictures of the actual product. Founder spent like half an hour giving a speech about the future, etc... "All of you here will get access to it in a couple weeks." Couple weeks go by ... I "get access". It's a .dmg, 1) What, I open it, it's not even an app, it's an installer ..., I install it, the app opens up and it's a giant red button that takes you to a website to create an account ... These guys are completely lost.
- petesergeant 11mo agoIt’s an absolute beast. I run it via OpenRouter, where I have Groq and Cerebras as the providers. Cheap enough as to be almost free, strong performance, and lightning fast.
- jsheard 11mo agoCheap enough for now, but of all the companies selling inference at a loss, Cerebras and Groq are probably losing the most per token. Their hardware is ungodly expensive and its reliance on huge amounts of SRAM bottlenecks how much cheaper it can get, since SRAM density is improving at a snails pace at this point.
- petesergeant 11mo agoNot doubting you but anything to back that up? Happy enough to burn VC money until someone shows up who can run it without losing money, either way.
- rajman187 11mo agoThey’ve filed a S1 [1] last year when attempting to go public. It showed something like a $60M+ loss for the first 6 months of 2024. The IPO didn’t happen because the CEO’s past included some financial missteps and the banks didn’t want to deal with this. At the time the majority of their revenue came from a single source in Abu Dhabi, as well [1] https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2021728/000162828024041596/cerebras-sx1.htm https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2021728/000162828024...
- petesergeant 10mo ago> the majority of their revenue came from a single source in Abu Dhabi, as well I live in UAE, whose continuing enthusiasm in AI investment stretches well beyond short-term profit, so having AD on-board seems like a plus not a minus. I'm sure there are specific exceptions, but generally Emirati money has seemed like smart money.

- KronisLV 11mo agoThe Cerebras GML-4.6 post might also be of (some?/more?) interest to the people here, since it's more useful for programming: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45852751 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45852751 I don't think that this is a dupe or anything and 3000 t/s is really cool, the other post just has more discussion of Cerebras and people's experiences with using GLM 4.6 for software development.
- sunpazed 11mo agoThis is really impressive. At these speeds, it’s possible to run agents with multi-tool turns within seconds. Consider it a feature rich, “non-deterministic API” for your platform or business.

- drewbitt 10mo agoIt's a decent general model too - I have it plugged up in llm and raycast since August at great speeds. I wish Cerebras would do MiniMax M2 which should be an upgrade and replacement if it was just faster. It would never be as fast as gpt-oss-120 though
- iFire 10mo agoDoes anyone know how much one system costs?
