AI Chip Firm Cerebras Raises $1.1 Billion, Adds Trump-Linked 1789 Capital as Investor

Cerebras secured $1.1 billion in Series G funding, raising its valuation to $8.1 billion and delaying its IPO amid regulatory reviews and rising AI hardware demand.

  • On Tuesday, Cerebras Systems raised $1.1 billion in a Series G led by Fidelity Management & Research Co and Atreides Management, valuing the company at $8.1 billion.
  • The company filed for an IPO on September 30, 2024, but U.S. national security reviews by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States delayed it due to a $335 million investment from G42, an Abu Dhabi-based cloud computing and AI company.
  • Cerebras says its Wafer Scale Engine 3 delivers inference speeds over 20 times faster than Nvidia GPUs, production capacity grew eightfold in 18 months, and five new data centers opened in 2025.
  • The investment positions Cerebras to accelerate innovation and build more Condor Galaxy clusters, intensifying competition amid a $400 billion market projection by 2027.
  • The deal also involves 1789 Capital, where Donald Trump Jr. is a partner, while partnerships with G42 enabled the Jais Arabic model and supply-chain reliance on TSMC remains a challenge.
