HOW WE DEPLOY TRILLION-PARAMETER FRONTIER MODELS ON CEREBRAS

A single Cerebras WSE-3T wafer has 44 GB of on-chip memory. Trillion-parameter frontier models need terabytes of memory for their weights alone. This post explains how the company splits a large frontier model across multiple WSE-3T wafers. It covers how models are filled into on-chip memory, how models are mapped across multiple chips, and how Cerebras handles a high number of concurrent requests.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MISSING GEMINI 3.5 PRO MODEL THAT NEVER SHIPPED?

Google had both Flash and Pro versions of the 3.5 series. However, there were gaps in the model's agentic capabilities, particularly around coding. The team felt the fastest way to climb that hill was to use Flash, as the smaller model allowed for more iterative loops. By the time the team had improved Flash's abilities, Argon pre-training was done.
