Artificial Intelligence
- Cerebras introduces CS-4, a rack-scale AI system promising up to 30× faster inference and 10× more throughput per watt than CS-3; its modular Nexus architecture combines three WSE-3 Turbo processors with low-latency wafer-to-wafer links and native disaggregated inference for hyperscale deployment.
- Stripe agrees to acquire OpenRouter to turn model routing into AI-era economic infrastructure; the acquisition would combine Stripe’s token-cost and billing products with OpenRouter’s gateway for dynamically routing requests across 400+ models and 80+ providers.
