Serial entrepreneur who previously founded SeaMicro (acquired by AMD for $334 million).
Founding Story
Andrew Feldman co-founded Cerebras Systems in 2015. After selling his previous server company to AMD, he recognized that traditional CPUs and GPUs were fundamentally bottlenecked by data transfer speeds when training massive AI models. As CEO, he championed the audacious, highly contrarian idea of building a 'Wafer-Scale Engine' (WSE)—a single, massive computer chip the size of an entire silicon wafer—to completely eliminate communication bottlenecks between processors. (Exact birth year remains publicly undisclosed).
