This is seriously impressive performance. I think there's a high probability Nvidia attempts to acquire Cerebras.

They're considering an IPO. I'd say an acquisition is unlikely. Even then, they'd be worth more to Facebook or MS.

No, they would make a capital infusion on paper and then make Cerebras buy more hw from that money on paper, thus showing huge revenues on Nvidia books.

Makes sense… or whatever

They're making custom chips right? Why would Cerebras buy hardware from Nvidia?
