Cerebras Systems, a leading AI chipmaker backed by UAE tech giant G42, has teamed up with France’s Mistral to set a new AI speed record. Mistral, an emerging player in open-source AI, aims to compete with Meta, China’s DeepSeek, and OpenAI. On Thursday, the company launched Le Chat, an AI assistant capable of responding at an unprecedented 1,000 words per second.
Cerebras provides the computing power behind Le Chat, positioning Mistral as the world’s fastest AI assistant. The achievement underscores the growing importance of inference speed as AI companies strive to enhance user experience. According to Cerebras CEO Andrew Feldman, delivering better answers requires more computational power during inference.
This milestone marks Cerebras’ first major success with a top-tier AI model developer, reinforcing its position as a key challenger to Nvidia in AI model training and deployment. Meanwhile, Cerebras' planned IPO remains under U.S. government review due to G42’s involvement.
As the AI race intensifies, speed and efficiency are becoming critical factors in defining industry leaders.
