Speaking at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, Cerebras co-founder and CEO Andrew Feldman said the arrival of AI appliances in people's homes is "not very far away," predicting personal assistants that run partly on-device and partly in the cloud, get to know their users, keep a security perimeter and can hold a credit card to buy things for them. He pointed to consumer agent progress such as Meta's Muse and Instinct, a startup he said is now valued at $10 billion. Separately, Cerebras chief strategy officer Andy Hock told SiliconANGLE's AI Data Pipeline Forum that agentic workflows make speed a prerequisite, describing a Wafer-Scale Engine more than 50 times bigger than prior chips and claiming 10-15x faster inference than other platforms — both company figures, not independently verified. The report also notes Cerebras raised $5.5 billion in its May 2026 IPO.
