Cerebras Systems’ Andrew Feldman on whether AI can keep scaling at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026
Cerebras Systems CEO Andrew Feldman is set to discuss the future of AI scaling and hardware infrastructure at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026. The company is challenging traditional chip architectures with its wafer-scale computing approach to meet the massive energy and compute demands of modern AI.
Why it matters
As AI models grow, the physical limitations of current hardware are becoming a critical bottleneck for the industry's continued advancement.
AI models keep getting more capable. But every leap forward demands more compute, energy, and infrastructure. How far can that continue?
Cerebras Systems has spent the past decade challenging a basic assumption behind AI computing: that increasingly powerful AI must depend on conventional chip architectures. The company built its approach around wafer-scale computing and today provides AI compute through on-premise systems and its cloud platform.
At TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 , Cerebras Systems CEO and co-founder Andrew Feldman will take the Disrupt Stage for “ Can AI Keep Scaling? ” He’ll explore the growing demand for compute, energy, and infrastructure, how Cerebras is approaching those constraints differently, and what comes next if today’s AI hardware reaches its limits.
