Newly public Cerebras (largest tech IPO of 2026) announced it is serving Kimi K2.6 — a trillion-parameter open-weight model from Moonshot AI — at 981 tokens per second, independently verified by Artificial Analysis. The result is 6.7x faster than the next-fastest GPU-based cloud provider and 23x faster than the median. For a standard 10,000-token agentic coding task, Cerebras delivered in 5.6 seconds versus 163.7 seconds on the official Kimi endpoint.
Why it matters: A 6.7x inference speed advantage at trillion-parameter scale is a direct challenge to Nvidia’s grip on AI compute — and accelerates the viability of real-time agentic AI for enterprise.
