Cerebras and Core42 start phase 2 for world’s largest AI supercomputers
Cerebras Systems and Core42 have started phase two of the construction of the world’s largest interconnected AI supercomputers dubbed Condor Galaxy 2.
The Cerebras supercomputers for accelerating generative AI will hit up to 36 exaFLOPs in partnership with Core42, a subsidiary of the UAE-based technology holding group G42, which is in Abu Dhabi.
The partners have announced the initiation of the second phase of the Condor Galaxy network. This ambitious network, comprising nine interconnected supercomputers, aims to reach a staggering milestone of 36 exaFLOPs AI compute capacity.
The completion of Condor Galaxy 1 has paved the way for the initiation of Condor Galaxy 2 (CG-2). This second phase, projected to achieve four exaFLOPs and incorporate 54 million AI-optimized compute cores, will expand the Condor Galaxy network to a total of eight exaFLOPs and 108 million cores upon completion. This advancement signifies the commitment of Cerebras and Core42 to constructing a constellation of AI supercomputers with unprecedented compute power.

Rather than make individual chips for its centralized processing units (CPUs), Cerebras takes entire silicon wafers and prints its cores on the wafers, which are the size of pizza. These wafers have the equivalent of hundreds of chips on a single wafer, with many cores on each wafer. And that’s how they get to 54 million cores in a single supercomputer.
“Our strategic partnership with Cerebras Systems is propelling us toward our collective vision of establishing the world’s largest
