Cerebras will bring its first European data center capacity online by the end of 2026, with rapid build-out across France and the Nordics. The company plans to expand total capacity to 200 MW by the end of 2027, with a portion of that capacity expected to support OpenAI workloads as part of the companies’ existing partnership. The expansion will bring Cerebras’ high-speed AI inference infrastructure closer to European users, helping deliver faster response times for increasingly complex AI workloads.</p>  <p>&#34;We are contracting significant capacity for 2027, with data centers slated for Norway and Finland as we actively build across Europe,&#34; said Feldman. "These deployments will enable us to move decisively on what our customers have been asking for: fast, high-performance AI compute located in Europe.&#34;</p>  <p><strong>Frontier compute for Europe </strong><br></br>As AI models support increasingly complex and interactive workloads, demand for local, low-latency AI infrastructure has surged across European enterprises, research institutions, and governments seeking alternatives to compute capacity concentrated in the U.S. and Asia. Cerebras&#39; wafer-scale architecture is designed to deliver industry-leading inference and training performance, and the company&#39;s European build-out positions it to serve this demand directly from within the region.</p>  <p>&#34;Our customers don&#39;t just want AI compute. They want it close to home, powered responsibly, and available fast,&#34; added Feldman. &#34;This expansion and capacity plan reflects our confidence in Europe as a long-term growth market for Cerebras.&#34;</p>  <p><strong>Cerebras at RAISE Summit</strong><br></br>Cerebras co-founder and CEO Andrew Feldman will participate on stage at RAISE Summit in Paris, appearing alongside Sachin Katti of OpenAI on July 9 at 12:40 PM CEST.</p>  <p>A live webcast and replay of the event will be available on Cerebras’ Investor Relations site at <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=mdXH-1IBBskZ8EQMBzRq1bKgkzftBw5l3hHeWuy1vclsbymYopUV0hO2bpZ8NCwmLUYdgUvn4ST36ICCwItijqHHD15tFI8AXRtJ6HEw0SxrgR2vDzkHSL4FrSlcOsQ4XgvElUDFXdpBqMsc-xIgGXfOjXXfmlkW7tnqTr3OGH5Tu3B0hxpXvgdgPuxD-vql2Uz5GcxYcWSAe7VpeOUYCvuSlKTDdMkbksS_sAlX2ZWVhftf5SvI0VuvIzr_Fl6kkZUvmw9zZhProJBG57CMwGn3dTVb2GpN8XVIgQrGBJe0vWKpGOLbG9kgYRuoUkf4acyIU7M699_mO6IJCZtdE8B1ntXpbrH11z3oILK9aWwMnn_NMV87CSYdTJEgCVIhXyMyFv0yVT9TePz6JSVZkXfR7VQQOMY0CfLFZubiaukWnXlRt3pBSarMalPX7R3OjQtSUk4daZIl-YY8Fz3POS2vH14t-AHsx08V1TYPufUQcH0fXHxkJesVsjNZiHCEPgswCDItQZtIOKsnyZtXgdc-BnN1LGWhd_IelVZVlUqzVJC-ef_-fvudvMR643vTg8Jfs7bJ_s3q-Je3qP21gRL4b6QX5_BtPQt5_PQ6DyZzGxUAM-SGViu0A1PsnTUOQhvhAtSH_WxrisKsPJ9xCA==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><u>https://investors.cerebras.ai/</u></a>.</p>  <p><strong>About Cerebras Systems</strong></p>  <p>Cerebras Systems (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CBRS">CBRS</a>) is building the world’s fastest AI infrastructure.
