  Inference demand will grow far faster than other data center uses, making Cerebras an attractive play.

  Kelly argues inference will grow a lot more than the rest of data center demand, and the hyperscalers are already buying it. He prefers going down the stack to chips like Cerebras and Cisco rather than training-chip names. He acknowledges that valuation caught up with the stock during the tech selloff.

  “I mean, inference is going to grow a lot more. We talked about the hyperscalers. I think this is one way to do it.”at 27:27

  Cerebras could be a rocket ship; cash-rich, near profitability, and growing sales near 100%.

  Nathan says roughly a third of Cerebras's market cap is in cash, and it is expected to be profitable next year. Its sales are growing close to 100% year over year. He sees an opportunity to diversify away from the training-chip names, and a Microsoft customer win makes it more attractive.

  “Stock could be a rocket ship right here... I think maybe a third of their market cap is in cash. They're expected to be profitable next year. They're growing sales, I want to say, 100% year over year, too.”at 27:47

  Cerebras is fast, but large models that spill off its wafer lose the memory-bandwidth advantage.

  Volpi says Cerebras has done very well to go fast, but if a model doesn't fit in its on-chip SRAM, performance suffers. Once a model goes off the chip, speed drops. Because the wafer is so large, the chip is at a significant memory-bandwidth disadvantage once it goes off-chip. Cerebras now runs a large model on its chip, but he guesses OpenAI had to work hard to make that model fit. Volpi's firm is an investor in Cerebras, so he is weighing a real limitation while holding a position.

  “You're actually at a significant disadvantage in terms of the memory bandwidth once you go off chip.”at 40:56

• Scott Wilson · Washington University Investment Management Company (WashU)Bearish

  Cerebras is a great company, but its valuation is hard to justify on current KPIs; WashU is trimming and hedging.

  WashU held a large position at the IPO and took some chips off the table and put hedges on before distribution. Scott says that measured against expectations for the next four or five years, the business's current KPIs make the valuation tough to justify, and that the valuation is effectively a bet on future results. He calls the company clearly great and has confidence in its CEO over a decade, so WashU keeps some exposure. The company has a lot to prove.

  “it's tough to justify the valuation, even at [$253 billion], wherever it's at today, based on what they've done the last twelve months, you're, you're betting on the, the come, so to speak”at 38:40

  Cerebras is a beaten-down AI chip stock with latency tech and cybersecurity upside; he is buying the dip.

  Cerebras has fallen to an all-time low of about $1.10, down 71% from its high, because most of its revenue is tied to OpenAI. Malcolm argues that Cerebras has already proven it can solve the latency problem inside data centers. That matters for agentic cybersecurity systems that run autonomously, where latency can decide whether an attack is caught. He expects more partners beyond CrowdStrike, which is its main partner so far, across a large cybersecurity TAM. He is adding to a full position at this discount.

  “So this is probably the most speculative name that I own personally, but I'm also looking at an opportunity to own a chip stock that I think it was at $1.80 the October 1.”at 16:54
