Big AI chip startup Cerebras plans 2.5MW deployment on Nautilus’ floating data center

Chip startup Cerebras Systems is leasing space at Nautilus Data Technologies’ floating barge data center in California. Nautilus recently announced that it secured a 2.5MW agreement with Cerebras late last year to bring the chip firm’s AI hardware into Nautilus’ Stockton data center. “It was Nautilus’ ability to scale its services to meet Cerebras’ 30kW per rack criteria quickly (within 60 days) and without reservation that sealed the deal and allowed Cerebras to begin offering its AI services faster than anyone could have imagined,” Nautilus said this week.
