Cerebras Systems Inc. is teaming up with the government of Guyana on a multibillion-dollar deal to build the area’s first data center, part of a push by the AI chip upstart to help countries expand their artificial intelligence infrastructure.
The data center — located in Wales, Guyana — will have a capacity of 100 megawatts and be able to serve nearby nations, said Andy Hock, the company’s senior vice president for product and strategy. Cerebras and the government will share revenue from the data center, which is scheduled to break ground in the fourth quarter of next year and be operational in early 2027.
