Cerebras Systems has secured a deal with UAE-based technology group G42 worth approximately $100m. The agreement will see Cerebras provide an initial artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputer, with the potential for up to nine more units. G42 has committed to acquiring three Condor Galaxy systems, which comprise nine interconnected supercomputers.

The first of these, Condor Galaxy 1, is set to be operational this year, with the remaining two expected to be online in early 2024. The deal is part of a wider effort to challenge Nvidia's dominance in the AI computing sector.
