Cerebras Opens AI Inference API, Offers 1M Free Tokens Daily
In a major move for AI development, Cerebras Systems announced on June 2, 2025 the complete opening of its inference API to all developers worldwide. The company has eliminated its previous waitlist system while introducing an unprecedented free tier: one million tokens per day for every developer.
Breaking Speed Barriers Cerebras' solution delivers what many developers have been waiting for - raw speed. Benchmarks show their API processes requests up to 20 times faster than traditional GPU-based alternatives. When running the Llama4Scout model, the system generates over 2,600 tokens per second, setting a new industry standard for real-time AI applications.
Expanding the AI Ecosystem The open API supports leading open-source models including Llama4 and Qwen3-32B through simple integration. Strategic partnerships with platforms like Hugging Face and Meta mean Cerebras' technology now reaches over five million developers instantly. "Select Cerebras as your provider and experience the difference immediately," suggests their integration documentation.
CEO Andrew Feldman emphasized their mission: "We're removing barriers to innovation. Whether you're prototyping a medical diagnosis tool or building the next viral chatbot, our free tier gives you serious computing power without upfront costs."
Global Infrastructure Ready With six new data centers across North America and Europe, Cerebras demonstrates its commitment to low-latency global service. Enterprises gain access to the same high-performance infrastructure that's powering breakthroughs in finance, healthcare, and interactive media.
Industry analysts observe this move could disrupt NVIDIA's dominance in AI inference markets. Cerebras' wafer-scale engine (WSE-3) technology offers unique advantages that may reshape how developers approach large-scale AI deployment.
