Cerebras Systems has revolutionized the world of generative AI with the groundbreaking launch of the DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B inference, offering unprecedented speeds that are reshaping the industry.
Unmatched Performance: 57x Faster Than GPUs
The DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B delivers record-breaking performance by achieving over 1,500 tokens per second—an incredible 57 times faster than traditional GPU-based solutions. This remarkable speed transforms complex AI reasoning tasks into near-instantaneous operations, enabling faster decision-making and advanced model deployment.
“DeepSeek R1 represents a pivotal moment in AI innovation,” said Hagay Lupesko, SVP of AI Cloud at Cerebras. “By delivering real-time responses with our Cerebras Inference platform, we’re fundamentally altering how enterprises and developers leverage sophisticated AI models.”
A New Era of Practical AI Deployment
Powered by the revolutionary Cerebras Wafer Scale Engine, the platform achieves real-world performance improvements that were previously unimaginable. For example, a coding prompt that traditionally takes 22 seconds on competing platforms is completed in just 1.5 seconds on Cerebras—an astonishing 15x reduction in time.
This leap in efficiency makes it possible to deploy advanced reasoning models that once required significant computational resources. Developers can now integrate these models seamlessly into applications, unlocking new levels of functionality and user experience.
DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B: Advanced Yet Efficient
The DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B combines the innovative reasoning capabilities of DeepSeek’s 671B parameter Mixture of Experts (MoE) model with the widely supported Llama architecture by Meta. Despite its comparatively compact 70B parameter size, it outperforms larger models in complex tasks such as mathematics and coding.
