G42 and Cerebras announced Condor Galaxy 1 on 20 July 2023: 64 Cerebras CS-2 systems with 54 million cores and 4 exaflops of 16-bit AI compute, hosted at Colovore in Santa Clara, California. They said it was the first of nine linked supercomputers totalling 36 exaflops, with two more (CG-2 and CG-3) planned in the US in early 2024 and six more after that.

Why it matters

A UAE state-linked group bought AI training capacity at scale from a non-NVIDIA supplier, placing Gulf money in US-hosted compute.
