Overview

Cerebras Inference is available through AWS Marketplace, allowing you to access our ultra-fast inference models with billing consolidated through your AWS account. This integration is ideal for organizations that want to:
  • Consolidate AI infrastructure costs with existing AWS spending
  • Leverage AWS Enterprise Discount Programs (EDP) and committed spend
  • Simplify procurement and billing processes
  • Access Cerebras models without separate vendor management
All usage is billed monthly through your AWS account as a marketplace line item, making it easy to track and manage costs alongside your other AWS services.
