alt Hacker NewsI'm very worried for both.
Cerebras requires a $3K/year membership to use APIs.
Groq's been dead for about 6 months, even pre-acquisition.
I hope Inception is going well, it's the only real democratic target at this. Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite was promising but it never really went anywhere, even by the standards of a Google preview

You can call Cerebras APIs via OpenRouter if you specify them as the provider in your request fyi. It's a bit pricier but it exists!
I don't think it's a good comparison given Inception work on software and Cerebras/Groq work on hardware. If Inception demonstrate that diffusion LLMs work well at scale (at a reasonable price) then we can probably expect all the other frontier labs to copy them quickly, similarly to OpenAI's reasoning models.
I am currently using their APIs on a paygo plan, I think it might just be a capacity issue for new sign ups.
What do you mean by Grow is dead since about 6 months ago? Not refuting your point, but I’m curious.
Once again, it's a tech that Google created but never turned into a product. AFAIK in their demo last year, Google showed a special version of Gemini that used diffusion. They were so excited about it (on the stage) and I thought that's what they'd use in Google search and Gmail.
Cerebras are on OpenRouter.
