Cerebras stock jumped 6% in premarket trading after OpenAI's chief executive Sam Altman described the chipmaker as a "close partner," according to CNBC. The comment appears to have reassured investors about the strength of the relationship between the two companies. Cerebras makes specialized chips used to power artificial intelligence systems, and its fortunes are closely watched as demand for AI computing hardware grows. Altman's remark gave the market a signal of confidence in Cerebras's role in supporting OpenAI's work, even though the report does not detail what the partnership involves.
