Cerebras has effectively 100% yield on these chips. They have an internal structure made by just repeating the same small modular units over and over again. This means they can just fuse off the broken bits without affecting overall function. It's not like it is with a CPU.

I think what you’re saying is that every wafer is usable, but won’t have the same performance characteristics, depending on how many bits are broken.

Doesn’t that just bucket wafers based on performance? Which effectively gives a yield to each bucket.
