Cerebras Systems is seeking to raise as much as $3.5 billion in an initial public offering in the United States, according to its filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Sunnyvale, California-based artificial intelligence chipmaker and data center operator is moving to bolster its position against rivals in the red-hot AI hardware market.

The filing shows Cerebras is offering 28 million shares at a price range of $115 to $125 each. Accounting for the so-called overallotment option, the transaction could raise as much as $4.03 billion if fully exercised.

Cerebras filed confidentially for a listing earlier this year, months after withdrawing a previous registration, confirming a Bloomberg News report.

The recap

  • Cerebras files for US initial public offering seeking funds.
  • Offering of 28 million shares priced $115 to $125.
  • Company filed confidentially earlier this year after withdrawal.
