The bigger the chip, the worse the yield.

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 suggest to read their website, they explain pretty well how they manage good yield. Though I’m not an expert in this field. I does make sense and I would be surprised if they were caught lying.
