Cerebras Systems CEO Andrew Feldman predicts that everyday households will soon adopt dedicated artificial intelligence appliances running locally. Speaking Tuesday at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, the chipmaker co-founder stated that this consumer shift is rapidly approaching. Feldman compared future home assistants to modern mobile phones, explaining that they will split tasks between local device processing and cloud computing.
He stated that these personal assistants will operate inside a security perimeter, learn user habits, and handle purchases using linked credit cards. To illustrate current momentum, Feldman pointed to consumer AI agents such as Meta’s Muse and the startup Instinct, which recently reached a ten billion dollar valuation.
Feldman noted that he already relies on a personal collection of digital agents to manage his calendar and prepare for meetings. As an infrastructure provider, Feldman stated his company focuses on building underlying hardware platforms rather than consumer applications. He left it to startup founders to invent entirely new consumer-facing use cases that leverage these upcoming platforms.
