Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

The AMD and Cerebras fused Helios and wafer-scale inference system is a datacenter architecture that splits large-model serving into separate prefill and decode tiers running on different silicon, pairing wafer-scale parts optimised for prompt ingestion with rack-scale GPU parts optimised for token generation. Disaggregating the two phases lets each run on hardware suited to its very different memory and bandwidth profile rather than forcing one accelerator to do both.
