Cerebras CEO says we’re nearing a future where everyone has a personal AI assistant at home

Cerebras Systems CEO and co-founder Andrew Feldman believes we’re nearing a future where everyone will have an AI appliance in their own home. Speaking on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 on Tuesday, the chipmaker executive answered a question about what would need to happen for AI to become a home appliance, saying, “Actually, I don’t think that’s very far away.”

Cerebras Systems 的首席执行官兼联合创始人 Andrew Feldman 认为，我们正接近一个每个人家中都会拥有人工智能设备的未来。周二，在 TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 的舞台上，这位芯片制造商高管在回答关于人工智能要成为家用电器需要具备什么条件的问题时表示：“实际上，我认为这一天并不遥远。”

He pointed to the advances in consumer AI agents, like Meta’s Muse and Instinct, the startup now valued at $10 billion, as examples of how AI is finding its footing with everyday users. As for home AI? He predicts that we’ll have personal AI assistants that run locally.

他指出，Meta 的 Muse 以及估值已达 100 亿美元的初创公司 Instinct 等消费级 AI 代理的进步，证明了人工智能正如何在大众用户中站稳脚跟。至于家用 AI，他预测我们将拥有在本地运行的个人 AI 助手。

“Just like your cell phone, they’ll do some work on device and some work going back to the cloud,” Feldman explained. “But I think they will get to know you very well, and you will have a security perimeter around them. And they will certainly have access to credit cards and be able to buy things for you,” he continued. “I think they will make a meaningful impact in making our lives better.”

“就像你的手机一样，它们会在设备上处理部分工作，并将部分工作传回云端，” Feldman 解释道。“但我认为它们会非常了解你，并且你会为它们设置安全边界。它们肯定会拥有信用卡访问权限，并能为你购买商品，”他继续说道。“我认为它们将在改善我们的生活方面产生重大影响。”

Of course, for an AI chipmaker, the vision of a home AI appliance, or at least widespread consumer adoption of agentic technology, is certainly appealing. But Feldman isn’t just working on the hardware infrastructure; he’s a personal AI user himself, saying that he now uses “a collection of agents” to sweep his calendar, pull up information about the people he’s going to have a call with, and more.

当然，对于一家 AI 芯片制造商来说，家用 AI 设备的愿景，或者至少是代理技术在消费者中的广泛普及，无疑是极具吸引力的。但 Feldman 不仅仅致力于硬件基础设施；他本人也是个人 AI 的使用者，他表示自己现在使用“一系列代理”来整理日程、调取通话对象的信息等。

While AI is already doing many of the things we used to do manually, Feldman is most excited about the new possibilities — things that weren’t possible before. He’s leaving it up to other founders to figure out what those might be, though. “One of the reasons I love being in infrastructure is because I don’t need the consumer-facing idea … I like building the platforms that other people’s ideas take flight on,” he said.

虽然人工智能已经在处理许多我们过去需要手动完成的事情，但 Feldman 对新的可能性感到最兴奋——那些以前无法实现的事情。不过，他将这些可能性的探索留给了其他创始人。“我热爱基础设施领域的原因之一，就是我不需要面向消费者的创意……我喜欢构建平台，让其他人的创意得以腾飞，”他说。
