Cerebras CEO predicts widespread adoption of personal, locally running home AI assistants

Cerebras Systems CEO and co-founder Andrew Feldman stated at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 that personal AI assistants are nearing a future where everyone will have one at home. These assistants will operate with both on-device and cloud processing, possess a security perimeter, and have the capability to access credit cards and make purchases, potentially making a meaningful impact on daily life. Feldman cited consumer AI agents like Meta’s Muse and Instinct as evidence of AI finding footing with everyday users.
