Home AI Is Closer Than You Think, Says Cerebras Chief

Cerebras Systems CEO Andrew Feldman outlined a near-term vision for AI at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 this week: personal AI assistants living in homes, running partly locally and partly in the cloud. Feldman pointed to emerging consumer agents like Meta's Muse as evidence the technology is ready for mainstream adoption. He described future home AI as deeply personalized systems with security layers, credit card access, and autonomous purchasing power—much like how smartphones balance device and cloud work today. Feldman already uses agent collections himself to manage calendars and prepare meeting briefs, finding value in automating familiar tasks. He's less interested in chasing consumer ideas himself, preferring to build infrastructure that other founders can build on.
