You should rely only on information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. See "Information Incorporated by Reference" on page 6.

The shares of Common Stock are not being offered in any jurisdiction where the offering is not permitted. -2- 5 OUR BUSINESS Cray Inc. designs, builds, sells and services high-performance computer systems, sometimes referred to as "supercomputers." Our executive offices are located at Merrill Place, Suite 600, 411 First Avenue South, Seattle, WA 98104-2860, and our telephone number is (206) 701-2000. SELLING SHAREHOLDER On April 2, 2000, we issued 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to Silicon Graphics, Inc. ("SGI"), the selling shareholder, in connection with our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the Cray Research business unit of SGI (the "Cray Acquisition"). The Cray Acquisition is described more fully in our Current Report on Form 8-K for the event of April 2, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 17, 2000, and Amendment No. 1 thereto on Form 8-K/A as filed with the SEC on June 16, 2000. As of March 23, 2001 SGI held 1,000,000 shares of our common stock, or approximately 2.5% of our issued and outstanding shares on such date. All of the shares covered by this prospectus are being sold for the account of SGI. If all shares covered by this prospectus are sold, SGI will not hold any shares of our common stock. The shares covered by this prospectus include only the shares of common stock issued to SGI in the Cray Acquisition.

SGI has not had any material relationship with us or any of our affiliates within the past three years. In recognition of the fact that SGI may wish to be legally permitted to sell its shares when it deems appropriate, we have agreed with SGI to file with the SEC, under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), a registration statement on Form S-3, of which this prospectus forms a part, with respect to the resale of the shares, and have agreed to prepare and file such amendments and supplements to the registration statement as may be necessary to keep the registration statement effective until the shares are no longer required to be registered for sale by SGI. -3- 6 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION Cray is registering the shares covered by this prospectus for SGI. SGI or its pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest may sell the shares in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. In addition, the shares may be sold by one or more of the following methods: - a block trade in which a broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block, as principal, in order to facilitate the transaction; - purchases by a broker or dealer, as principal, in a market maker capacity or otherwise and resale by the broker or dealer for its account pursuant to their prospectus; or - ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker solicits purchases. Cray will pay the costs and fees of registering the shares, but SGI will pay any brokerage commissions, discounts or other expenses relating to the sale of the shares. Cray and SGI each have agreed to indemnify the other against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, that relate to statements or omissions in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 provides that during the period that any person is engaged in the distribution, as so defined in Regulation M, of our common stock, such person generally may not purchase shares of our common stock. SGI is subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our common stock by SGI. The foregoing may affect the marketability of our common stock. SGI may negotiate and pay brokers or dealers commissions, discounts or concessions for their services. In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by SGI may allow other broker or dealers to participate. However, SGI and any brokers or dealers involved in the sale or resale of the shares may qualify as "underwriters" within the meaning of the Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. In addition, the brokers' or dealers' commissions, discounts or concessions may qualify as underwriters' compensation under the Securities Act. If SGI qualifies as an "underwriter," it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of Section 5(b)(2) of the Securities Act. In addition to selling its shares under this prospectus, SGI may: - agree to indemnify any broker or dealer or agent against certain liabilities related to the selling of the shares, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act; -4- 7 - transfer its shares in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including directly by gift, distribution, or other transfer; or - sell its shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act rather than under this prospectus, if the transaction meets the requirements of Rule 144. Upon notification by SGI that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker or dealer for the sale of the shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing the material terms of the transaction. LEGAL MATTERS For purposes of this offering, Kenneth W. Johnson, the Company's General Counsel, is giving an opinion on the validity of the common shares. As of the date of this prospectus, Mr. Johnson held 39,713 shares of the Company's common stock and options exercisable for 270,000 shares of the Company's common stock. EXPERTS The balance sheets of Cray Inc., formerly known as Tera Computer Company, as of December 31, 1998 and 1999 and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, incorporated by reference into this prospectus, have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors, as stated in their report with respect thereto, which report expresses an unqualified opinion and includes an explanatory paragraph concerning our ability to continue as a going-concern. The statements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the Cray Research business unit of Silicon Graphics, Inc. as of March 31, 2000, and the related statements of revenue and direct operating expenses for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1999 and the nine month period ended March 31, 2000, included in the Form 8-K/A of Cray Inc., filed on June 16, 2000 and incorporated by reference into this prospectus, have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors, as stated in their report with respect thereto, which report expresses an unqualified opinion and includes an explanatory paragraph describing the expense allocations by Silicon Graphics, Inc. These financial statements have been incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon the reports of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION Our Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act, our directors will not be liable for monetary damages to Cray or its shareholders, excluding, however, liability for acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, illegal distributions or transactions from which the director receives benefits to which the director is not legally entitled. Our Restated Bylaws provide that Cray will indemnify its directors and, by action of the Board of Directors, may indemnify its officers, employees and other -5- 8 agents to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, except for any legal proceeding that is initiated by such directors, officers, employees or agents without authorization of the Board of Directors. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Cray pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 15. Indemnification of Officers and Directors. Article XII of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation and Section 11 of the Company's Restated Bylaws require indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act (the "Act"). Sections 23B.08.500 through 23B.08.600 of the Act authorize a court to award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnification to directors and officers on terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Section 23B.08.320 of the Act authorizes a corporation to limit a director's liability to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for acts or omissions as a director, except in certain circumstances involving intentional misconduct, self-dealing or illegal corporate loans or distributions, or any transaction from which the director personally receives a benefit in money, property or services to which the director is not legally entitled. Article XI of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation contains provisions implementing, to the fullest extent permitted by Washington law, such limitations on a director's liability to the Company and its shareholders. Item 16. Exhibits. 5 Opinion on Legality 23 Consent of Deloitte & Touche LLP II-1 11 24 Power of Attorney (included on signature page hereof) Item 17. Undertakings. (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) that, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement; (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. II-2 12 (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question, whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-3 13 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Seattle, State of Washington, on March 29, 2001.
