                              ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

        This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, using a "shelf" registration
process. Under the shelf process, we may sell any number of shares of our Common
Stock in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $20,000,000. This
prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities that we may
offer. Each time that we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus
supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that
offering. The prospectus supplement also may add, update or change information
contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any
prospectus supplement together with additional information described under the
heading "Where You Can Find More Information." We may only use this prospectus
to sell securities if it is accompanied by a prospectus supplement.

        The registration statement that contains this prospectus, including the
exhibits to the registration statement, contains additional information about us
and the securities offered under this prospectus. That registration statement
can be read at the Commission's web site or at the Commission's offices
referenced under the heading "Where You Can Find More Information."

                       WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

        We file annual, quarterly and periodic reports and other information
with the SEC. You may read and copy the registration statement of which this
prospectus constitutes a part and any other document that we file at the SEC's
public reference rooms located at Room 1024, Judiciary Plaza, 450 Fifth Street
N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549; 7 World Trade Center, Suite 1300, New York, New

        Cray Inc., formerly known as Tera Computer Company, designs, builds and
sells 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.


                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

        We will use the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock
for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Unless otherwise
indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we anticipate that any net
proceeds from the sale of the Shares of Common Stock offered under this
prospectus will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include, but
are not limited to, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, the
payment of the remaining obligations that we incurred in acquiring the Cray
Research business unit from Silicon Graphics, Inc., and the repayment or
refinancing of outstanding indebtedness. The prospectus supplement relating to
specific sales of our Common Stock hereunder will set forth our intended use for
the net proceeds we receive from the sales. Pending the application of the net
proceeds, we expect to invest the proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing
instruments or other investment-grade securities.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        General. We may sell the shares of Common Stock offered hereby directly
to one or more purchasers, through agents on our behalf, or securities through
underwriters or dealers designated by us from time to time. We may distribute
the shares of Common Stock from time to time in one or more transactions at a
fixed price or prices (which may be changed from time to time), at market prices
prevailing at the times of sale, at prices related to these prevailing market
prices or at negotiated prices. The applicable prospectus supplement will
describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including:

        -       the name or names of any underwriters, if any;
        -       the purchase price of the shares of Common Stock and the
                proceeds we will receive from the sale;
        -       any underwriting discounts and other items constituting
                underwriters' compensation; and
        -       any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to
                dealers.

        Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement, if any, are
underwriters of the securities offered with the prospectus supplement.

        Sales Directly to Purchasers. We may enter into agreements directly with
one or more purchasers. Such agreements may provide for the sale of our common
stock at a fixed price, based on the market price of the common stock or
otherwise. Alternatively, such agreements may provide for the sale of common
stock over a period of time by means of draw downs at our election which the
purchaser would be obligated to accept under specified conditions. Under this
form of agreement, we may sell common stock at a per share price which is
discounted from the market price. Such agreements also may provide for sales of
common stock based on combinations of or variations from these methods.

        Use of Underwriters and Agents. If underwriters are used in the sale,
they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell them from
time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at
varying prices determined at the time of sale. We may offer the Shares of Common
Stock to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing
underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain
conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the shares of
Common Stock offered by the prospectus supplement. Any public offering price and
any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change
from time to time.

        We may sell shares of Common Stock directly or through agents we
designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and
sale of our Common Stock and we will describe any commissions we will pay the
agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states
otherwise, our agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its
appointment. We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by
certain types of institutional investors to purchase securities from us at the
public offering price set forth in the



                                      -5-
<PAGE>   8

prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for
payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. We will describe the
conditions to these contracts and the commissions we must pay for solicitation
of these contracts in the prospectus supplement.

        Deemed Underwriters. In connection with the sale of the securities
offered with this prospectus, underwriters, dealers or agents may receive
compensation from us or from purchasers of the securities for whom they may act
as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. The
underwriters, dealers or agents which participate in the distribution of the
securities may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act and any
discounts or commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of the
securities received by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act. Anyone deemed to be an underwriter under
the Securities Act may be subject to statutory liabilities, including Sections
11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange
Act.

        Indemnification and Other Relationships. We may provide agents and
underwriters with indemnification against certain civil liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments
that the agents or underwriters may make with respect to such liabilities.
Agents and underwriters may engage in transactions with, or perform services
for, us in the ordinary course of business.


                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

        Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue 100,000,000 shares
of common stock, $.01 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, $.01 par value per share. As of September 11, 2000, there were 33,448,214
shares of common stock, and no shares of preferred stock, outstanding.

        Common Stock. All outstanding common stock is, and any stock issued
under this prospectus will be, fully paid and nonassessable. Subject to the
rights of the holders of our outstanding preferred stock, if any, holders of
common stock:

        -       are entitled to any dividends validly declared;

        -       will share ratably in our net assets in the event of a
                liquidation; and

        -       are entitled to one vote per share.

        The common stock has no conversion rights. Holders of common stock have
no preemption, subscription, redemption, or call rights related to those shares.

        Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors has the authority, without
further action by the shareholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred
stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion



                                      -6-
<PAGE>   9

rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking
fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation
of such series, without any further vote or action by the shareholders. The
issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders
of Common Stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend
payments and payments upon liquidation may have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company, which could have a
depressive effect on the market price of the Company's Common Stock. The Company
currently has no shares of its preferred stock outstanding.

        Transfer Agent. ChaseMellon Shareholder Services LLC is the transfer
agent and registrar for our common stock.

Counsel of Cray. As of September 11, 2000, Mr. Johnson owned 39,579 shares of
our common stock and had options to acquire an additional 230,000 shares.


                   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



                                      -7-
<PAGE>   10

provide that Cray will indemnify its directors and, by action of the Board of
Directors, may indemnify its officers, employees and other 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.


                STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

        This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this
prospectus contain forward-looking statements within the "safe harbor"
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect
to our financial condition, results of operations and business. Words such as
"anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates"
and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. The
section entitled "Risk Factors" that appears in our quarterly report on Form
10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2000, as updated from time to time
in our subsequent quarterly and annual reports, describe some, but not all, of
the factors that could cause these differences.

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.

                                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

                        Act that are incorporated by reference in the

                (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 shares offered therein, and the offering of such
                        shares 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

        (b)     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes

                Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Security 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 shares offered therein, and the offering of such
                shares at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
                offering thereof.

        (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 shares 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.
