SambaNova

🎥 During a chat with Gemma Allen at SiliconANGLE & theCUBE NYSE Wired, Rodrigo Liang discussed our 3 major breakthroughs: - Launch of the SN50 – Our 5th-gen chip, purpose-built for cloud-scale AI inference - Strategic partnership with Intel Corporation – Accelerating next-gen AI infrastructure - $350M Series E funding – Fueling innovation in agentic AI and sovereign cloud solutions https://lnkd.in/gc48Zr8Z

SN50 is built for real-world AI, not just benchmarks. ✅ Instant AI responses ✅ Scales to 1000s of sessions ✅ 10T+ params, 10M+ context ✅ Lower cost-per-token The agentic era demands speed, scale & efficiency. SN50 delivers. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e7qS4Vnc

You've probably heard about OpenClaw by now, the open-source "doer" agent that doesn’t just chat but executes tasks from your machine. 🦞 But here’s the catch: Agentic workflows are slow and expensive when running on massive proprietary models. The solution? Specialized, smaller models working together, powered by our optimized AI infrastructure for ultra-low latency and high throughput.

"We were talking with SambaNova... Really fascinating company. A product that as far as i can understand, it is really efficient." —Matthew Miller 🎥 Great Bloomberg TV segment on the shifting AI chip landscape: https://lnkd.in/gvJmMhJZ

Great read to Sally Ward-Foxton's take on our news this week. Her piece in EE Times | Electronic Engineering Times reports: “The SN50 has the same dataflow architecture as the SN40L, SambaNova’s previous LLM inference accelerator, with the same three-tier memory hierarchy. Compute per chip has been increased, support for lower precision math added, and there’s a new proprietary interconnect protocol that further enables scale-out. All of these changes drive interactivity and economics for fast tokens in agentic systems.” Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/g8nehNCx #AI #AgenticAI #Inference #Semiconductors #DataCenter #SambaNova #Intel

"Together, the companies aim to integrate Intel Xeon processors into SambaNova’s AI systems and work on building new 'hetereogenous' data centers that include multiple kinds of chips to handle various different AI and non-AI workloads." - Jeremy Kahn, Fortune Our partnership with Intel Corporation represents more than capital – it’s about creating infrastructure flexible enough for AI’s evolving demands. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eJUvuU_6

When the NYSE celebrates you 🥹 Incredibly humbled and stoked to see SambaNova take flight above the iconic NYSE trading floor today! A spectacular tribute to our $350M+ Series E funding and groundbreaking collaboration with Intel Corporation. To the NYSE team: Thank you for turning this milestone into a moment. Your support means the world as we push the boundaries of AI. To our team, investors, and partners: This is just the beginning. The future of enterprise AI has never looked brighter. Brian J. Baumann 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gaeTre5c

"The SambaNova partnership gives Intel a foot in the door with AI infrastructure customers while that product is still in development." Our partnership with Intel Corporation brings together two things the AI industry needs right now: specialized acceleration and enterprise-grade deployment. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gnfNp_Mp

"The large pool of DDR5 memory available to each accelerator enables SambaNova to quickly move customer models and key-value caches – essentially the model's short-term memory – in and out of memory in a matter of milliseconds." - Tobias Mann, The Register Thank you to The Register’s Tobias Mann for his breakdown of what sets us apart.

SambaNova Raises $350M+ to Power the Agentic AI Era We’re thrilled to announce the oversubscribed Series E round, led by Vista Equity Partners and Cambium Capital Management, and with strong participation from Intel Capital. New investors joining include: Assam Ventures, Battery Ventures, Gulf Development Public Company Limited, Mayfield, Saudi First Data, Seligman , and accounts advised by T. Rowe Price. Existing investors participating include: A&E, 8Square, Atlantic Bridge, BlackRock, GV (Google Ventures), Nepenthe, Nuri Capital, and Redline Capital. As agentic workloads expand, enterprises are realizing that traditional infrastructure optimized for training struggles to meet production latency and cost demands. “We’re proud to be investing in SambaNova at such a pivotal time,” said Monti Sayora, Partner at Vista Equity Partners. “SN50 is engineered for agentic AI systems that orchestrate multiple models and process requests in near real-time more efficiently than GPU-centric systems.” Proceeds from this round will expand SN50 production, scale SambaNova Cloud, and deepen enterprise software integrations, fueling the next generation of high-performance, cost-efficient AI infrastructure. https://bit.ly/4r7h3zW #AI #AgenticAI
