SambaNova's third-generation AI chip, built on TSMC's 5nm process with a Reconfigurable Dataflow Architecture and a unique three-tier memory system (on-chip SRAM, HBM, and large external DRAM). The tiered memory lets a single eight-socket node host and serve models of up to five trillion parameters, giving SambaNova a differentiated angle on large-model inference versus GPU clusters that must shard models across many devices.
SambaNova's full-stack platform, delivered as turnkey DataScale rack systems for on-premises deployment and as SambaNova Cloud, a high-speed inference service. Built on SN40L RDUs and the SambaFlow software stack, it offers record-setting token-generation throughput on open models like Llama and DeepSeek, targeting enterprises, government labs, and sovereign-AI customers that want fast inference without managing GPU infrastructure.
