SambaNova

aid: sambanova
name: SambaNova
description: SambaNova Systems designs the SN-series Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit (RDU) AI chips and operates SambaCloud,
  a managed inference platform serving open-source models including the DeepSeek, Llama, Gemma, MiniMax, and gpt-oss families.
  The SambaCloud API is OpenAI-compatible and is consumed through first-party Python and TypeScript SDKs as well as the SambaNova
  AI Starter Kit collection on GitHub. SambaNova additionally ships SambaStack as an integrated chips-to-model on-prem appliance,
  SambaManaged managed services, and SambaRack rack-scale systems. The company emphasizes sovereign AI partnerships in Australia,
  Europe, and the UK and a recently announced heterogeneous inference collaboration with Intel.
