SambaNova Cloud

SambaNova Cloud delivers full-precision (16-bit) AI inference at blazing speeds (up to 1,000+ tokens/second) powered by custom SambaNova Reconfigurable Dataflow Units (SN40L RDUs). This guarantees zero accuracy loss from heavy quantization while sustaining high throughput for agentic coding.

Key Advantages

  • 16-bit Full Precision: Unlike heavily quantized 4-bit/8-bit hosting, SambaNova preserves mathematical accuracy and code indentation integrity.
  • Sustained 1,000+ Tok/s: Ideal for massive codebase scanning and high-throughput subagent pipelines.
