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.

Supported Models​

SambaNova serves full 16-bit precision models with high throughput and 128k context windows:

Coding & Agentic Execution​

  • Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct - (Recommended for Coding) Surgical diffs, unit testing, and multi-file code editing
  • Meta-Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct - (Recommended for General Development) Flagship 70B open-weights model for architecture and coding
  • Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct - Low-latency model for rapid commit generation and simple edits

Deep Reasoning & Planning​

  • DeepSeek-R1 - (Recommended for Planning) Frontier 671B chain-of-thought reasoning without quantization degradation
  • DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70B - High-speed distilled reasoning model

Ultra-Scale Foundation​

  • Meta-Llama-3.1-405B-Instruct - Full 405B parameter model served at 16-bit precision for high-complexity architectural analysis

Configuration in PostQode​

  1. Open PostQode Settings ().
  2. Select SambaNova in the API Provider dropdown.
  3. Enter your SambaNova API Key from cloud.sambanova.ai.
  4. Select your model from the dropdown (e.g. Meta-Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct, Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct, or DeepSeek-R1).
  5. Click Save Settings to connect.

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.
