An AI hardware company building custom chips and systems for training and inference.
Definition
SambaNova is an AI hardware and systems company that designs custom processors aimed at running and training large models efficiently. Its flexible chip design aims to handle a high volume of work for both training and inference (running a trained model), and it offers full systems and a cloud service rather than only chips. It is one of several companies building alternatives to the GPU chips (graphics chips repurposed for AI math) that most AI systems run on.
