SambaNova provides a powerful, vertically-integrated AI system for enterprises seeking sovereign control, but its significant cost and complexity limits its viability to large-scale, well-funded organizations.


The full-stack AI platform to build and deploy your organization's own private, state-of-the-art generative AI models.

SambaNova Systems provides a complete, full-stack AI platform designed for large enterprises, government agencies, and research institutions. The solution vertically integrates hardware and software, combining their custom-built DataScale® systems featuring Reconfigurable Dataflow Units (RDUs) with the SambaNova Suite™, a comprehensive software platform for building, deploying, and managing foundation models. The primary goal of SambaNova is to enable organizations to develop and operate their own private, secure, and high-performance AI capabilities. By training and fine-tuning state-of-the-art models like their Samba-1 Composition of Experts (CoE) on their own proprietary data, customers retain full ownership and control, addressing key concerns around data privacy, security, and AI sovereignty. This makes it an alternative to relying on public cloud AI APIs for mission-critical or sensitive applications.
