Purpose-built to run AI *faster* than anyone else in the world, SambaNova Systems has been consistently (and quietly) delivering for customers, for years. 🚀 Congratulations to Lip-Bu Tan, Rodrigo Liang, and cofounding Stanford University Professors Kunle Olukotun and Chris Re. Excited for this team to share even more about the impact of their work (and where this is headed) over the coming months! 👀
Artificial Analysis has independently benchmarked SambaNova Systems' custom AI chips at 1,084 tokens/s on Llama 3 Instruct (8B)! 🏁 This is the fastest output speed we have benchmarked to date and >8 times faster than the median output speed across API providers of Meta's Llama 3 Instruct (8B) we benchmark. SambaNova currently does not yet publicly offer a serverless API but you can try out their system via their chat interface (see below post). SambaNova is not yet listed on the Artificial Analysis leaderboard but we understand API services using SambaNova chips will be available in the near future and we look forward to initiating full coverage. SambaNova’s custom SN40L RDU chips are their fourth generation design and are built on TSMC’s 5nm process. They are reported as having the potential to scale to serve much larger models than Llama 3 Instruct (8B) - Llama 3 400B+ r. Artificial Analysis has also verified that Llama 3 Instruct (8B) on Samba-1 Turbo achieves quality scores in-line with full FP16 precision by testing an MMLU-based benchmark. #AI

“One of the things that got us excited about CUR8 is we love the combination of Marta Krupinska’s deep technology experience – she’s a multi-time founder – with her co-founder, Gabrielle Walker, who’s one of the leading thinkers in the space,” says GV Partner Luna Schmid. “You need the tech mentality of building for an industry, but you also need a lot of that legitimacy that someone like Gabrielle brings.” At Viva Technology 2024, Luna and Marta joined Airbus’ Julie Kitcher, Capgemini’s Florent Andrillon, and Plan A’s Lubomila Jordanova to share their insights on building scalable carbon removal technology — https://bit.ly/3ywuF1U
