“BREAKING: SambaNova Announces First Close of $1 Billion Series E at $11B Valuation Led by General Atlantic, with participation from Seligman Ventures, T. Rowe Price, & Capital Group @SambaNovaAI CEO Rodrigo Liang (@RodrigoLiang) says AI is entering a new era of "premium inference" "The world of inference is running into an economics problem." Enter: new SambaNova "SM50" "A cloud-scale RDU that allows us to deliver premium inference at significantly higher performance than you can get with GPUs, at a fraction of the cost & a fraction of the power." Why does that matter? "When you're running faster with the high-accuracy models, you can charge more at a lower cost, allowing our service providers to generate more margin." Liang says the shift is just beginning: "The world's moving into inference." And after today's funding announcement: "We're using this capital to accelerate our supply chain and make sure we can deliver the racks to customers worldwide." Full interview from Paris coming soon.”
