Share

SambaNova Systems, a provider of software, hardware, and solutions platform for running workloads for artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning, and foundation model computing, introduces its DataScale® system of the next generation. DataScale is a fully integrated hardware-software system that enables organizations to reimagine their approach to AI.

“The new DataScale SN30 system achieves world record-breaking performance when compared to the latest DGX A100 systems,” said Marshall Choy, SVP of Product at SambaNova Systems.

According to a report by Google, the impact of artificial intelligence on the MENA region’s economic growth is estimated to produce about $3320 billion by 2030.

Businesses are looking to transition from tactical AI installations to scalable, enterprise-wide solutions as the use of AI keeps growing. With the help of SambaNova, AI sprawl may be consolidated into foundation models that can be trained once and applied throughout the company.

“AI is transforming industries and organizations as dramatically as the internet did,” stated Rodrigo Liang, co-founder, and CEO of SambaNova Systems. “Today’s AI innovators—the banks, energy companies, pharmaceutical companies, and national laboratories— are leaping ahead of competitors by deploying an AI ‘backbone’ that will power the next 10 years of application development and deployment. SambaNova’s solutions, deployed as-a-subscription, will enable them to scale their AI strategies faster and with minimal risk.”

Choy added “With this release, SambaNova is also offering subscription pricing for DataScale and Dataflow-as-a-Service™, enabling organizations to achieve ROI faster, reduce risk, and scale more cost-effectively than with any other AI infrastructure.”

The next generation of SambaNova DataScale offers several key enhancements:

  •         Better Performance: World record GPT training that is 6x faster to train than DGX A100 systems (GPT 13B)
  •         Next Generation Processor: An enhanced Cardinal SN30 Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit
  •         Support for the Largest Models: Terabytes of memory — 12.8x more memory capacity than DGX A100
  •         Enhanced Full Stack Support: Additional deployment automation and ease of scale capabilities
  •         Customer Value-Based Pricing: Subscription pricing now available for SambaNova DataScale

Choy added “With this release, SambaNova is also offering subscription pricing for DataScale and Dataflow-as-a-Service™, enabling organizations to achieve ROI faster, reduce risk, and scale more cost-effectively than with any other AI infrastructure.”

Few have deployed the product into their systems like the OTP group where a multi-rack AI system, built on SambaNova Dataflow-as-a-Service GPT, which is helping the company meet its ESG commitment as it is achieving the highest AI computing capability in the most energy-efficient way. Similarly, Argonne National Laboratory will be deploying the next-generation SambaNova Systems DataScale platform as part of the ALCF Al Testbed.

SambaNova will also be exhibiting at GITEX in hall 7, stand H7-D45.
