# SambaNova Cloud

SambaNova Cloud provides ultra-fast inference for large AI models using SambaNova's custom reconfigurable dataflow processors, delivering exceptional speed for running Llama 3.1 405B and other frontier open-source models. Purpose-built AI hardware enables SambaNova to offer inference at speeds and costs that GPU clusters cannot match for large models, making previously impractical 400B+ parameter models accessible for production applications. The platform offers an OpenAI-compatible API with simple token-based pricing and enterprise SLAs for reliability.
