In today's fast-paced business landscape, enterprises need more than just the latest AI model to solve their biggest challenges. They need a platform optimized for speed, efficiency, and accuracy. With our platform and many expert models fine-tuned on their data, enterprises can improve customer satisfaction and employee experience. According to a recent Gartner survey, these are the top two AI use cases on the minds of CEOs.

Breaking Records with Llama 3.1 405B

Just last week, Meta released its biggest open-source model to date, Llama 3.1 405B, comparable in quality to OpenAI’s GPT-4o.

Today, we’ve set a world performance record of 114 tokens per second on this model, independently verified by Artificial Analysis. This was accomplished on a single 16-socket node and delivered with full 16-bit precision. No other platform has achieved this speed with this accuracy to date. It’s a testament to SambaNova's commitment to solving the most pressing AI problems facing enterprises today.

"Artificial Analysis has independently benchmarked SambaNova as serving Meta's Llama 3.1 Instruct 405B model at 114 tokens per second, the fastest of any provider we have benchmarked and over 4 times faster than the median provider. Llama 3.1 delivers leading quality but is large at 405B parameters and is therefore slow on GPU systems. SambaNova's leading speed, delivered on its custom RDU chips, lessens this trade off between quality, size and speed and supports Llama 3.1 405B being used in more speed sensitive use-cases, such as consumer applications, customer support, AI Agents, and many others. " - George Cameron, Co-Founder, Artificial Analysis

What does this mean? Enterprises can now deploy their own private GPT on our platform with SambaNova Suite. And thanks to our fourth-generation RDU chip, the SN40L, they can achieve real-time results that were previously impossible with slower, less efficient solutions.

Unlocking Real-Time Enterprise AI

The speed of our platform unlocks the ability to chain multiple prompts together in real-time with GPT quality, unlike any other platform. This now enables a new set of enterprise use cases that we are seeing deployed today, including:

  • Intelligent Document Processing: Unstructured Documents and PDFs can be processed and analyzed efficiently at scale for knowledge management - accurately extracting valuable insights in real-time. This capability revolutionizes how organizations handle documentation, making it easier for employees to organize, retrieve, and keep information up to date.
  • Real-time GPT Copilots: AI copilots enhance the process of making business decisions by providing instant, actionable insights. In areas like customer support, data analysis, and internal reporting, a real-time copilot can pull data from multiple sources like CRMs and Knowledge Bases, summarize it, and help leaders make more informed decisions, improving productivity and satisfaction and overall business results.
  • Explainable AI: Faster speeds allow a system of AI models to enhance its chain of thought and improve explainability. This means AI systems can provide more transparent and accurate explanations for their decisions and actions with a real-time response. Explainable AI is crucial for building trust and accountability in AI applications, ensuring that users understand and can rely on AI-driven insights and recommendations.
  • Agentic AI Automation: With GPT level accuracy and faster speeds, enterprises can deploy agentic AI to automate complex tasks and processes, transforming their operations and unlocking new levels of efficiency, productivity, and customer satisfaction. For instance, agentic AI can be used to predict and prevent equipment failures, detect and respond to cybersecurity threats in real-time, or optimize supply chain logistics to minimize delays and reduce costs. By leveraging agentic AI automation, businesses can reduce operational costs, improve productivity, and provide superior customer and employee experiences.
