Thank you @ClayMagouyrk for the shoutout at the Oracle AI World stage this morning!
We’re proud to bring fast, high-performance AI inference to @Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
More on our partnership below ⬇️

LIVE from Oracle AI World!
SambaNova and @Oracle are collaborating to bring high-performance inference to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
“Our customers want the right infrastructure for every AI workload, and inference demand is growing fast. We plan to bring SambaNova’s RDU chips to OCI to give AI builders a high-performance, efficient way to run models at scale.” — @MThiagarajan_, President, OCI.

Proud to be involved with CASPA over last 15 years!
Some snaps from the weekend at CASPA!
@RodrigoLiang joined fellow CEOs @NaveenGRao, @unconvAI & @FarisSbahi, @NormalComputing for a panel moderated by @chernandburn, @Reuters. It was an incredible weekend full of insights from some of the most brilliant leaders of the world. Thanks to the CASPA team for bringing everyone together!

One big takeaway from @hotchipsorg: agents are changing the inference game.
More reasoning + more tool calls = a LOT more tokens. And across six frontier-model configs, decode made up 75–97% of inference time.
So bandwidth & data movement matter. A fast chip is great. A fast system is better.

Our mixer after this week's Hot Chips was a good time, so we're doing it again!
After AI Infra Summit, swing by the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara so you can meet the team, grab drinks, enjoy some food, and learn more about our open roles.

As models get smarter and agentic workloads get more demanding, users expect both intelligence and speed.
That’s why inference speed is becoming part of the AI experience, not just an infrastructure metric.
Premium inference is here. ⚡

Super excited!
Our squad just keeps getting stronger. 🦾 @mmoazami is joining SambaNova as Vice Chair of Global Strategy & Partnerships, reporting to @RodrigoLiang.
Mohsen has supported some of the world's hottest technology companies, enabling global expansion, forging strategic relationships, and navigating major industry shifts.
Welcome to SambaNova, Mohsen!

Great to chat @jonfortt!
“How do we solve the scaling problems as AI becomes a global problem?” — @RodrigoLiang
Thank you to @JonFortt for having our CEO on @CNBC Fortt Knox to discuss why enterprises are bringing AI on-prem and why we're the only proven premium AI chip inference.
We appreciate the chance to share our mission! 🚀

My latest Bloomberg Interview, where I talked about AI technologies coming from China, including Kimi K3, and 01.ai's TrueNorth and Boss AI. bloomberg.com/news/videos/20…
Great to see so many companies get behind open weights. Open models widen access, force competition, and let organizations own what they build instead of renting it back forever. Next comes performance: full precision, fast, at scale. The whole ecosystem gets stronger for it.
For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

AI training made GPUs the standard. AI inference is changing the equation. As Abhi shared with @FierceNetwork, minimizing data movement is the key to faster, more efficient inference—and our RDUs are purpose-built to deliver enterprise AI without requiring entirely new data centers.
Thanks to @DiaMariesbeat for the coverage!

Thank you for the chat @MollySOShea!

Same prompt. Same model. Two stacks.
At #Computex, we demonstrated disaggregated inference live: GPUs handling prefill, SambaNova RDUs handling decode, and CPUs orchestrating agent execution.
The result? Up to 2X the speed of B200-only configurations 🦾

Co-founder @sarahookr on stage at @brainstormtech with @SambaNovaAI CEO @RodrigoLiang and @FortuneMagazine's @jeremyakahn.
The discussion: Chips not built for inference and models that don’t learn continuously.
Two CEOs, two sides of the same problem. A new era of intelligence is here.
Here is what happens inside Sambanova RDU.
What actually happens during AI inference?
This video breaks down how RDUs, memory architecture, and multi-level parallelism work together to generate thousands of tokens in parallel across racks.
Built for scalable, real-world AI inference 🦾

"VC2 is the largest commercial deployment of SambaNova technology in our history, and we're proud to partner with the industry's strongest leaders." - @LipBuTan1
Excited to see @vectorcorecomp launch live w/ our RDUs powering decode alongside GPUs & CPUs.

At @LipBuTan1's #COMPUTEX2026 keynote today, @RodrigoLiang stepped onstage with @RFS_Vista to power up the world's first disaggregated inference cloud, VectorCore Compute (VC2), launched by @Vista_Equity and Cambium Capital.
Three chips ran disaggregated inference, live from the VC2 datacenter in LA:
➡️ NVIDIA B200 GPUs — prefill, high-compute burst
➡️ SambaNova RDUs — decode, high-throughput, low-latency token generation at scale
➡️ Intel® Xeon® 6 CPUs — tool execution, end-to-end orchestration
“GPUs are powerful. RDUs are fast. CPUs orchestrate. But disaggregate all three — and you get speed, performance, and economics no single chip can touch. That's the unlock.” – @RodrigoLiang

The future of inference is disaggregated.
At #COMPUTEX2026, Vector Core Compute unveiled the world's first fully disaggregated inference cloud powered by Intel Xeon and SambaNova RDUs—designed for the scale, speed, and economics modern AI demands.
Excited to help bring this vision to life with @Vista_Equity and Cambium Capital.
