The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

You can actually, we can have that.

So you have your own kind of dedicated cloud.

The Neuron: AI Explained

You can white label it.

You can do what you want with it.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

And we will kind of manage it for you.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

And you can have that same, you can have that same configuration, but you can host it on premises.

The Neuron: AI Explained

as well now why that's super interesting is because one of the key things that we found is that there's a lot of you know like data centers and folks who want to get into the ai business right they're like oh how do we how do we do something with this power that we've got right well how do we do something with that and some might be at the stage where they say oh you know we want to be we want to um

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

We want to get involved, but currently we can't use enough power or our specifications don't work.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

Or we might have too low a power draw for some of the other providers, so it won't be able to power our thing.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

So again, we're a good fit there.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

And what we're also seeing is, we've been talking to a few customers in this space, is where you have very niche edge requirements, that...

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

our power draw is a real big factor because then it's like, oh, hey, we've got this kind of old thing that we couldn't do anything with.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

And now suddenly we can deploy AI.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

So it's almost like AI on the edge in these weird scenarios where you wouldn't be able to put other traditional racks and things like that.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

So that's a super exciting product.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

But I would say those are probably the two ways that people kind of work with SambaNoda.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

Yeah, so I think for us, we kind of think about it in a couple of stages, right?

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

So the first thing is around agents use a phenomenal amount of tokens.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

So that's the first thing they use.

The Neuron: AI Explained

10 to 20x amount of tokens.
