SambaNova
SambaNova operates a reconfigurable dataflow unit (RDU) inference cloud hosting Llama 3.3 70B and DeepSeek R1. Their RDU architecture uses a coarse-grained reconfigurable dataflow engine optimized for transformer attention patterns. Daily free quota is available with no credit card requirement.
Why Choose SambaNova?
SambaNova's RDU architecture uses a dataflow execution model where model weights are permanently mapped to the hardware fabric, eliminating the need for GPU memory transfers between layers. Their compiler maps attention operations to a spatially distributed dataflow graph that maximizes memory bandwidth utilization. The CS-3 system delivers 1,000+ tokens/second for Llama 3.3 70B through wafer-scale dataflow parallelism. The reconfigurable nature of the RDU allows custom operator fusion for specific model architectures.
Pricing Overview
SambaNova Llama 3.3 70B offers a daily free quota with no credit card required. API pricing is competitive at $0.69/M input/output tokens. Their platform provides OpenAI-compatible endpoints for drop-in integration. Self-hosting requires 8x H100 or equivalent GPU configurations.
