When the team from Forbes came to our San Jose headquarters, the conversation quickly became about more than just chips. It became a discussion about the future of AI and what it actually takes to run it at scale. As AI adoption accelerates, the challenge is no longer training models, it’s inference: running models efficiently, reliably, and fast enough to power the next generation of agentic applications. As our CEO and Founder Rodrigo Liang put it:  “It's much lower power, much smaller footprint, and it's faster than anybody else. What's not to like?” And as Dharmesh Thakker General Partner of Battery Ventures explained: "The technology that SambaNova has is very complimentary to what Intel has because most AI data centers need a combination of CPUs and GPUs." A big thank you to Anton McGonnell and Vasanth Mohan for helping bring this story to life and for the thoughtful conversations throughout the day. We’re excited about what this shift means in practice, from premium inference and agentic AI to more efficient, sustainable data center infrastructure that lets enterprises deploy AI at scale, not just experiment with it. And thank you to Kirsten Taggart and the team at Forbes for spending the time with us and taking a deeper look at what we’re building. 🎥 Watch the full feature below.
