SambaNova Systems is an American artificial intelligence company founded in 2017 by Stanford professors Kunle Olukotun and Christopher Re together with former Oracle executive Rodrigo Liang. It designs the Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit, a processor whose datapath is configured to match a model's computation graph rather than executing fixed instructions, and pairs it with a three-tier memory system that keeps very large models resident. Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, the company sells complete systems and a hosted cloud service to enterprises and governments that want to run frontier open models on their own terms rather than through a public model provider.
