Today, Cirrascale Cloud Services is pleased to announce our partnership with SambaNova Systems in offering the SambaNova Dataflow-as-a-Service™ model as part of the Cirrascale AI Innovation Cloud. The service is available now as part of the Cirrascale AI Innovation Platform.

SambaNova Dataflow-as-a-Service delivers the most powerful integrated platform for the deployment of state-of-the-art deep learning and Foundation Models.  Powered by an AI infrastructure purpose-built for deep learning and Foundation Model workloads, and with out-of-the-box pre-trained models, Dataflow-as-a-Service enables organizations to accelerate time to value by 22x.

No matter what their size, companies can now gain access to SambaNova Dataflow-as-a-Service utilizing the Cirrascale AI Innovation Cloud. This enables customers from industries ranging from financial services, energy, healthcare, government, and more, to quickly and easily integrate SambaNova AI solutions into their cloud-first deployments. Customers can now rapidly deploy SambaNova AI services for Natural Language Processing (NLP), true resolution computer vision, and recommendation without deploying on-premises infrastructure. This offering now allows customers to address the ever-present human capital shortage experienced in recent years with data scientists and artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning personnel.

Overall, the performance, accuracy, scale, and ease of use of the solution are quite impressive. Powered by the Cardinal SN30 Reconfigurable Data Unit (RDU), SambaNova claims a 6x speedup (on certain AI workloads) relative to a comparable system powered by NVIDIA A100™ GPUs, and it sports 12.8x more memory capacity than an NVIDIA DGX A100.

Adding this powerhouse of a solution to the Cirrascale Cloud Services AI Innovation Cloud is a win for the overall democratization of AI. SambaNova’s Dataflow-as-a-Service offering stands ready to rapidly deploy pre-trained Foundation Models to deliver the greatest value for enterprises and organizations in our cloud. As always, we hope your company is as excited about this partnership as we are.
