What is SambaNova Cloud?
SambaNova Cloud, also called SambaCloud, is an inference API that runs large open models on SambaNova's own RDU chips. It focuses on serving big models such as DeepSeek and Llama quickly and efficiently for developers and enterprises.
The API is OpenAI-compatible and supports prompt caching, function calling and integrations with tools like Make and Vapi. A free tier gives access to smaller models for testing.
SambaNova also sells SambaStack for private deployments and announced a partnership in October 2026 to bring its chips to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Paid usage is billed per token after buying credits.
