“We're announcing the first close, our series F is a $1 billion raise at $11 billion valuation.”
Source→“StarCloud is in active conversations with SambaNova and Cerebras about flying their chips.”
Source→“What we're able to do with premium inference is drive the performance of the largest models up. So you can actually deliver high quality models with these trillion parameter models at their full precision at incredible speeds.”

So you can actually deliver high quality models with these trillion parameter models at their full precision at incredible speeds. And when you're running faster with high accuracy models, you can charge more at a lower cost.”

“How do you actually deploy at scale so the whole planet can use it without burning up the planet, without running out of data center space, without blowing up your infrastructure cost? Because at scale, the number of chips deployed for inferencing will be orders of magnitude greater than whatever you're doing for training.”
“Rodrigo told CNBC that "JPMorgan selected SambaNova to be the inference provider for the bank."”
“"I've been in this industry for 32 years, building high performance chips for a long time. I've never seen the interest in semiconductors higher."”
“Vista Equity and Cambium announced Vector Core Compute, an agentic neocloud built on SambaNova hardware, in June 2026.”
“We just did the first close of a billion dollar fund raise at an 11 billion valuation... The round was led by General Atlantic with a number of incredible investors that came in. Seligman Ventures, T. Rowe Price, Capital Group.”
Source→“Last month, we announced this great partnership with Vista Equity and Cambium on this new NeoCloud Vector Core Compute, VC2. And what they're doing there is deploying these ultra-low latency data centers.”

Source→“Instead of a 130, 140 kilowatt rack of NVIDIA GPU, we were outperforming it with a 10 kilowatt SN40 rack.”
Source→“Armada's a partner of ours. They've been a partner for a few years now. Dan's a good friend. And yeah, they've got our racks and the same concept that if you can actually take, instead of having to put a 100 kilowatt NVIDIA rack in there, you can put a 10 kilowatt SambaNova rack and generate more tokens.”

“Investors are pouring capital into specialized AI hardware, recognizing the critical need for efficient, controlled AI processing. The market for enterprise-focused inference solutions expands rapidly.”
Source→“You look at Grok, Cerebras, Sambanova, they all sort of over-indexed to the models that were leading at the time when they designed their chips.”
Source→“SambaNova's $1B Series F at an $11B valuation reinforces this: the company "builds AI chips and inference systems that let banks, governments, and cloud providers run large language models on private infrastructure."”
“Although it is now possible to bypass closed AI labs, the underlying infrastructure remains so complex that most companies lack the expertise to assemble these pieces into a production-ready system.”
