SambaNova

Use SambaNova AI in Make to accelerate workflow automations with generative AI. The SambaNova AI app for Make includes three modules that enable: • Text chat completions • Function calling • Image understanding • Audio transcription and translation • Text embeddings for retrieval and RAG workflows These modules allow Make workflows to call SambaNova APIs directly, connecting open-source AI models with thousands of apps and real-world automation use cases.

In this episode, we tackle the "Holy Grail" of current markets: LLM inference at data center scale. Recorded as a technical time capsule just before the news of NVIDIA’s acquisition of Groq broke on Christmas Eve 2025, we dive into the architectural reality of the Groqchip 1 and its 230MB of on-chip SRAM. The conversation explores the polarizing "bet" being made by Etched with their transformer-only Sohu ASIC, the enterprise-grade CGRA approach from SambaNova, and the stealthy "FPGA wizards" at Positron who are already claiming to outperform Hopper systems with high-utilization Intel silicon.
