National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource Pilot & SambaNova

Use Cases

Generative AI represents one of the most transformative shifts in the scientific discovery process in recent years. This technology holds the promise of serving as a comprehensive science assistant capable of aiding in the formulation of plausible hypotheses, streamlining the design of experiments, autonomously conducting experiments, analyzing outcomes, and even drafting research papers.

SambaNova is at the forefront of this revolution, providing researchers with a suite of capabilities to harness the potential of Generative AI by enabling projects to:

Design reasoning and multi-turn inference applications
Formulate experiments that leverage advanced capabilities including function calling to external tools and agents, audio transcription, or image interpretation
Compare and evaluate model capabilities for science domain usage
Develop scientific and multimodal knowledge retrieval systems

SambaCloud

Advance your research using leading open-source LLM and multimodal models such as Llama, DeepSeek, Tulu, and Qwen families.

High-performance model inference, up to 10x faster than GPU clouds
Browser-based playground and OpenAI-compatible API
AI Starter Kits and source code for app development
User training and support for your project

After NAIRR approval is received, researchers will create a SambaCloud account and SambaNova will provide cloud credits to draw upon.

SambaStack

In addition to a larger model catalog, there is support for custom checkpoints or fine-tuning models with project datasets with greater demands.

Bring your data and fine-tune models from our supported model types
Load compatible checkpoints from outside sources
Manage a unique catalog of models for project needs
User training and support for your project

After NAIRR approval is received, access will be provided to a system hosted in our secure environment. The pool of resources available for this service is limited.

InvestIQ

InvestIQ is a financial insights platform designed to empower beginners and non-technical investors in navigating the complexities of the stock market. By leveraging SambaNova, InvestIQ simplifies investment education and algorithmic trading, allowing users to create, test, and refine trading strategies without needing coding skills.

Eveplora

Eveplora built a visualizer for over 50,000 students who need to keep up to date on the latest hackathons happening around the world across various platforms. Using SambaNova Cloud, they are able to analyze various postings and provide the key insights to students.

Pokemon NPC

The Pokémon NPC Companion is an AI Assistant and Agent that not only helps you play the game but also battles players in the battle simulator. SambaNova Cloud’s speed and multiple models allows the Agent to respond in near-real time with much more accurate responses.

BlackBox.AI

BlackBox helps developers build coding agents that are customized to their challenges. Using SambaNova Cloud, BlackBox helps their customers even faster as they chain multiple models together to serve their developers.

Food Spotlight

Food Spotlight is an AI-powered mobile application designed to empower consumers by simplifying the complexities of food labels. Using SambaNova Cloud, the project is able to analyze ingredients using Llama 3.2 Vision and chain that together with other models to provide personalized insights.

Observe AI

Managing and observing infrastructure across multiple different Cloud platforms can prove to be quite challenging without the tooling. Using SambaNova Cloud, Observe AI is able to aggregate reports and logs from different providers and analyze them using various different Llama models chained together in order to provide accurate insights.
