AI Chips for Blazing Fast Inference: Meet SambaNova's RDU

Reconfigurable Dataflow Units (RDUs) — purpose-built for Al

RDUs are the only solution that run the largest AI models on a  single system with blazing fast perfomance

Delivering fast & energy efficient Al inference

Our fourth-generation RDU, the SN40L, is designed to deliver extraordinary performance. Uniquely capable of powering the most demanding workloads, the SN40L does it all with the highest efficiency rate.

Seamlessly achieve high performance

From chips to racks

The combination of 16 SN40L RDUs creates a single, high-performance rack that can run the largest models, such as DeepSeek R1 671B and Llama 4 Maverick, with the fast inference. These racks can be seamlessly integrated into any existing air-cooled data center.
