SambaNova의 $1B 투자 유치, 엔터프라이즈 AI 칩 전쟁이 더 이상 Nvidia만의 이야기가 아님을 입증

sambanova systems secured $1 billion in a series f funding round led by general atlantic, reaching an $11 billion valuation roughly five months after its previous $350 million raise. the startup plans to use the capital to scale its supply chain to meet what ceo rodrigo liang described as an incredible wave of demand for its ai chips. concurrently, sambanova announced a major partnership with jpmorgan chase, which will deploy sambanova's sn40l and sn50 systems for on-premise ai inference. this move signals a broader shift in the enterprise market, where banks and governments are increasingly building private, secure ai infrastructure to process sensitive data without depending on public cloud giants. with customers including saudi aramco and intel, sambanova is positioning itself to capture the emerging demand for running trillion-parameter models at scale on specialized hardware.
