Highlights:
- Supermicro will work with SambaNova to develop leading-edge SN50 inference racks that operate alongside NVIDIA GPUs as part of Supermicro’s Data Center Building Block Solutions® (DCBBS)
- The strategic collaboration is initially planning for 10,000 RDU chips from SambaNova
SambaNova, the AI chip company delivering the highest performance inference, today announced that Supermicro (Nasdaq: SMCI), an AI, Enterprise, Storage, and 5G/Edge Total IT Solution Provider featuring Data Center Building Block Solutions® (DCBBS), is entering into a strategic collaboration, initially planning for 10,000 SN50 RDU chips, to build and sell AI disaggregated inference systems that include RDUs and GPUs.
“Agentic AI is the next wave of inference, and it has to run everywhere,” said Rodrigo Liang, co-founder and CEO of SambaNova. “Supermicro builds AI infrastructure for data centers globally. Now customers can order SN50 RDUs alongside GPUs, from a world-leading partner they trust. That’s how fast, efficient inference gets to scale.”
Agents work nonstop, and how fast they act depends on how fast the model responds. Supermicro’s systems pair NVIDIA GPUs, which read the prompt, with SambaNova SN50 chips built to write the response quickly.
“Supermicro is committed to delivering flexible, high-performance AI infrastructure that supports the evolving requirements of our customers. Our collaboration with SambaNova expands our broad DCBBS portfolio by enabling heterogeneous architectures that integrate GPU computing with specialized inference acceleration, helping customers deploy efficient, scalable AI solutions,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro.
Built, Sold and Supported by Supermicro
Supermicro will integrate, test, deliver and support the systems for customers, including providing on-site service. SambaNova engineers will get models running and tuned on SN50 and help Supermicro with deployments. The companies will start with NeoClouds and sovereign clouds, then expand to enterprises that run AI in their own data centers.
