SambaNova SambaRack SN50 — 16-Chip Air-Cooled Rack for Agentic AI Inference

Specifications

Overview

The SambaNova SambaRack SN50 is a purpose-built, air-cooled AI rack for agentic inference. It combines sixteen fifth-generation SambaNova SN50 RDU chips in one rack, and is designed so that inference workloads can be scaled out across a dozen racks - a deployment shape aimed squarely at cloud-scale inference rather than single-node experiments.

SambaRack sits at the hardware layer of SambaNova's stack, below the SambaStack full-stack enterprise AI platform and alongside SambaCloud. The architectural proposition is the RDU's dataflow execution model, which SambaNova positions as delivering roughly four times the energy efficiency of comparable GPU-based inference infrastructure, with the practical benefit for operators being air cooling rather than a liquid loop.

For organisations building dedicated AI factories - neoclouds, sovereign AI programmes, government and public sector deployments - SambaRack offers a factory-integrated building block that can be deployed on-premises or in cloud environments with the same software stack.

Key Benefits

Air-cooled deployment. No liquid cooling loop simplifies facility requirements in retrofit data centres. Rack-scale agentic inference. Sixteen SN50 RDUs per rack with clean scale-out across a dozen racks. Full-stack software. SambaStack provides the software layer above the hardware, with on-premises or cloud deployment options. Energy efficiency focus. Positioned for substantially lower energy per token than GPU-based inference infrastructure.

Applications

Agentic AI inference services, neocloud deployments, sovereign AI programmes, government and public sector AI factories, enterprise private inference, and rack-scale model serving.
