GITEX 2021: SambaNova launches first enterprise grade GPT AI-powered language model

The company adds GPT language model to its Dataflow-as-a-Service offering, enabling greater enterprise adoption of AI language models

SambaNova Systems, known for its advanced software, hardware and services to run AI applications, used the GITEX Technology Week platform to announce the availability of the company’s Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) language model.

This is included in SambaNova’s Dataflow-as-a-Service for language — increasing the capability of its Natural Language Processing (NLP) model with unmatched speed and accuracy, and equalising opportunity for enterprises to jump-start AI language applications overnight.

“Enterprises are insistent about exploring AI usage for text and language purposes, but up until now it hasn’t been accessible or easy to deploy at scale,” said Rodrigo Liang, CEO and co-founder of SambaNova. “By offering GPT models as a subscription service we are simplifying the process and broadening accessibility to the industry’s most advanced language models in a fraction of the time. We are arming businesses to compete with the early adopters of AI.”

“The AI market is expected to break the $200 billion mark by 2025, and Natural Language Processing represents a significant portion of this,” said Matt Eastwood, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Infrastructure, Cloud, Developers and Alliances of IDC. “SambaNova Dataflow-as-a-Service GPT is the first enterprise grade AI offering of its kind to address this market opportunity.”

SambaNova’s Dataflow-as-a-Service for language now with GPT introduces a full suite of Natural Language Processing for production and deployment of language models. The language model uses deep learning to produce human-like text leveraging large amounts of data, and is the first enterprise-grade large AI language model and services offering on the market designed for the most mission-critical text- and document-based use cases.

“Customers face many challenges with implementing large language models including the complexity and cost,” said R ‘Ray’ Wang, founder and principal analyst of Constellation Research. “Leading companies seek to make AI more accessible by bringing unique large language model capabilities and automating out the need for expertise in ML models and infrastructure.”

SambaNova’s low-code API interface enables enterprises to easily deploy NLP solutions at scale. Its GPT is faster to deploy, easier to use and delivers quicker time to value, reducing costs. Organisations can be up and running with a customised language model with unmatched market accuracy in as fast as one month as opposed to nine months or a year. SambaNova eliminates model and infrastructure hassles for machine learning engineering teams by maintaining and training models for accuracy.

Use cases for SambaNova’s Dataflow-as-a-Service GPT include:

Sentiment analysis: Enable enterprises to save costs and time while implementing the most accurate sentiment analysis in scenarios such as customer support and feedback, brand monitoring and reputation management.

Document classification: Enable solutions such as sorting articles or texts and routing them to relevant teams.

Information extraction: Enable enterprises to save time and money by more accurately extracting information from invoices, electronic health records, financial documents and others.

SambaNova’s flagship offering, DataFlow-as-a-Service, is an extensible AI services platform, enables organizations to jump-start AI initiatives overnight by augmenting existing capabilities and staffing with a simple subscription.

With AI becoming a business necessity in the global economy, customers need complete solutions that can run at scale in a financially viable way. With an integrated full-stack system, including best-in-class AI models, software and hardware, SambaNova provides the most expansive, accessible and impactful AI applications in the world.
