"Artificial Analysis has independently benchmarked SambaNova as achieving record speeds of 132 output tokens per second on their Llama 3.1 405B cloud API endpoint. This is the fastest output speed available for this level of intelligence across all endpoints tracked by Artificial Analysis, exceeding the speed of the frontier models offered by OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. SambaNova’s Llama 3.1 endpoints will support speed-dependent AI use-cases, including for applications that require real-time responses or leverage agentic approaches to using language models.” George Cameron, Co-Founder at Artificial Analysis.
