AI hardware and software vendor SambaNova Systems has a new AI chip: the SN40L. Introduced on Tuesday, SN40L will power SambaNova's full-stack large language model platform, the SambaNova Suite, which the vendor introduced in March.

SN40L was manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) for SambaNova. It can serve up to a 5 trillion parameter LLM with 256K+ sequence length possible on a single system node, according to the vendor.
