SambaNova Lightning Fast AI Hackathon - Extended to November 22nd!

Hey Hackers,

 

Great news! We're excited to announce that the SambaNova Lightning Fast AI Hackathon has been extended until November 22nd. This extension gives you more time to unleash your creativity and build cutting-edge AI agents using SambaNova Cloud's lightning-fast inference speeds.

 

Platform Updates

 

On Llama 3.1 8B and 70B, we have released improved context lengths. Up to 16K context length on the 8B model and 64k on 70B! For a full list of models, refer to our documentation page.

 

We also recently launched Llama 3.1 11B and 90B with Vision. These models are capable of analyzing images in addition to responding to text prompts and are now available on the platform running at extremely fast inference speeds. Simply pass a URL to the image you would like processed to get started using the API.
