## Resource

AI’s biggest bottleneck has shifted from training models to serving them at massive scale. In this condensed recap of Sourcery, host Molly O'Shea speaks with SambaNova CEO Rodrigo Liang about the company’s $2.5B raise, $11B valuation, and why inference is becoming the next evolution of computing. This summary distills the key ideas from the full episode into a faster listen, highlighting how SambaNova’s SN40 system changes the economics of AI infrastructure, from power-hungry GPU racks to efficient, high-performance deployment. You’ll learn why latency, accuracy, and speed are now central to enterprise AI, how heterogeneous data centers and edge computing are reshaping global infrastructure, and why Europe’s data-sovereignty concerns matter. Liang also explains how companies can use proprietary data and custom models to build real differentiation in the AI race. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
