SambaNova CEO Liang on Powering AI Efficiently

“The world’s now flipped to inference — and it’s limited by power. With the same energy, we can deliver four times the output of a Blackwell,” says SambaNova CEO Rodrigo Liang. Liang joins Bloomberg Intelligence’s Kunjan Sobhani in this episode of the Tech Disruptors podcast to explain how SambaNova’s air-cooled, 10-kilowatt racks and “data-center-in-90-days” model are helping enterprises and governments scale up AI faster — and greener. The discussion covers the rise of sovereign-AI deployments in the UK, Europe and Australia, the economics of hybrid data centers and why energy efficiency — not just compute power — might define the next phase of AI infrastructure.
