A per-model winner combines blended price and estimated 500-token response time with equal proportional weight. Ties and rows missing either measurement receive no badge. Comparison data calculated . Values use one deterministic route per provider and model; missing measurements remain visible as N/a.
Groq vs SambaNova analysis
How Groq and SambaNova compare for AI inference
Groq and SambaNova share 3 indexed text models, including MiniMax M2.7, gpt-oss-120b, Llama 3.3 70B Instruct. Groq has the stronger typical response-time result on the directly measured set.
Same-model speed evidence
3 shared models currently have complete response-start and output-speed measurements on both providers. The speed comparison uses per-model ratios before taking the median, so naturally faster model catalogs do not improve the result.
Token pricing on one workload
3 shared models have complete input and output prices on both providers. Prices use the same 1,000-input/500-output-token mix and are normalized to one million tokens for readability.
Catalog and deployment differences
Groq has 11 indexed models and lists no published server regions; SambaNova has 6 models and lists no regions. Verify data residency, privacy terms, limits, and production latency directly before choosing.
