## Was the SambaNova API down on August 24, 2026?

Not attributably. 1 multi-region failure(s) of SambaNova coincided with failures of other providers, so the cause sat above SambaNova and is not blamed on it. SambaNova's status page lists nothing that day.

| UTC | What failed | Regions | Duration (lower bound) | Failed probes | Verdict |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 17:45-17:53 | host probes | eu-hetzner sa-east | >=8 min | 2 | unattributed |
