# SambaNova

> Use SambaNova models with Agno agents.

SambaNova is a platform for providing endpoints for large language models. Note that SambaNova currently does not support function calling.

## Authentication

Set your `SAMBANOVA_API_KEY` environment variable. Get your key from [here](https://cloud.sambanova.ai/apis).

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Mac theme={null}
  export SAMBANOVA_API_KEY=***
  ```

  ```bash Windows theme={null}
  setx SAMBANOVA_API_KEY ***
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Example

Install the `openai` package:

```shell theme={null}
uv pip install -U agno openai
```

Use `Sambanova` with your `Agent`:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python agent.py theme={null}
  from agno.agent import Agent
  from agno.models.sambanova import Sambanova

  agent = Agent(model=Sambanova(), markdown=True)

  # Print the response in the terminal
  agent.print_response("Share a 2 sentence horror story.")

  ```
</CodeGroup>
