SambaNova API and Dome

1. 01

   Add the connection

   The provider id is sambanova. Dome uses https://api.sambanova.ai/v1 and SambaNova's own model ids.

   $ dome models add deepseek-sambanova \
     --provider sambanova \
     --model DeepSeek-V3.1 \
     --api-key "$SAMBANOVA_API_KEY" \
     --attributes '{"stage":"production"}' \
     --gateway prod-gateway

2. 02

   Pool it with Fireworks AI

   Add accounts/fireworks/models/deepseek-v3p1 as a second connection, ranked after SambaNova.

   $ dome models pool create deepseek-v3.1 \
     --failover-max all --gateway prod-gateway
    
   $ dome models pool member add deepseek-v3.1 deepseek-sambanova --priority 0
   $ dome models pool member add deepseek-v3.1 deepseek-fireworks --priority 1

   Point your agent at the Gateway

   OpenAI-compatible code needs a new base URL and the agent's Dome key. Nothing else changes.

   from openai import OpenAI
    
   client = OpenAI(base_url=f"{GATEWAY_URL}/v1", api_key=DOME_AGENT_KEY)
   client.chat.completions.create(
       model="deepseek-v3.1",
       messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Answer this customer's billing question."}],
   )

Commands and rules tested against a Dome workspace on October 1, 2026. For anything about SambaNova itself, see SambaNova's documentation.

forbid (principal, action == Dome::Action::"llm:invoke", resource is Dome::LLMModel)
when { resource has stage && resource.stage == "preview" };
