SambaNova offers 10 models through Lava's AI Gateway, supporting Chat Completions. Authentication uses `Authorization: Bearer`. See the [SambaNova API docs](https://docs.sambanova.ai) for provider-specific parameters.

<Info>Supports both **managed** (Lava's API keys) and **unmanaged** (bring your own credentials) mode.</Info>

  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
