This offers no insight into the architecture of either system or the chips they developed. Also, why would I want to access their stack and have them use my queries as training data? I see nothing from either Groq or SambaNova that says that they will distribute dedicated inference chips in any other form than full data centers. If I can't slot it into my machine, is it real? How exactly are these companies envisioni…

Both are faster than NVIDIA! Always good to see competition!
I mean that 'almost as fast as Groq' is not a compelling strategy. If it's almost as fast, why not just go with Groq? Are they going for cheaper? Added services? I'm just wondering.
Groq are trying to launch their own cloud and running it at a loss to try to acquire users are raise venture capital so they can tape out a new chip (their current chip just is not very competitive, they get speed for having a good interconnect, but it is so cost ineffective). SambaNova sell systems to big companies and service providers, and don’t have a paid cloud API, so aren’t as visible as Groq. But SambaNova make real revenue whilst Groq have literally zero revenue, which is why they struggle to raise money.
Very soon people will realize that Groq are frauds and SambaNova is the legit challenger to Nvidia.
