📝 About Groq

Groq is revolutionizing AI inference with its custom LPU (Language Processing Unit) chip architecture that delivers deterministic, ultra-low-latency performance. Unlike GPU-based solutions, Groq's LPU is purpose-built for inference, achieving ~500 tokens/second. LPX architecture enables next-gen LPU + GPU hybrid inference. GroqCloud developer platform provides instant access to models (Llama, Mistral, Gemma). $650M raised in 2026 to scale inference cloud globally. Hundreds of megawatts of capacity under deployment.
