Groq is Literally Built Different
Groq was established in 2016 for one thing: inference
We built our own chip—the LPU—because GPUs weren’t designed for the job. That hardware powers GroqCloud™—a full-stack platform that cuts out the middleman – letting you scale fast, without compromise.
The LPU is the cartridge. GroqCloud is the console.
Devs trust GroqCloud for inference that stays smart, fast and affordable.
