Groq

The fastest AI inference on the planet

About Groq

Groq is not just a software company; it is a hardware revolution. They developed the LPU (Language Processing Unit), a new type of chip designed specifically for running Large Language Models (LLMs) at lightning speeds. While traditional GPUs are great for *training* AI, Groq's LPUs are optimized for *inference*, delivering responses at over 500 tokens per second—nearly instant. This speed unlocks new use cases for AI, such as real-time voice conversations that feel natural (no awkward pauses) and complex coding agents that can iterate through hundreds of files in seconds. Developers use Groq's API to build apps that require "speed-of-thought" latency. By solving the bottleneck of compute speed, Groq is making AI feel less like a tool and more like an extension of the human mind.
