Groq

Groq is an AI infrastructure company that has developed the Language Processing Unit (LPU), a new type of processor architecture designed specifically for machine learning inference. Unlike traditional GPUs, the LPU is optimized for sequential processing, enabling near-instantaneous text generation and model responses.

Developers can use GroqCloud to run open-source models like Llama and Mixtral at unprecedented speeds. The platform provides an OpenAI-compatible API, making it easy to swap into existing applications to drastically reduce latency.

Refined for real-time AI applications, Groq offers low-cost, high-throughput inference. It is particularly valuable for use cases requiring immediate interactivity, such as voice agents, coding assistants, and real-time chatbots.
