Groq is Fast AI Inference

Delivering Fast AI Inference with the LPU

The Groq Language Processing Unit, the LPU, is the technology that meets this moment. The LPU delivers instant speed, unparalleled affordability, and energy efficiency at scale. Fundamentally different from the GPU – originally designed for graphics processing – the LPU was designed for AI inference and language.
