Groq is a US-based company that offers the LPU (Language Processing Unit), a chip purpose-built for AI inference, along with its GroqCloud platform. The LPU relies on large on-chip SRAM instead of external memory, deterministic statically-scheduled execution, and a custom compiler stack to achieve low latency and high throughput for language model inference. The hardware is provided via GroqCloud (pay-per-token API) and GroqRack clusters for on-premise deployment; in December 2025 Groq also announced a multibillion-dollar non-exclusive licensing agreement with Nvidia for its LPU technology.
