Groq
Fast, low cost AI inference that doesn't flake when things get real.
Groq provides high-speed, low-cost AI inference powered by custom silicon called the LPU (Language Processing Unit), purpose-built for inference workloads. Developers access these capabilities through GroqCloud, a globally distributed inference platform that is OpenAI API-compatible. It targets teams that need reliable, fast, and affordable AI model serving at scale.
Groq runs inference on proprietary LPU chips in data centers worldwide, accessible via a REST API that is drop-in compatible with the OpenAI SDK.
