About
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.
Problem
GPU-based AI inference is too slow and expensive for production workloads that require real-time performance.
For
developers and AI teams needing fast, affordable LLM inference
How it works
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.
