Groq

The Groq LPU delivers inference with the speed and cost developers need

Groq runs an inference cloud for developers who need fast, low-cost execution of AI models. The company pioneered the LPU in 2016, a chip built specifically for inference rather than training, and its site frames inference as the bottleneck as AI workloads grow. Its newer LPX approach works alongside NVIDIA GPUs, and the company says it is building hundreds of megawatts of capacity with more on the way.

The platform is described as one fully integrated offering for infrastructure, inference and control, with millions of developers running trillions of tokens on it each week. The directory files Groq under Automation with an AI agents tag, reflecting its role as the engine behind agent tasks rather than an end-user app.

The site excerpt does not show pricing details, though the directory lists a freemium model. Head to the platform section and start building on it to see how the LPU handles your workloads.
