What it does
Groq describes itself as a neocloud for fast inference. Its homepage argues that inference, the stage where AI does customer-facing work and completes agent tasks, becomes more of a bottleneck as people ask more of AI, and it presents Groq as built for that. The company says it pioneered the LPU and that its LPX system is used together with NVIDIA's next-generation GPUs. It says it is adding capacity measured in hundreds of megawatts, with more planned, and that speed and affordability no longer have to be traded against each other. The homepage has little product detail beyond this. It links to a Platform page, a blog and a Start building button that leads to the Groq console, but its text does not list models, API details or prices.
