Groq is an American AI inference hardware company founded by Jonathan Ross, a former Google engineer who led the development of Google's Tensor Processing Unit (TPU). The company is headquartered in Mountain View, California with additional facilities in San Jose and Liberty Lake, Washington. Groq designed the Language Processing Unit (LPU), a custom AI accelerator chip that delivers up to 18x faster inference than traditional GPUs for language models. In December, Groq entered a non-exclusive technology licensing agreement with Nvidia reportedly valued at $20 billion, after which founder Ross and president Sunny Madra joined Nvidia. Groq continues to operate independently under CEO Simon Edwards. The company has raised $2.4 billion in total funding across 7 rounds and operates the GroqCloud platform serving over 356,000 developers. Revenue reached $500 million.
