In the ever-changing world of artificial intelligence, Groq is an agent of change, acting as an innovator at the forefront of the market thanks to its disruptive approach towards accelerating inference of large language models. . While all AI companies aim to offer the same thing, Groq sets itself apart not only by its specialized hardware, but also by its intention to create a pleasant software environment, and above all, by its speed without having to have a €6,000 personal computer.

What can Groq do?

1. LLM architecture oriented:

· Groq built its machine learning processor or LPU from the ground up, specifically to run LLM.
· Unlike GPUs, the LPU is optimized for the specific computation required for ultra-efficient memory consumption.

· Instead of a traditional GPU, this LPU is optimized to work with the complex data types faced by LLMs, which, as a reminder, are text, code, and images. This speciality makes it possible for the LLM to run at high speed and use less power.

2. Enabling software platform:
