Groq is the AI inference provider powering its proprietary Language Processing Unit (LPU) chips, delivering the fastest available inference speeds for popular open-source LLMs — achieving sub-100ms response latency that makes AI interactions feel instantaneous. Available through the GroqCloud API, it serves Llama, Mixtral, Gemma, and other models at speeds 5-10x faster than GPU-based competitors. Developers building voice AI applications, real-time coding assistants, and latency-sensitive AI products choose Groq when response speed is the dominant requirement, as its LPU architecture is purpose-built to maximize inference throughput in ways GPU clusters cannot match.
