Groq
Ultra-fast LLM inference on custom LPU silicon
Overview
Groq runs LLM inference on its custom LPU (Language Processing Unit) silicon — delivering 10–18x faster token-generation than GPUs at competitive cost. The GroqCloud API offers Llama, Mixtral, Gemma and other open-weights models at industry-leading throughput. Popular with latency-sensitive applications.

Groq is not a chatbot but an inference provider built on custom LPU hardware, delivering some of the lowest-latency, highest-throughput token generation on the market through GroqCloud. It is excellent for latency-sensitive applications, voice agents, and real-time pipelines, with an OpenAI-compatible API that makes migration trivial and competitive per-token pricing. Developers consistently rate the speed as a genuine step-change.
The trade-off is model selection: you run open-weight models Groq hosts (Llama, Mixtral, Qwen and similar), not proprietary frontier models, so raw capability is bounded by what is available. It is infrastructure, so non-developers get little from it directly. Good docs and SDKs. Cloud-based and globally reachable from ASEAN, though no regional data residency.
