• Groq LPU (GroqChip) Hardware

  The Language Processing Unit (LPU) — Groq's own inference accelerator chip (GroqChip), deployed 256 per rack across Groq's own data centers. Not sold or licensed as standalone hardware today: access comes bundled into GroqCloud or into the dedicated regional deployments Groq itself builds and operates for governments and telecoms.
