NEW: Everyone is talking about NVIDIA’s jaw-dropping earnings results — up a whopping 265% from a year ago. But don’t sleep on Groq, the Silicon Valley-based company creating new AI chips for large language model (LLM) inference (making decisions or predictions on existing models, as opposed to training). Last weekend, Groq suddenly enjoyed a viral moment most startups just dream of. 

Sure, it wasn’t as big a social media splash as even one of Elon Musk’s posts about the totally unrelated large language model Grok. But I’m certain the folks at Nvidia took notice after Matt Shumer, CEO of HyperWrite (OthersideAI), posted on X about Groq’s “wild tech” that is “serving Mixtral at nearly 500 tok/s” with answers that are “pretty much instantaneous.” 

Shumer followed up on X with a public demo of a “lightning-fast answers engine” showing “factual, cited answers with hundreds of words in less than a second” —and suddenly it seemed like everyone in AI was talking about and trying out Groq’s chat app on its website, where users can choose from output served up by Llama and Mistral LLMs.

While no company can challenge Nvidia dominance right now — Nvidia enjoys over 80% of the high-end chip market; other AI chip startups like SambaNova and Cerebras have yet to make much headway, even with AI inference; Nvidia just reported $22 billion in 4th quarter revenue — Groq CEO and founder Jonathan Ross told me in an interview that the eye-watering costs of inference make his startup’s offering a “super-fast,” cheaper option specifically for LLM use.

In a bold claim, Ross told me that “we are probably going to be the infrastructure that most startups are using by the end of the year,” adding that “we are very favorable towards startups — reach out and we’ll make sure that you’re not paying as much as you would elsewhere.”
