Read the full articleNvidia to license AI chip challenger Groq’s tech and hire its CEO on TechCrunch
↗What Happened
With Groq on its side, Nvidia is poised to become even more dominant in chip manufacturing.
Our Take
Nvidia just did what it always does - can't kill the upstart, so buy their tech and their founder. Groq was genuinely disruptive on inference speed, but they couldn't dethrone Nvidia's ecosystem.
Now Nvidia gets to integrate Groq's architecture, hire the talent, and neuter a competitor in one move. For us, chip supply anxiety is overblown.
The real question: what does Groq's architecture add to Cuda that actually matters for our inference costs?
What To Do
Assume Groq gets absorbed into Nvidia's roadmap—don't bet on it as an independent alternative.
