A new AI model has garnered significant social media attention with its lightning-fast response speed and innovative technology that could potentially challenge Elon Musk’s Grok and ChatGPT.
Groq, the latest AI tool to make waves in the industry, has quickly gained attention after its public benchmark tests went viral on the popular social media platform X.
Many users have shared videos of Groq’s remarkable performance, showcasing its computational prowess that outperforms the well-known AI chatbot ChatGPT.

What sets Groq apart is its team’s development of a custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chip designed specifically for large language models (LLMs).
This powerful chip enables Groq to generate an impressive 500 tokens per second, while the publicly available version of ChatGPT, known as ChatGPT-3.5, lags behind at a mere 40 tokens per second.
Groq Inc, the company behind this AI marvel, claims to have achieved a groundbreaking milestone by creating the first-ever language processing unit (LPU), which serves as the engine that drives Groq’s model.
Unlike traditional AI models that heavily rely on graphics processing units (GPUs), which are both scarce and expensive, Groq’s LPU offers an alternative solution with unmatched speed and efficiency.
Wow, that's a lot of tweets tonight! FAQs responses.
• We're faster because we designed our chip & systems
• It's an LPU, Language Processing Unit (not a GPU)
• We use open-source models, but we don't train them
• We are increasing access capacity weekly, stay tuned
