Groq builds custom LPU (Language Processing Unit) chips that deliver the fastest LLM inference available. Llama and Mistral models run at 500+ tokens/second — 10-20x faster than GPU-based providers.
Reviewer scorecard
“The serverless standard. Event sources, layers, and container image support cover every use case.”
“The speed is mind-blowing. 500+ tokens/sec makes LLM responses feel instant. For latency-sensitive applications — autocomplete, real-time chat — nothing else comes close.”
“Cold starts have improved dramatically. For event-driven workloads, Lambda's pricing model is unbeatable.”
“Speed is real but model selection is limited to open-source. No GPT or Claude. For apps that need the best model, you still need OpenAI/Anthropic. For speed-first use cases, Groq wins.”
“Serverless is the default compute model. Lambda's ecosystem and AWS integration ensure its dominance.”
“Custom silicon for LLMs is the right long-term bet. GPUs are general-purpose. Groq is purpose-built. As open-source models match GPT quality, Groq becomes the default inference layer.”
