Groq's New AI Chips Run Language Models 10x Faster Than GPUs
-
Groq created custom AI hardware and software called Language Processing Units (LPUs) that are optimized to run large language models up to 10x faster than GPUs.
-
LPUs are designed specifically for processing sequential data like text, DNA, code, etc. Unlike GPUs which are built for graphics.
-
You can try Groq's LPUs for free online to run models like Llama 2, Mixtral-8x7b, and Mistral 7B at blistering speeds.
-
Groq is currently concentrating on expanding its open source model offerings before allowing custom models.
-
Groq's tech could challenge Nvidia's dominance in AI hardware with specialized chips tailored to natural language tasks.
