Imagine talking to an AI assistant and getting a response in milliseconds. It exists, and it’s called Groq. Today, I ran it through 3 tests. Groq (not to be confused with Elon’s Grok) creates special chips to power AI models. Groq’s claim to fame is ultra-fast inference (or question-answering). Groq…
