Groq has launched GroqChip 1, the developer’s chip for running artificial intelligence models like LLM. An analysis by ArtificialAnalysis.ai highlights Groq as the fastest LLM processor in the market. The test model, Llama 270B, is utilized by various cloud providers including Amazon Bedrock and Azure. However, Groq stands out for its rapid response time, processing the first 100 tokens in just 0.7 seconds and achieving a total response rate of over 240 tokens per second, outperforming its nearest competitor (Lepton, running slightly above 120 tokens per second).
Referred to as an LPU (language processing unit) by Groq, GroqChip 1 boasts a significant 230MB SRAM for AI processing, making its architecture simpler compared to graphic chips. The current flagship model offered by Groq is the Mixtral 8x7B 32k, capable of handling up to 500 tokens per second. Groq’s website allows everyone to test this model without the need for registration.
TLDR: Groq introduces GroqChip 1, the fastest LLM processor, demonstrating superior processing speed and efficiency in language processing units. Their Mixtral 8x7B 32k model can handle up to 500 tokens per second, setting a new standard in AI processing.
