EETimes - Groq's AI Chip Debuts in the Cloud -

Groq's tensor streaming processor (TSP) silicon is now available to accelerate customers' AI workloads in the cloud. Cloud service provider Nimbix now offers machine learning acceleration on Groq hardware as an on-demand service for "selected customers" only. While there are several startups building AI silicon for the data center, Groq now joins Graphcore as the only two with accelerators commercially available for customers to use as part of a cloud service. Graphcore previously announced its accelerators are available as part of Microsoft Azure. "Groq's simplified processing architecture is unique, providing unprecedented, deterministic performance for compute intensive workloads, and is an exciting addition to our cloud-based AI and Deep Learning platform," said Steve Hebert, Nimbix' CEO.
