Groq Raises Another $650M

I know you are joking but I am now seriously wondering if some investors might invest in such typo companies.

Probably really really silly I know/imagine, but you never really know.

after all, there are companies which are getting investment after just naming themselves AI.

I'd be more inclined to invest in Groq over the other one. Not only because I think xAI is a bit of a joke compared to the other frontier models (before even getting into morals) but because Groq is doing something truly interesting whereas xAI is just a "me too" offering that is more of a datacenter reseller than a frontier lab at this point.

It was one of those weird “licensing deals” where Nvidia got some of the tech and the founders joined Nvidia, but the company continues to exist independently.

So I assume this is the non-Nvidia Groq.
