Nvidia Reaches About $20 Billion Non-Exclusive Groq Deal to Import Inference Tech and Talent

Analysts say the arrangement strengthens Nvidia’s inference push without a full buyout.

Overview

  • Coverage describes the transaction as roughly $20 billion, though the companies have not disclosed full terms or a definitive agreement.
  • The pact is framed as a non-exclusive license that brings Groq founder Jonathan Ross, president Sunny Madra, and engineering teams to Nvidia to integrate low-latency inference into its AI factory architecture.
  • Groq said it signed a non-definitive agreement with Nvidia and stated it will continue to operate as an independent company.
  • Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the move expands the company’s capabilities and that Groq’s low-latency processors will be integrated into Nvidia’s AI factory design.
  • Wall Street largely views the deal as a “tech and talent grab,” with firms including Mizuho, Bank of America, and Cantor Fitzgerald maintaining bullish ratings and highlighting potential long-term benefits versus rivals such as AMD and Intel.
