Overview

  • Groq said it entered a non‑exclusive licensing agreement with Nvidia for its inference technology and will continue operating independently.
  • Founder Jonathan Ross, president Sunny Madra, and other Groq engineers will join Nvidia to help scale the licensed technology.
  • Groq named Simon Edwards as CEO and said GroqCloud remains outside the transaction and will continue service.
  • Multiple outlets reported a roughly $20 billion cash deal citing investor Alex Davis, but neither Nvidia nor Groq has confirmed a sale.
  • Nvidia signaled plans to integrate Groq’s low‑latency processors into its NVIDIA AI Factory architecture to expand inference and real‑time workloads.
