Course overview

Groq's LPU hardware delivers 300+ tokens/second — 10x faster than GPU-based APIs. Build real-time AI voice apps, coding assistants, and instant chatbots.

Why Groq Matters

Groq built custom Language Processing Units (LPUs) that deliver inference at 300+ tokens/second — compared to 50 t/s on typical GPU APIs. This enables: Real-time voice AI with <100ms first-token latency Instant code generation — no streaming lag Free tier — generous free usage for Llama 3, Mixtral, Gemma Groq hosts open-source models only (Llama 3, Mixtral 8x7B, Gemma, Whisper).
