GroqCloud is Groq's AI inference platform, structured as GroqMetal, GroqCore, and GroqAssured tiers for infrastructure, inference, and enterprise control.
GroqCloud is Groq's inference cloud platform that provides fast, reliable AI inference at scale. It is organized into three tiers: GroqMetal for dedicated bare-metal infrastructure, GroqCore for a tested inference stack, and GroqAssured for enterprise-grade governance, auditability, and control.
The platform runs on Groq's Language Processing Unit (LPU) hardware. Groq operates 13 data centers across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, and in partnership with NVIDIA has integrated its inference technology into the NVIDIA LPX platform.
