Groq Raises $650M to Scale Its AI Inference Cloud and LPU Chips
AI inference chipmaker Groq raised $650 million from investors including Infinitum and Disruptive to scale its LPU-based inference cloud, betting that purpose-built silicon can undercut GPUs on the cost and speed of serving large models. The round is part of a week dominated by bets on the inference layer, from Baseten's $1.5B to AI-networking deals.

Groq Confirms $650M Raise and Rebuilds Leadership After Nvidia's $20B 'Not-Acqui-Hire'
AI chipmaker Groq confirmed a $650 million funding round and a near-total leadership rebuild, six months after Nvidia signed a roughly $20 billion non-exclusive licensing deal that also hired away Groq's founder-CEO Jonathan Ross, president Sunny Madra and other senior staff. The round -- led by Dallas firm Disruptive and hedge fund Infinitum -- bankrolls Groq's pivot from selling chips to running an AI inference 'neocloud.'
