Nvidia Acquires Groq Assets For $20 Billion
Nvidia agreed to buy assets from Groq for $20 billion in cash, the deal reported by Alex Davis of Disruptive and acknowledged in a Groq blog post on Wednesday. The agreement includes a non-exclusive license to Groq's inference technology and brings Groq leaders Jonathan Ross and Sunny Madra to Nvidia, while Groq says it will remain an independent company led by interim CEO Simon Edwards. The move expands Nvidia's low-latency inference capabilities.
