Unleash the Power of Groq's LPU Inference Engine

Experience lightning-fast, deterministic AI inference with Groq's revolutionary Language Processing Unit (LPU).

Groq's LPU architecture is an evolutionary leap forward from GPUs, poised to disrupt the A.I. landscape.

As Chamath Palihapitiya noted in his recent interview with Groq CEO Jonathan Ross, "You now see developers stress testing Groq and finding that we are meaningfully, meaningfully faster and cheaper than any Nvidia solution, there's the potential here to be really disruptive."

The Groq Tensor Streaming Processor (TSP) architecture, now referred to as the Language Processing Unit (LPU), is purpose-built for the demands of large language models and offers several key advantages over traditional CPUs and GPUs:

The rapid growth of large language models has created an unprecedented demand for specialized AI hardware. With the size of LLMs increasing by an order of magnitude every year, the need for purpose-built architectures like Groq's LPU has never been greater.

As the world's compute infrastructure shifts towards AI-centric workloads, Groq is positioned to capture a significant portion of this expanding market. With its unique architecture and strong scaling capabilities, Groq's LPU is ready to meet the challenges of the AI era head-on.

About Me

Christopher Knight – Customer-Centric Software Leader

I am a versatile software engineer and tech evangelist with a decade of building production software, all stemming from my foundational interest in anthropology. I love to build and lead technical teams, work through complex data integrations, and advocate for developers in ecosystems. My passion for cutting-edge technology and its potential to transform our world has lead me on a multi-year search to align with a company like Groq, and your mission to revolutionize computation with the groundbreaking LPU architecture.

In my current role as a Software Engineering Manager at Guild Education, I lead a team of 7 engineers responsible for data integration with the nation's largest employers such as PepsiCo, Walmart, and Walt Disney. This experience has honed my skills in product management, sales/solution engineering, and managing complex implementation needs with the largest enterprise customers out there.

Previously, as a Developer Evangelist at Xero, I managed open-source SDKs (Open API Spec + Codegen in 6 languages), advocated internally for the ecosystem developers, and managed hundreds of API customers, through sales-centric on-boarding and technical thought leadership in our open source communities. This role strengthened my ability to communicate technical concepts effectively, build strong relationships with developers and partners, and drive adoption of innovative solutions Xero Developer Relations Work

My background spans vendor analysis, software development, team leadership, and developer advocacy. I'm extremely passionate about Groq's mission and feel i'd bring an entrepreneurial drive to the Sales Engineering, GroqCloud & Developer Experience teams. I am incredibly excited about the potential of Groq's LPU technology and would love to explore the opportunity to bring my skills, experience, and enthusiasm to your team.
