TGB is hosting Groq CEO for an exclusive roundtable

We are excited to partner with Groq - world’s fastest AI inference technology company - to host their CEO for an exclusive invite-only roundtable in May. Handful of CXOs from Singapore’s top technology companies have been invited for this roundtable and get a sneak peek into Groq’s vision. Hopefully in future we can open up such engagements for the entire TGB community :)

Groq provides the fastest AI inferencing using their Language Processing Unit. The LPU is fundamentally different from the GPU – originally designed for graphics processing – and is uniquely designed for AI inference and language.
