Methodology Note
Performance estimates for the Groq LPUare based on InferenceBench's roofline performance model with CUDA kernel-level optimization including FlashAttention v2 and PagedAttention. Memory calculations account for model weights (230 GB SRAM available), KV-cache allocation, and activation memory. Throughput predictions use the Groq LPU's rated 80000 GB/s memory bandwidth and 188 BF16 TFLOPS compute capacity as roofline ceilings, with empirical correction factors per GPU architecture (other). See our full methodology.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many AI models can run on Groq LPU?
The Groq LPU can run 280 AI models from our database within a single node. Compatible models range across various parameter sizes depending on the quantization precision (BF16, FP8, INT4). Smaller models fit on a single GPU while larger models may require multi-GPU setups up to 8x Groq LPU.
What is the Groq LPU inference throughput?
The Groq LPU delivers 188 BF16 TFLOPS and 376 FP8 TFLOPS with 80000 GB/s memory bandwidth. Actual inference throughput (tokens/sec) depends on the model size, precision, and batch size. Use our calculator for model-specific throughput estimates.
How much does Groq LPU cost per hour?
The Groq LPU is available starting from $0.00/hour via groq. Prices vary by provider and pricing tier (on-demand, reserved, spot). Compare pricing across all providers in the table above.
