this is genuinely sad, groq had really fast inference and was a legit alternative architecture to nvidia's dominance. feels like we're watching consolidation kill innovation in real time. really hoping regulators actually look at this one but not holding my breath

Nvidia. Please stop. Just stop it already.

Put Groq and Nvidia execs in prison, blatant anti-trust.

Next they would acquire and kill Cerebras. I hate every part of Nvidia

That's great, but LLMs are still not generating revenue.
