What it does

An LPU Inference Engine, with LPU standing for Language Processing Unit™, is a new type of end-to-end processing unit system that provides the fastest inference at ~500 tokens/second.

Groq is the premier neocloud for fast inference. One fully integrated platform for infrastructure, inference, and control. Millions of developers run trillions of tokens on Groq every week.

Now, with LPX, it works alongside NVIDIA’s next-generation GPUs to deliver unparalleled inference capability, reliably, affordably, at scale. We’re building hundreds of megawatts of capacity, with many more on thefrom groq.com

  • Speeding up LLM inference 2x times (possibly)2024 · asciinema.org · ▲419

    Here's a project I've been working on for the last few months. It's a new (I think) algorithm, that allows to adjust smoothly - and in real time - how many calculations you'd like to do during inference of an LLM model. It seems that it's possible to do just 20-25% of weight multiplications instead of all of them, and still get good inference results. I implemented it to run on M1/M2/M3 GPU. The mmul approximation itself can be pushed to run 2x fast before the quality of output collapses. The inference speed is just a bit faster than Llama.cpp's, because the rest of implementation…

    We had no guide or course that teaches chip design at our university. We had taken a digital logic course, but were disappointed with the fact that the most complex project we did was building a full adder in Quartus using logic blocks, not even in RTL!5 Therefore, we decided to challenge ourselves to dive deep into machine learning (ML) hardware and learn as much as we could on our own. We wanted to prove that basic math (like y = mx + b) and basic logic circuits are enough to help anyone understand how modern AI hardware works. Our goal was to design our own version of the LPU from scratch…
