The spelling with a 'k' is more canon (referring to the term from Heinlein) and that was the spelling in the tech culture that borrowed it... what is the reason for choosing a 'q' in theirs, do you know?
Pretty silly to name your company a common word directly related to the product, then get upset at others using that same word for their product. It’s like if Grindr made angle grinders then got mad at a different company releasing an angle grinder they called “Grinder”.

Groq really has an unfortunate name. (I assume they had theirs before Grok.)

I like the "q" as in "query" or "question"; seems a fitting homophone.
Yeah they're not happy about that

I'll act as official mediator. Conclusion: both should change their name
