Groq quantize their models, killing accuracy. SambaNova run the models at full precision, and on a single node, whilst Groq runs a single model on hundreds of chips. SambaNova run training and inference, Groq only run inference. SambaNova run hundreds on models on a single node without any performance degradation, Groq need hundreds of chips for a single model.
Groq are trying to launch their own cloud and running it at a loss to try to acquire users are raise venture capital so they can tape out a new chip (their current chip just is not very competitive, they get speed for having a good interconnect, but it is so cost ineffective). SambaNova sell systems to big companies and service providers, and don’t have a paid cloud API, so aren’t as visible as Groq. But SambaNova make real revenue whilst Groq have literally zero revenue, which is why they struggle to raise money.
Very soon people will realize that Groq are frauds and SambaNova is the legit challenger to Nvidia.
