【AI芯片新星Groq获3亿美元投资，估值飙升至22亿美元】
AI芯片领域再掀波澜，初创公司Groq在最新一轮融资中脱颖而出，成功吸引了全球顶级投资机构贝莱德的注目。据《信息》杂志报道，Groq预计将在未来两周内完成由贝莱德领投的3亿美元融资，这一动作将使Groq的最新估值飙升至22亿美元。
相较于2021年，Groq在由Tiger Global Management和D1 Capital领投的11亿美元估值上翻了一倍，显示出投资者对Groq技术实力和市场潜力的极大信心。这一增长速度不仅印证了Groq在过去一年里取得了显著的进展，同时也反映了AI芯片行业在技术创新和应用拓展上的巨大潜力。
Groq的创始人Jonathan Ross，曾是谷歌专用芯片NPU（神经网络处理器）的发明者之一，其对AI芯片领域的深厚积累为Groq的成功奠定了坚实基础。在技术实力上，Groq在AI芯片领域的创新和突破，尤其是在运行LLM（大型语言模型）方面，展现出其在AI芯片领域的独特优势。今年2月，Groq发布的演示视频中，其AI芯片能够以极快的速度运行LLM，这一成果不仅展示了Groq在AI芯片技术上的领先地位，也预示了其在AI领域应用的广阔前景。
此轮融资的成功不仅为Groq提供了充足的资金支持，加速其技术研究和产品开发的步伐，同时也为AI芯片领域注入了新的活力，进一步推动了AI技术在各个行业中的应用，预示着AI芯片市场的未来将更加广阔和充满机遇。

A wave of excitement has hit the AI chip sector as the startup Groq stands out in its latest funding round, attracting the attention of global top-tier investment institution BlackRock. According to The Information magazine, Groq is poised to complete a $300 million funding round led by BlackRock in the next two weeks. This move is expected to boost Groq’s latest valuation to $2.2 billion.
In comparison to its valuation of $11 billion led by Tiger Global Management and D1 Capital in 2021, Groq’s valuation has doubled, demonstrating investors’ significant confidence in its technological capabilities and market potential. This growth rate not only underscores Groq’s remarkable progress in the past year but also highlights the vast potential in AI chip industry innovation and application expansion.
Groq’s founder, Jonathan Ross, who was among the inventors of Google’s dedicated AI chip NPU (Neural Processing Unit), has laid a solid foundation for Groq’s success with his deep expertise in the AI chip domain. In terms of technical strength, Groq’s innovation and breakthroughs in AI chips, particularly in running large language models (LLMs), demonstrate its unique advantages in the AI chip domain. In a demonstration video released by Groq in February, its AI chip was able to run LLMs at an incredibly fast speed, this achievement not only showcases Groq’s leading position in AI chip technology but also hints at its promising prospects in AI field applications.
The successful funding round not only provides Groq with ample financial support to accelerate its technological research and product development, but also injects new vitality into the AI chip sector, further driving the application of AI technology across various industries, and heralding a broader and more promising future for the AI chip market.
