内容总结:
英伟达与AI芯片竞争对手Groq达成非独家授权协议,并计划吸纳Groq创始人乔纳森·罗斯、总裁桑尼·马德拉及部分核心团队成员。此前CNBC报道称英伟达拟以200亿美元收购Groq资产,但英伟达随后向TechCrunch澄清此次交易并非公司整体收购,且未披露具体合作范围。若CNBC披露金额属实,这将成为英伟达史上规模最大的资产收购案,其行业主导地位有望进一步巩固。
当前科技企业竞相提升AI算力,英伟达GPU已成为行业主流选择。而Groq则专注于研发新型LPU(语言处理单元),据称其运行大语言模型的速度可达传统方案的十倍,能耗仅需十分之一。创始人乔纳森·罗斯在谷歌任职期间曾参与研发TPU(张量处理单元),在AI芯片创新领域具有深厚经验。
今年9月,Groq以69亿美元估值完成7.5亿美元融资,发展势头迅猛。其官方数据显示,目前为超200万开发者提供AI应用支持,较去年约35.6万用户量实现跨越式增长。

英伟达已与人工智能芯片领域的竞争对手格罗克达成一项非独家授权协议。根据协议内容,英伟达将聘用格罗克创始人乔纳森·罗斯、总裁桑尼·马德拉及其他部分员工。
美国消费者新闻与商业频道报道称英伟达正以200亿美元收购格罗克资产;英伟达向科技媒体TechCrunch澄清此次交易并非公司收购,且未对协议具体范围置评。但若该媒体报道数据属实,这将成为英伟达史上规模最大的收购案。凭借格罗克的加入,英伟达在芯片制造领域的统治地位将得到进一步巩固。
随着科技企业竞相提升人工智能实力,算力需求持续攀升,而英伟达的图形处理器已成为行业标准。格罗克则致力于研发名为语言处理单元的差异化芯片,据称其运行大型语言模型的速度可达传统方案的十倍,同时能耗降低90%。格罗克首席执行官乔纳森·罗斯以创新见长——此前任职谷歌期间,他曾参与研发定制化人工智能加速芯片张量处理单元。
今年9月,格罗克以69亿美元估值完成7.5亿美元融资。其发展势头迅猛且显著——公司披露其人工智能应用平台服务的开发者数量已从去年约35.6万激增至超200万。

英文来源:
Nvidia has struck a non-exclusive licensing agreement with AI chip competitor Groq. As part of the deal, Nvidia will hire Groq founder Jonathan Ross, president Sunny Madra, and other employees.
CNBC reported that Nvidia is acquiring assets from Groq for $20 billion; Nvidia told TechCrunch that this is not an acquisition of the company and did not comment on the scope of the deal. But if CNBC’s numbers are accurate, this purchase is expected to be Nvidia’s largest ever, and with Groq on its side, Nvidia is poised to become even more dominant in chip manufacturing.
As tech companies compete to grow their AI capabilities, they need computing power, and Nvidia’s GPUs have emerged as the industry standard. But Groq has been working on a different type of chip called an LPU (language processing unit), which it has claimed can run LLMs at 10 times faster and using one-tenth the energy. Groq’s CEO Jonathan Ross is known for this sort of innovation — when he worked for Google, he helped invent the TPU (tensor processing unit), a custom AI accelerator chip.
In September, Groq raised $750 million at a $6.9 billion valuation. Its growth has been quick and significant — the company said that it powers the AI apps of more than 2 million developers, up from about 356,000 last year.
