What is LPU? The Secret Behind the 'Language Processing Unit' Designed for AI Inference, 10x Faster than GPU

LPU (Language Processing Unit) is a novel AI chip architecture developed by Groq, designed specifically for large language model inference. By discarding the dynamic scheduling and external memory of GPUs in favor of deterministic static scheduling and massive on-chip SRAM, it generates tokens several to over ten times faster than traditional GPUs, making it a crucial hardware accelerator for real-time AI conversation and voice applications.
