Someone say to me that Nvidia is not buying Groq; the deal is a non-exclusive licensing agreement for its inference technology with some team members joining Nvidia.

Indeed, it seems to be an Inflection-AI[1] style acquihire of senior leadership and not an acquisition. MS also entered into a non-exclusive licensing agreement with what was left of Inflection AI after poaching its founders.
