> Now imagine you're one of these customers. [...] Then you find out: 90% of the engineering team is leaving for Nvidia, The CEO and President are leaving for Nvidia, All the IP is licensed to Nvidia, Your point of contact is now... a CFO and 10% of the original workforce?

Beginning of 2024, my employer was planning to buy GroqRacks, I knew someone from the CTO board and we had a chat about it. I was sceptical and din't hold back my opinion:

lock-in on niche technology, risk if the specific HW could serve upcoming/larger models, new model architecture implementations require proprietary knowledge and software, and we would need GPU clusters for training, anyway.

I don't know if that influenced the decision, but the project was stopped, in the end. I'm glad we didn't buy GroqHardware.
