Groq

If you didn't know the Groq LPU runs: LLMs from (@AIatMeta, @MistralAI, @Alibaba_Qwen, @deepseek_ai, @Google Gemma, ...), vision models, speech-to-text models (whisper from @OpenAI ) and now text-to-speech models (PlayAI) We are just getting started...

Groq launched voice generation today in partnership with PlayAI. GroqCloud now has realtime transcription, LLMs, *and* text-to-speech. You can build super-responsive, ultra low-latency voice agents end-to-end entirely on Groq! At Daily, we're big fans of Groq's fast, low-latency inference. Pipecat, the open source voice agents framework we curate, supports all the Groq models, including the new voice model. Lately, we've been obsessively playing a voice chat game that Mark Backman wrote. (My high score is 6, so far.) Here's Mark, with Groq's `Celeste-PlayAI` voice.

?? “As an entrepreneur, it’s crucial that you pick the thing that you feel you need to solve, not just the thing that everyone else thinks you should do,” Jonathan Ross, Groq. Jonathan has lived the startup rollercoaster: from not having the funds to make payroll to securing a $1.5 billion commitment to expand its AI infrastructure only a few years later. Few founders are as willing to be vulnerable and transparent on stage but everyone at Visionaries Unplugged 2025: Dare to Ignite had the chance to learn from a true leader during this session: ?? Vulnerability is a superpower: Build loyal teams through radical transparency. When you open up to employees about challenges, you create unstoppable momentum ?? Bigger doesn’t mean better: tripling the size of the team or customer count will triple the problems you have. Groq scaled 640 chips in production to 40,000 in one year, yet the headcount grew by just 50 people. Being lean is paying off.? ?? Embrace the startup struggle: There is value in going through struggles and learning as a team. Even hiring mistakes can lead to perfect decisions. Never forget: it’s impossible to build a successful business without a little luck. ?? Forget early defensibility obsession: The ultimate moat? Relentlessly solving customer problems. Competitors become irrelevant when your customers become evangelists for your product. The formula is clear: stay lean, lead with vulnerability and welcome the struggle. This isn't just how you scale, it's how you win. Let us know in the comments below what you think are the most important leadership characteristics to succeed ??
