Groq this: I'm hiring my replacement! Role: Global Head of Talent Acquisition Mission: Enable Groq to scale by assembling the most talent dense team on the planet You: love your craft, can change altitude easily, have scaled from small to big, have built and led high performing teams, innovate and get stuff done, walk the talk, have a deep curiosity and ability to learn, and are kind and real The team: You get to work with an amazing Talent team, including the legendary Allison Hopkins Apply by 23rd March: I will be reviewing all applications and every candidate will hear from me. Please share with your network. It’s not hyperbole to say this is the opportunity of a lifetime What does this mean for me? I’m moving into operations to help bring to life our AI datacenters with compute partners around the world. This is building on the work I have done over the last 6 months working with an incredible team to create the first AI DC in the Middle East. It also means that I’ll be handing over my lego’s with a smile (hat tip to Molly). Thanks Rahul, Allison, Sunny and Jonathan for your support. Let’s go!???

Congrats to Sai Shruthi Balaji, Narendar Sriram & Abhirami Saravanan,?winners of the Best on Groq ?? at the AI for Good Hackathon, where hackers competed to create AI-driven solutions that align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (https://sdgs.un.org/goals) Their project, Solulu, is an AI-powered social engagement app to encourage teens to engage in outdoor activities and form social connections.

DeepSeek made it abundantly and nakedly clear that the models have been commoditized. If there was any doubt before, that doubt is now over. So, what is the moat right now? For me, I love Hamilton Helmer's "Seven Powers." If marketing is the art of decommoditizing your product, the 7 Powers are the best known ways to do it. ???? Scale Economies ???? Network Effects ???? Brand ???? Counter positioning ???? Cornered resources ???? Switching costs ???? Process Power But companies get too much attention. In a world where people say that AI is going to commoditize everyone, how do you de-commoditize yourself? If you’re a software engineer, if you’re a sales rep, if you’re a people manager - how can you apply these 7 powers to yourself? Let’s start with examples from companies and translate that to you. You have to give Sam Altman and OpenAI credit, they have an incredibly strong brand. Why? They didn’t invent LLMs, they didn’t even perfect them. They were first to put an LLM online and show it to the general public. How could a software engineer do the same? If we wanted to talk about network effects, the undisputed king is Meta. Imagine if someone made a bit exact copy of WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, etc., and you logged in, and no one was there. Would you use it? They’ve built network effect businesses with billions of people. Meta didn’t become successful accidentally, they invented the concept of the centralized growth hacking org. Can you learn from how Meta did what they did to build your own personal network? Have you ever heard of the Toyota Production System? Toyota is famous for having one of the most efficient car manufacturing systems in the world. Surprisingly, if you ask they’ll give you a tour and explain everything they know about it. After decades of people trying to replicate it, no one has succeeded. Is there anything that you do, that even if you explained everything you knew about it, others couldn’t copy you?

Whether you have a killer app idea, you're curious about Web3 technologies, or you're looking for a job, join us at Agent Bootcamp SF for hands on lessons on using AI tools in your projects. The course starts today & Groqsters will be on site on 3/12. https://hubs.la/Q03b1ycd0

At the Constellation Research, Inc. AI Forum in Menlo Park, I had the privilege of moderating a high-impact discussion on the future of AI infrastructure. As AI adoption accelerates, the challenge isn’t just building smarter models—it’s running them at unprecedented speed and efficiency. We were joined by industry leaders shaping the future of AI compute: ?? Sunny Madra (Groq – Disrupting AI inference with Groq’s blazing-fast LPU chips. ?? Niv Zilberman (Aquatron DC Partners, formerly Intel) – Scaling sovereign and hyperscale AI data centers worldwide. ?? Holger Mueller (Constellation Research) – A leading analyst on AI-driven enterprise infrastructure. ?? Compute is the New Competitive Edge – Microsoft is investing $80B in AI data centers in 2025, scaling liquid cooling, 120kW+ high-density racks, and AI-optimized cloud services. ?? The Chip Wars: NVIDIA, AMD, Intel… and Groq – NVIDIA’s Blackwell GPUs dominate training, but Groq is rewriting inference with its LPUs, running models 10x faster and cheaper than GPUs. ?? $1 Trillion+ AI Data Center Investment is Coming – AI’s projected $8.75T economic impact by 2027 is fueling a compute arms race, with sovereign AI infrastructure and real-time AI at the forefront. ?? Sunny Madra , COO & President at Groq is a visionary leader redefining AI inference with Groq’s breakthrough LPU chips. ? Serial Entrepreneur – Co-founded and exited multiple tech companies: ? Autonomic (acquired by Ford) ? Xtreme Labs (acquired by Pivotal/VMWare) ? Definitive Intelligence (acquired by Groq) At Groq, he’s scaling the world’s fastest AI inference chips, delivering real-time processing at an unmatched 500+ tokens per second ?? Saudi Arabia’s AI Compute Revolution ? Partnered with Aramco Digital to launch the world’s largest AI inference data center in Dammam, built in just 8 days! ? Groq is delivering 25M tokens/sec by Q1 2025. Saudi Arabia is now a global AI compute hub. Sunny’s message was clear: AI isn’t just about training models—it’s about running them at game-changing speeds. Groq is making that happen. ?? Niv Zilberman, COO of Aquatron DC Partners, is a leader in hyperscale AI infrastructure, overseeing 240MW+ of AI compute across four continents. ? Former VP & GM at Intel – Led sovereign cloud and AI compute innovation. ? Architect of the “Data Center Of Tomorrow” (DCOT) – Delivering AI-ready infrastructure at massive scale. Governments and enterprises are now prioritizing sovereign AI infrastructure, and Niv is at the forefront of this shift. ?? The Road Ahead From Groq’s LPUs to sovereign AI data centers, the compute revolution is here. Those who invest in AI infrastructure today will define AI’s future. A huge thank you to Sunny Madra, Niv Zilberman , and Holger Mueller for an incredible discussion. Thanks to my co-chair R "Ray" Wang for making this happen!! #AICompute #Groq #Hyperscale #DataCenters #AIInference #ConstellationAIForum
