AI chip startup Groq is reportedly seeking $650 million in funding as it shifts focus from hardware to AI inference optimization. This comes after Nvidia's failed $20 billion acquisition attempt of the company. The funding would support Groq's new direction in improving how AI models process and respond to user queries.
Background
