Groq delivers high-speed, low-latency AI inference through GroqCloud, an OpenAI-compatible platform where developers run popular open models like Llama 3, Gemma, Mistral, and Qwen. It's built for developers and businesses that need instant AI responses at scale — powering real-time chatbots, agents, and applications — and differentiates itself with its purpose-built LPU (Language Processing Unit) silicon, now paired with its LPX system to work alongside next-generation GPUs. Rather than a model provider, Groq is inference infrastructure optimized purely for serving models fast and affordably.

GitLab is the complete DevSecOps platform delivering software faster and more efficiently. With source code management, CI/CD, security, and project management in a single application, GitLab is trusted by 30 million+ developers.
