A: Hey! Did you hear about Nvidia and Groq? It's pretty wild!

B: No way! What's going on?

A: Apparently, Nvidia is working with Groq! It's some kind of deal.

B: Really? Nvidia and Groq? Those are big companies!

A: Yeah! They’re going to be working together. And, get this – Nvidia is hiring Groq’s founder and president!

A: Exactly! And the founder of Groq, Jonathan Ross, he’s a big deal! He helped invent those TPUs at Google too.

B: Seriously? He’s that important?

A: He is! Groq’s been growing really fast too. They’re powering AI apps for millions of developers now.

B: Incredible! Sounds like Nvidia is trying to be *even more* dominant in the chip world!

A: Totally! It's a big move for everyone.
Summary
Nvidia & Groq have a deal: Nvidia is licensing tech & hiring key Groq personnel (including founder). Reports suggest a $20B asset acquisition, though Nvidia calls it non-exclusive. Groq's LPUs offer faster, more efficient AI processing. #AI #chips
