Groq designed a deterministic, SRAM-only inference chip that NVIDIA validated with a ~$20B technology license — the largest deal in NVIDIA's history. The standalone company now operates GroqCloud and multi-year sovereign AI deployments across Saudi Arabia, Canada, and Europe, raising the question of what an inference-services business is worth once its core IP lives inside a competitor's platform.
