Groq 创始人兼 CEO。Groq 做的 LPU（语言处理单元）是一款确定性、大片上 SRAM 的推理芯片，在大模型上能跑出业内最快的一档 token 吞吐，也是 GroqCloud API 的底座。他在 Google 时以 20% 业余项目的形式发起了 TPU，后来主导其设计。注意 Groq 与 xAI 的 Grok 是两家。
Started the TPU at Google as a 20% project before leading its design, then founded Groq around the LPU — a deterministic, SRAM-heavy inference chip whose token throughput on large models nobody matched for years, sold as the GroqCloud API rather than as silicon. In December 2025 NVIDIA took a roughly $20B non-exclusive licence to the LPU architecture and Ross moved to NVIDIA with president Sunny Madra: an ending that reads less like an acquisition than like the incumbent buying the idea and the people while leaving the company standing.
