Argonne National Laboratory deploys new Groq system to the ALCF AI Testbed, providing AI accelerator access to researchers globally.

"Inference is a critical part of leveraging AI for science as it allows researchers to use trained machine learning models to make predictions or discover patterns in complex data. Incorporating Groq inference-based solutions into the ALCF AI Testbed further strengthens our portfolio of AI accelerator offerings to our research community." - ALCF Director Michael Papka
