Meta and Groq have announced a partnership to deliver fast inference capabilities for the official Llama API, announced in a press release. This collaboration aims to provide developers with the fastest and most cost-effective way to run the latest Llama models.

The Llama 4 API, now in preview, will be accelerated by Groq's LPU, touted as the world's most efficient inference chip. This setup allows developers to run Llama models with low cost, fast responses, and predictable low latency, making it ideal for production workloads.

Groq's infrastructure offers speeds of up to 625 tokens per second throughput and requires minimal effort to migrate from other platforms, such as OpenAI. The Llama API is currently available to select developers in preview, with a broader rollout planned in the coming weeks.
