Check the service statement
The announcement said GroqCloud would continue operating without interruption. It did not publish a customer migration procedure, a new price list or a performance benchmark for a combined product. [1]
For an application using an inference service, keep the company's transaction announcement separate from that service's actual API documentation and release notes. Change integrations when there is a documented product change that affects them.
The announced objective was broader access to fast, lower-cost inference. The brief statement does not establish a measured improvement for an individual workload. [1]
