On December 24, 2025, Groq announced a non-exclusive agreement licensing its inference technology to Nvidia. This article records the terms Groq publicly described at that time. [1]

## Read the announced changes

Groq said founder Jonathan Ross, president Sunny Madra and other team members would join Nvidia to help develop and scale the licensed technology. It also said Groq would remain an independent company, with Simon Edwards becoming CEO. [1]

## 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]
