Groq Goes Global: Another Empire Built by a Former Teacher

A Taste of Europe? I Prefer My Empire Local Thank You Very Much

So Groq huh? They're building a data center in Helsinki. Finland. Apparently the place is teeming with polar bears and cheap electricity perfect for those energy guzzling AI doohickeys. Makes you wonder if they’ve got their priorities straight. Me? I always preferred keeping things close to home. Control is everything you know? As I told Jesse 'We're in the empire business now.'

Inferencing? Sounds Like Something a Doctor Does

They're calling it 'inferencing.' Fancy word for what those chatbots do spitting out answers like they know something. Groq is focusing on that part of the AI game. Let Nvidia hog the training they’ll swoop in and steal the show when it comes to making sense of the data. Sounds like they are trying to be Heisenberg. Half measures won't work fellas. If you're gonna do it do it right.

Nvidia: The Empire Strikes Back (Or Maybe Just Sits Comfortably)

Nvidia. That name keeps popping up doesn't it? Like they own the entire playground. Everyone wants a piece of their GPU pie. But these startups Groq included they're circling looking for a weakness. Just like how I looked at Gray Matter Technologies always finding new ways to come up from the bottom. I wonder if they will try to cook in the data center or is that just me?

Sovereign AI: Keep Your Data Local *Bitch*

The Europeans are getting all nationalistic about their data wanting it kept on their own soil. Makes sense in a way. Less chance of prying eyes. Reminds me of trying to protect my… my product. Only difference is they have laws and I had… well let's just say my methods were more... persuasive. I was operating independently now it seems there is a need for it.

Equinix: The Cloud Middleman. Or a Distributor

Equinix huh? Sounds like a horse stable. But it connects all those cloud services Amazon Google the whole shebang. Like a big digital swap meet. Groq's sliding in there to offer their inferencing thing. I guess they figure if you can't beat 'em join 'em. Or you know partner with them and gradually take over. Much like Declan was helping with distribution...until things went south.

Groq Around the World: Canada US Saudi Arabia and Now Europe. Expansion!

So Groq has presence in the US Canada Saudi Arabia...and now Europe. Not bad for a startup. But empires aren't built overnight. They require careful planning ruthless execution and a healthy dose of… well let's just call it ambition. Ambitious people always have something to hide I am sure. Like the CEO Jonathan Ross. If they happen to watch this just know I am available for consultation!
