SAN FRANCISCO, United States, Dec 25, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Nvidia has hired the leadership of a promising AI chip startup, a statement said Wednesday, as the artificial intelligence giant expands its tech empire. Chip maker Groq said the departure of its top executives was part of a non-exclusive licensing agreement with Nvidia for its inference technology, as both companies seek to expand access to low-cost AI processing. AI inference refers to the process of running pre-trained AI models to make predictions or generate responses - such as when ChatGPT answers a user's question or when an image recognition system identifies objects in a photo. Groq will remain an independent company under new chief executive Simon Edwards, the firm said in a short statement. Google has also made similar moves, bringing on teams from AI startups like Character.AI in 2024.
