Other senior executives and engineers will also move to Nvidia, bolstering its in-house expertise in alternative chip designs. Rather than buying Groq outright, Nvidia has opted for a non-exclusive licensing agreement combined with what is effectively a high-profile acqui-hire. It also allows Nvidia to absorb some of the industry’s most experienced AI chip engineers without triggering the delays and risks associated with a major acquisition review. At an industry level, the agreement highlights how the AI chip race is evolving. Overall, Nvidia’s move to license Groq’s technology and hire its top executives reflects both confidence and caution.
