Si Legge Come Grok Ma È Groq. La Startup Dell’Ai Salva Grazie A Un Patto: Stipendi Dei Dipendenti In Cambio Di Equity

L'azienda americana è stata fondata nel 2016 da Jonathan Ross. Nei momenti più duri ha richiesto al personale enormi sacrifici. Superata la crisi ha iniziato a chiudere un round dopo l'altro: nei giorni scorsi si è assicurata 1,5 miliardi di dollari dall'Arabia SauditaIn queste ore si parla di Grok 3, la nuova AI presentata da Elon Musk. C’è però un’altra azienda il cui nome si pronuncia allo stesso modo, ma si scrive diversamente. Groq è una startup statunitense specializzata in Intelligenza artificiale, ma a differenza della creatura del patron di X, è attiva nel segmento dei semiconduttori. La sua storia è emblematica perché, come raccontato in un podcast pubblicato su YouTube nelle scorse ore (disponibile qui sotto), testimonia di come un’azienda può salvarsi dal fallimento al prezzo di grandi sacrifici.La storia di GroqFondata nel 2016 da Jonathan Ross insieme a un gruppo di ingegneri provenienti da Google, l’azienda ha impiegato sette anni prima di avere in mano un prodotto vendibile
