From custom silicon to cloud infrastructure, every layer is optimized to deliver consistently high-speed performance without compromise \u2014 a key factor drawing developers and enterprises away from traditional GPU stacks.<\/p>\n<p>The Llama API, which serves as Meta\u2019s official gateway for accessing its family of open-source Llama models, is built for high-performance production use. With Groq powering the backend, developers will benefit from:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Throughput speeds up to 625 tokens per second<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Effortless migration from OpenAI with just three lines of code<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>No cold starts, tuning, or GPU overhead<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Over 1.4 million developers and Fortune 500 companies are already building real-time AI applications using Groq\u2019s infrastructure, which offers a competitive edge in delivering fast and reliable results at scale.<\/p>\n<p>The Llama 4 API powered by <a href=\"https:\/\/console.groq.com\/landing\/llama-api\">Groq<\/a> is currently available in preview to a limited number of developers, with a broader rollout expected in the coming weeks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Groq, a leading innovator in AI inference technology, has announced a strategic partnership with Meta to power the official Llama API, delivering what it claims to be the fastest and most cost-effective way to run Meta\u2019s latest Llama 4 models.
