Seeing the volume of @Adobe employees promoting their latest product breakthrough firefly.adobe.com tells us everything we need to know about their workforce culture. Execs thanking families of staff publicly and staff thanking leaders for their guidance and drive.

Wow, what a journey. Exactly 1 year ago this week we launched GroqCloud and today we reached 1 million registered developers who have been in our console. So many devs, companies, apps, demos, and ideas. Thanks to everyone who has been a champion for what we're trying to do.

If orgs performances are attempting to catch up to @GroqInc benchmark numbers might I remind everyone that we're still running on our 1st gen LPU™, 14nm silicon. 2nd gen in progress is at 4nm which will leap Groq ahead again. I can't wait. @JonathanRoss321 has a plan.

We are at the epicenter of a new market category, Inference. $NVDA report today stated by their CTO that ~40% of their data-center revenue came from Inference. We have so much more coming for the Developer community, led by @sundeep vision for GroqCloud™. Lots more to come...

Game changer, for Graphic Designers. #GenerativeFill in @Photoshop by @Adobe records prompts in Actions. This means dynamic AI selections, crop expand, art generation, ...and you can batch process! Fun times ahead! #GenAI

What a week! From Wednesday speaking on stage at @ImagineAILive and meeting some truly amazing people to Friday when I landed in ATX and was rushed by ambulance to a nearby ER resulting in surgery to remove my appendix and more. Still here with an infection they are treating. Now

Today is my day of reflection. 2007 - on this day, we lost our first daughter Penelope. I share to remind anyone in your darkest times to seek light and love, it was the only way I pulled through those times. I stare at this place, we spread her ashes here, thinking of its beauty

We're so happy that @crewAIInc and their founder @joaomdmoura invited us to be part of this course featuring @AndrewYNg and their team's educational content. We hope to bring more learning about inference with @GroqInc into the community soon!

@GroqInc was one of our major partner in this course! We actually worked with their team, and put together an entire lesson using groq models! I’m blown alway about how fast they run every time I execute them! 🔥
