Context Before

This is our GTC 2026 recap, and we will address many of the key questions that have been left unanswered by Nvidia. Specifically, we will go through the LPX rack and LP30 chip and explain how attention and feed forward network disaggregation (AFD) works; more details on the various rack architectures behind NVL144, NVL576, and NVL1152 and clarify just how much optics will be inserted as well as the rationale behind the dense Vera ETL256. The next generation Kyber rack had some big updates and some hidden details.

Groq

Evidence

This is why, less than four months after the deal was announced, Nvidia already has a system concept that is being integrated into the Vera Rubin inference stack

Context After

Let’s now go through a refresher on the LPU architecture to see how Groq’s LPU complements Nvidia’s GPU. For more details see our original Groq piece. The premise from that piece remains unchanged: the standalone Groq LPU system is not economical for serving tokens at scale, but it can serve tokens very quickly which can demand a large market premium. This is the premise behind how LPU fits into a disaggregated decode system.
