JAKARTA - Groq, a global pioneer in AI-inference technology, announced that it has partnered with Equinix to build Sydney's largest high-speed AI inference infrastructure with a 4.5 MW-capacity Groq facility.

This collaboration utilizes Equinix's International Business Exchange (IBX) data center in Sydney and features Groq's LPU Inference Engine, AI computing technology that is claimed to be faster, cost-effective, and easy to scale.

"The world doesn't have enough computing capacity for everyone to build AI. That's why Groq and Equinix are expanding access, starting from Australia," said Jonathan Ross, CEO and Founder of Groq.

This infrastructure will later offer up to 5x faster computing power and costs lower than traditional GPUs and hyperscaler clouds.

By leveraging Equinix Fabric, software-defined interconnect services, organizations in Asia-Pacific will benefit from safe, low-latency, and high-speed interconnectivity, with full control and guaranteed compliance.

By combining the latest AI inference technology from Groq as well as global infrastructure and vendor neutral connectivity from Equinix, organizations in the region can scale AI's workload efficiently while maintaining aspects of cost, speed, and compliance.

Our vast unique ecosystem and global reach continue to act as connectivity gateways for their customers and allow the company's AI workflow to run efficiently on a large scale, said Cyrus Adaggra, President, Asia-Pacific, Equinix.
