Groq LPU vs A100: Latency drops 94% at $0.27 per million tokens

New benchmarks show Groq's LPU inference engine achieving 18,000 tokens per second compared to 450 on standard A100 clusters. Time-to-first-token latency averaged 12 milliseconds versus 210 milliseconds for GPU-based providers. At current volume pricing, the cost per million output tokens is $0.27 on Groq compared to $2.40 on managed GPU instances.
