About Groq Cloud

AIWatch Data: Groq Cloud's reported uptime is 100.00%. Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, it experienced 1 incident with an average recovery time of 1h 34m.

Groq Cloud provides ultra-low-latency inference for popular open-source LLMs (Llama, Mixtral, Gemma) using custom LPU hardware. Groq is known for sub-100ms response times that traditional GPU-based providers cannot match.

AIWatch Insight: Groq's edge is response speed, not just availability. AIWatch tracks both uptime and probe-based response times — Groq's latency advantage usually holds even during partial degradations. Most incidents are short capacity-related slowdowns rather than full outages.

When Groq Cloud is down, applications relying on its low-latency inference (real-time voice, streaming chat, agentic loops) lose their speed advantage and must fall back to slower providers, often breaking UX assumptions.

This page provides real-time status, uptime history, and recent incident details — updated every 5 minutes by AIWatch.
