About Groq
Layering built-in tools and enterprise model SKUs onto the LPU inference platform after the MCP push.
Groq is in steady cadence after the late-2025 push that brought MCP support, MCP Connectors for Google Workspace, GPT-OSS-Safeguard 20B, and prompt caching across the GPT-OSS lineup. Recent work focuses on built-in tooling (browser search for GPT OSS), expanding the enterprise model shelf (MiniMax M2.5, Qwen3-VL 32B), TTS voice expansion for the Orpheus Arabic Saudi model, and SDK stability fixes after the Q4 GA.
