Groq Star: Who is Jonathan Ross?


Listen Later

Host Emily Laird lifts the hood on the unsung hero of high-speed AI: Jonathan Ross, the chip whisperer behind Google’s TPU and Groq’s blazing-fast LPU. No TED Talks, no ego—just raw silicon, military-grade precision, and zero patience for lag. From paper citations to billion-dollar deals with Nvidia, this episode tracks how one quiet engineer redefined inference and made “fast” the new frontier. Come for the acronyms, stay for the hardware drama.
