This milestone follows eight months after a landmark $20 billion licensing deal designed to integrate Groq’s technology and talent. According to reports, the production shift represents a concrete step in Nvidia's strategy to dominate the specialized AI hardware landscape.

Nebius has been named as the primary launch customer, slated to deploy the technology through its Token Factory before the end of 2026.
