Have you tried Groq? We did a few days testing on replacing gpt4-turbo with it and, while incredibly fast, the results were horrible, even after a lot of specific prompt engineering. So many hallucinations and such. Our products all have to do with strict generation and software quality; it basically has to fill in the blanks but it was incredibly hit or miss. Some results came in within a second so even a few iterations beat gpt4 when correct, but some needed so many (that we quit) iterations that gpt4 beat it hands down.



Groq is hardware not software... It's like saying the H100 hallucinated.


Well, why not. It's like saying that Windows crashed - while it actually was some driver or app that caused it.

The hardware (or OS) is useless if it doesn't give good results, even if it theoretically could.


they just run other open models, so you're complaint isn't about Groq, it's about GPT-4 vs mixtral 8x7b accelerated


Sure, so when openai moves to groq it might be something. Groq with the current models is impressive but doesn’t work for us is what I am saying. As I don’t actually have access to other models on groq, this is groq as it stands.
