Questions people ask
How much does LPU cost per hour?
Groq does not publish a public accelerator-hour for the LPU. GroqCloud is a token API. No sourced public chip-hour in this snapshot..
Why do LPU prices differ so much between clouds?
Because the terms differ. On-demand is a list price with no commitment; spot is interruptible and priced to fill idle capacity; reserved and one-year contracts trade a commitment for a lower rate; AWS Capacity Blocks are scheduled reservations, not on-demand. The tape never averages these: each print carries its venue, term and date.
Has the LPU price gone up or down?
No dated same-venue pair exists for a one-quarter change, so none is printed.
Is the LPU available to rent right now?
Promoted from omitted: Groq publishes token-API pricing, not a chip-hour. The tape will not invent one.
