Riyadh – Sharikat Mubasher: Groq, the second-largest semiconductor company in artificial intelligence providing advanced AI chips, announced at the Global AI Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, that it will deploy AI in the country in 2024 in partnership with Aramco Digital.

The announcement was made by Jonathan Ross, Groq's founder and CEO, and Tareq Amin, Aramco Digital's CEO, according to the Saudi Press Agency.

 Groq aims to achieve a capacity of 25 million tokens per second by the end of Q1 2025, matching the combined capacity of Microsoft and OpenAI at the end of 2023.

The company also revealed plans to expand this capacity to 1 billion tokens per second, which would consume over 600 megawatts of power.

 Additionally, Aramco Digital announced a custom AI-based operating system called NourOS, which allows users to interact with the system in natural language

Norous is an advanced generative AI model that uses vocal commands to increase productivity in the workspace.

AI chips process large amounts of data needed for AI workloads.

Take, for example, building an organization structure for a new start-up company; when prompted, Norous will create the structure based on existing models instead of suggesting an answer in a textual format.

Rather than move from application to application, employees will be able to complete all their daily tasks on one smarter platform.
