He recently announced a plan to build a massive campus in Kiryat Tivon, which could eventually house 10,000 workers by 2031.The potential acquisition follows Nvidia's massive $20 billion deal with Groq announced last week, which also had a massive transfer of high-level talent at the heart of the agreement. Jonathan Ross, Groq’s founder and the original architect of Google’s TPU program, will join Nvidia along with Groq’s president and other key team members. Groq will continue to operate as an independent entity, and Nvidia gained access to Groq’s specialized language processing unit (LPU) technology.Read Next: <ul><li>Metals Acting Like Meme Stocks—Unconfirmed Rumor Of Major Silver Margin Call</li></ul>Photo: Shutterstock
