Provider comparison
DeepInfra vs Groq
DeepInfra
DeepInfra offers rock-bottom priced hosted inference across a wide catalog of open-weight models, often undercutting competitors by 50-80%. With per-token billing as low as $0.03/M input on small models and aggressive pricing on DeepSeek V3 and Llama 70B, it is the cost champion for high-volume, budget-sensitive inference workloads.
Groq
Groq runs inference on custom LPU (Language Processing Unit) silicon rather than GPUs, delivering unmatched tokens-per-second throughput that can make even 70B models feel instant. With ultra-low pricing on Llama and DeepSeek models and a free tier for experimentation, it is the speed leader in the inference market.
