Package: Invicti AppSec Enterprise (on-premise, on-demand)
Groq
Groq is an AI infrastructure company that offers ultra-fast LLM inference via its Language Processing Unit (LPU) hardware, accessible through a cloud API. The Invicti AppSec integration with Groq enables AI-powered features — such as vulnerability remediation guidance and security analysis — by connecting to open-source and proprietary models hosted on Groq's high-speed inference platform.
