GroqCloud Sydney Inference Cluster
Also known as Groq Equinix Sydney
Operated by Groq at Equinix Sydney (Groq) .
Phase 1 seed dataset, compiled by hand. These rows were built from public operator, laboratory and vendor sources. A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1092 of 1153 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 40 are genuinely weakly sourced. Every claim carries its source and a confidence tier. Treat anything below verified as a lead, not a citation.

Figures are as last publicly reported for the configuration described below, not a live measurement. Where a system was upgraded in place, the post-upgrade configuration is shown and the earlier one appears in the timeline.
What this machine is made of
One row per supplier relationship. “Supplier at build” is the company that shipped the part at the time; where that company has since been acquired, the parent it rolls up to today is shown beside it. That distinction is what makes ticker-level aggregation possible across a thirty-year dataset.
| Role | Part | Supplier at build | Quantity | Confidence | Source |

AI datacenter metrics
Figures beyond an accelerator count, each with who stated it. What can and cannot be compared across AI datacenters.
| Metric | Value | As of | Basis | Note | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Facility power | 4.5 MW | 2025-11 | Design target | Groq: a 4.5 MW Groq facility in Equinix's Sydney data centre; iTWire says it is designed to use 4.5 MW. IT versus total load not stated. | groq.comitwire.com |
The read
Groq's first Asia-Pacific footprint. Groq's 17 November 2025 announcement says Groq and Equinix will establish one of the largest high-speed AI inference sites in Australia with a 4.5 MW Groq facility in Equinix's Sydney data centre. iTWire's report of the launch says the installation is designed to use 4.5 MW and quotes Groq's CEO Jonathan Ross on 2 to 20 million tokens per second depending on the model. No LPU count, specific Equinix building or go-live date is stated, so the system stays planned. Both pages trace to Groq's announcement, so the tier is reported.

Source check
We fetched this system's own citations and recorded whether each page actually mentions it. This is a corroboration signal, not a fact check, and it is published so you can see how well the sourcing holds up rather than take it on trust.
