Uptrue's independent monitoring tracked DeepMind and Groq throughout the week of April 20, 2026. Groq delivered perfect uptime with significantly faster response times, while DeepMind experienced one brief outage totaling 30 minutes.
- Groq achieved 100% uptime with zero incidents; DeepMind recorded 99.59% uptime with one 30-minute outage
- Groq's average response time was 91ms compared to DeepMind's 217ms—a 136ms performance gap
- DeepMind's single incident represents 0.29% of the monitoring period
- Both providers maintained availability above 99%, but Groq showed superior performance across all metrics
Uptime This Week
Groq maintained 100% availability throughout the monitoring period with zero service interruptions. DeepMind's 99.59% uptime reflects a single incident; while this exceeds industry minimums, it represents measurable downtime during a critical week for AI tools.
Response Time
Groq's average response time of 91ms significantly outpaced DeepMind's 217ms by more than a factor of two. This 136ms difference is material for latency-sensitive applications and indicates Groq's infrastructure delivered faster transaction processing throughout the period.
Incidents & Downtime
Groq reported zero incidents across the full monitoring period. DeepMind experienced one incident causing 30 minutes of total downtime, representing the only service disruption recorded in this category during the week.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose Groq for applications requiring absolute uptime guarantees and sub-100ms response times. DeepMind remains suitable for less latency-critical workloads, though the week of April 20 demonstrated vulnerability to brief outages.
All uptime, response time, and incident data is collected by Uptrue's independent monitoring infrastructure. HTTP checks run every 5 minutes. An incident is recorded only after 2+ consecutive failed checks. Uptrue is not affiliated with any monitored service. For corrections: reports@uptrue.io
