Groq
Groq is a chip design and cloud services company focused on AI inference acceleration. The company has developed a proprietary Language Processing Unit (LPU) architecture optimized for high-speed inference of large language models. Groq also provides cloud-based AI inference API services built on its custom silicon, targeting developers and enterprise users, with low latency and high throughput as its core technical differentiators.
Core Facts
@ai-sdk/togetherai is the official Vercel AI SDK adapter for the TogetherAI platform, built on top of the openai-compatible base package.
OpenAI's API interface specification has become the de facto communication standard in the AI industry, and many model providers including Anthropic, Google, and Mistral offer interfaces compatible with this format.
Groq uses an LPU architecture that achieves deterministic computation scheduling through compile-time static scheduling, eliminating runtime scheduling overhead to obtain extremely low and consistent latency.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The Moonshot Kimi K2 model is listed as a hosted model in Groq's documentation, but is unavailable on the tested API key, returning 404 rather than a permission error.
The Groq free API generally refers to the free quota tier offered by the platform: it can be called at limited rates without binding a payment method, but tokens-per-minute and requests-per-minute limits are imposed; once exceeded, status codes such as 429 are returned rather than silently degrading.
Game description text is sent to Groq's free LLM API to be translated into the other seven languages, regardless of which languages the developer checked.
NanoAgent supports OpenAI, Groq, Anthropic, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, as well as any self-hosted endpoint compatible with the OpenAI protocol (such as Ollama and llama.cpp server), and switching providers requires changing only one line of configuration.
Muse Spark Open can be called on the day of release through platforms such as Baseten, Fireworks AI, Groq, Modal, Nebius, OpenRouter and Together AI.
Groq returns x-ratelimit-remaining-requests (per day) and x-ratelimit-remaining-tokens (per minute) headers as well as a retry-after header in 429 responses.
Vendors such as Gemini, Groq, NVIDIA NIM, OpenRouter, Cloudflare Workers AI and Cerebras provide OpenAI-compatible chat format endpoints.
The tool is not bound to any model provider and supports more than 20 providers, including Qwen, DeepSeek, Zhipu GLM, Doubao, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Kimi, Mistral, Groq, and others.
The reasoning layer of MedScribe AI uses openai/gpt-oss-120b running through Groq, achieving fast and free inference, and patient X-ray data is not sent to any proprietary server.
LeadRadar's tech stack is: Express for the API, MongoDB Atlas for storage, the allam-2-7b model on Groq's free tier (with Ollama as a local fallback), SerpApi for search, all deployed on a single Render service.
