Groq

Use Groq’s ultra-fast inference with PraisonAI Agents

Environment Variables

Setting MODEL_NAME=groq/llama3-70b is enough — no need to set OPENAI_BASE_URL. The GROQ_API_KEY environment variable is consulted; OPENAI_API_KEY is not used as a fallback.

If you just want the Groq default, setting GROQ_API_KEY alone is enough — no MODEL_NAME, no llm=. Agent(...) picks groq/llama-3.3-70b-versatile and routes it through litellm. See Provider Auto-Detection.
