Groq

Install

To use GroqModel, you need to either install pydantic-ai, or install pydantic-ai-slim with the groq optional group:

pip install "pydantic-ai-slim[groq]" 
uv add "pydantic-ai-slim[groq]" 

Configuration

To use Groq through their API, go to console.groq.com/keys and follow your nose until you find the place to generate an API key.

GroqModelName contains a list of available Groq models.

Environment variable

Once you have the API key, you can set it as an environment variable:

export GROQ_API_KEY='your-api-key' 

You can then use GroqModel by name:

Learn about Gateway
from pydantic_ai import Agent agent = Agent('gateway/groq:llama-3.3-70b-versatile') ... 
from pydantic_ai import Agent agent = Agent('groq:llama-3.3-70b-versatile') ... 

Or initialise the model directly with just the model name:

from pydantic_ai import Agent from pydantic_ai.models.groq import GroqModel model = GroqModel('llama-3.3-70b-versatile') agent = Agent(model) ... 

provider argument

You can provide a custom Provider via the provider argument:

from pydantic_ai import Agent from pydantic_ai.models.groq import GroqModel from pydantic_ai.providers.groq import GroqProvider model = GroqModel( 'llama-3.3-70b-versatile', provider=GroqProvider(api_key='your-api-key') ) agent = Agent(model) ... 

You can also customize the GroqProvider with a custom httpx.AsyncClient:

from httpx import AsyncClient from pydantic_ai import Agent from pydantic_ai.models.groq import GroqModel from pydantic_ai.providers.groq import GroqProvider custom_http_client = AsyncClient(timeout=30) model = GroqModel( 'llama-3.3-70b-versatile', provider=GroqProvider(api_key='your-api-key', http_client=custom_http_client), ) agent = Agent(model) ...
