Groq Provider

The Groq provider contains language model support for the Groq API.

Setup

The Groq provider is available via the @ai-sdk/groq module. You can install it with

pnpm add @ai-sdk/groq

Provider Instance

You can import the default provider instance groq from @ai-sdk/groq:

import { groq } from '@ai-sdk/groq';

If you need a customized setup, you can import createGroq from @ai-sdk/groq and create a provider instance with your settings:

import { createGroq } from '@ai-sdk/groq';

const groq = createGroq({
  // custom settings
});

You can use the following optional settings to customize the Groq provider instance:

• baseURL string

  Use a different URL prefix for API calls, e.g. to use proxy servers. The default prefix is https://api.groq.com/openai/v1.

• apiKey string

  API key that is being sent using the Authorization header. It defaults to the GROQ_API_KEY environment variable.

• headers Record<string,string>

  Custom headers to include in the requests.

• fetch (input: RequestInfo, init?: RequestInit) => Promise<Response>

  Custom fetch implementation. Defaults to the global fetch function. You can use it as a middleware to intercept requests, or to provide a custom fetch implementation for e.g. testing.

Language Models

You can create Groq models using a provider instance. The first argument is the model id, e.g. gemma2-9b-it.

const model = groq('gemma2-9b-it');

Reasoning Models

Groq offers several reasoning models such as qwen-qwq-32b and deepseek-r1-distill-llama-70b. You can configure how the reasoning is exposed in the generated text by using the reasoningFormat option. It supports the options parsed, hidden, and raw.

import { groq } from '@ai-sdk/groq';
import { generateText } from 'ai';

const result = await generateText({
  model: groq('qwen-qwq-32b'),
  providerOptions: {
    groq: { reasoningFormat: 'parsed' },
  },
  prompt: 'How many "r"s are in the word "strawberry"?',
});

Example

You can use Groq language models to generate text with the generateText function:

import { groq } from '@ai-sdk/groq';
import { generateText } from 'ai';

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: groq('gemma2-9b-it'),
  prompt: 'Write a vegetarian lasagna recipe for 4 people.',
});

Model Capabilities

Transcription Models

You can create models that call the Groq transcription API using the .transcription() factory method.

The first argument is the model id e.g. whisper-large-v3.

const model = groq.transcription('whisper-large-v3');

You can also pass additional provider-specific options using the providerOptions argument. For example, supplying the input language in ISO-639-1 (e.g. en) format will improve accuracy and latency.

import { experimental_transcribe as transcribe } from 'ai';
import { groq } from '@ai-sdk/groq';
import { readFile } from 'fs/promises';

const result = await transcribe({
  model: groq.transcription('whisper-large-v3'),
  audio: await readFile('audio.mp3'),
  providerOptions: { groq: { language: 'en' } },
});

The following provider options are available:

• timestampGranularities string[] The granularity of the timestamps in the transcription. Defaults to ['segment']. Possible values are ['word'], ['segment'], and ['word', 'segment']. Note: There is no additional latency for segment timestamps, but generating word timestamps incurs additional latency.

• language string The language of the input audio. Supplying the input language in ISO-639-1 format (e.g. 'en') will improve accuracy and latency. Optional.

• prompt string An optional text to guide the model's style or continue a previous audio segment. The prompt should match the audio language. Optional.

• temperature number The sampling temperature, between 0 and 1. Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random, while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic. If set to 0, the model will use log probability to automatically increase the temperature until certain thresholds are hit. Defaults to 0. Optional.
