Groq

AISDK provides first-class support for Groq with fully typed model APIs. Model capabilities are enforced at compile time using Rust's type system. This prevents model capability mismatches and guarantees the selected model is valid for the task (e.g. tool calling).

Installation

Enable the Groq provider feature:

cargo add aisdk --features groq

This installs AISDK with the Groq provider enabled. Once you have enabled the Groq provider, you can use all aisdk features with it.

Create a Provider Instance

To create a provider instance, call Groq::model_name(), where model_name is the Groq model you want to use. Model names are exposed as snake-case methods.

use aisdk::providers::Groq;

let groq = Groq::llama_3_1_8b_instruct();

This initializes the provider with:

Model: "llama-3.1-8b-instruct"
API key from environment (if set with GROQ_API_KEY)
Groq's default base URL (https://api.groq.com/openai/)

Basic Text Generation

Example using LanguageModelRequest for text generation.

use aisdk::{
    core::LanguageModelRequest,
    providers::Groq,
};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {

    let groq = Groq::llama_3_1_8b_instruct();

    let response = LanguageModelRequest::builder()
        .model(groq)
        .prompt("Write a short poem about Rust.")
        .build()
        .generate_text()
        .await?;

    println!("Response text: {:?}", response.text());
    Ok(())
}

Provider Settings

You can customize provider configuration using Groq::builder()

API Key

let groq = Groq::<MetaLlamaLlama318bInstructV10>::builder()
    .api_key("your-api-key")
    .build()?;

If not specified, AISDK uses the GROQ_API_KEY environment variable.

Base URL

Useful when routing through a proxy, gateway, or self-hosted compatible endpoint.

let groq = Groq::<MetaLlamaLlama318bInstructV10>::builder()
    .base_url("https://api.groq.com/openai/")
    .build()?;

Provider Name

For logging, analytics, and observability.

let groq = Groq::<MetaLlamaLlama318bInstructV10>::builder()
    .provider_name("Groq")
    .build()?;

Full Custom Configuration Example

let groq = Groq::<MetaLlamaLlama318bInstructV10>::builder()
    .api_key("your-api-key")
    .base_url("https://api.groq.com/openai/")
    .provider_name("Groq")
    .build()?;

Dynamic Model Selection

For runtime model selection (e.g., loading models from config files), use DynamicModel:

Using model_name() Method with Default Settings

use aisdk::providers::Groq;

// Specify model as a string at runtime
let groq = Groq::model_name("llama-3.1-8b-instruct");

Using Builder Pattern with Custom Settings

use aisdk::{
    core::DynamicModel,
    providers::Groq,
};

let groq = Groq::<DynamicModel>::builder()
    .model_name("llama-3.1-8b-instruct")
    .api_key("your-api-key")
		.base_url("https://api.groq.com/openai/")
    .build()?;

Warning: When using DynamicModel, model capabilities are not validated at compile time. This means there's no guarantee the model supports requested features (e.g., tool calls, structured output). For compile-time safety, use the typed methods like Groq::llama_3_1_8b_instruct().
