Groq

Jan supports Groq (opens in a new tab) API integration, allowing you to use Groq's high-performance LLM models (LLaMA 2, Mixtral and more) through Jan's interface.

Integrate Groq API with Jan

Step 1: Get Your API Key

  1. Visit Groq Console (opens in a new tab) and sign in
  2. Create & copy a new API key or copy your existing one

Ensure your API key has sufficient credits

  2. Once the selector is poped up, choose the Cloud tab
  3. Click Add () icon next to Groq

Step 3: Start Using Groq's Models

  1. In any existing Threads or create a new one
  2. Select a Groq model from model selector
  3. Start chatting

Available Models Through Groq

Jan automatically includes Groq's available models. In case you want to use a specific Groq model that you cannot find in Jan, follow instructions in Manual Setup to add custom models:

  • See list of available models in Groq Documentation (opens in a new tab).
  • The id property must match the model name in the list. For example, if you want to use Llama3.3 70B, you must set the id property to llama-3.3-70b-versatile.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

1. API Key Issues

  • Verify your API key is correct and not expired
  • Check if you have billing set up on your Groq account
  • Ensure you have access to the model you're trying to use

2. Connection Problems

  • Check your internet connection
  • Verify Groq's system status
  • Look for error messages in Jan's logs

3. Model Unavailable

  • Confirm your API key has access to the model
  • Check if you're using the correct model ID
  • Verify your Groq account has the necessary permissions
