Inference provider

Use Groq through Relays.

Configure Groq in Relays with the maintained OpenAI-compatible preset for Chat Completions and Responses routes.

One alias in front of Groq.

Your application calls a Relays alias. Relays holds the Groq credential, applies the route policy, and hands back the provider response in the shape your SDK expects.

  1. CallerYour application

    Keeps the OpenAI-compatible request it already sends.

  2. EdgeRelays

    Holds the key, picks the candidate, writes the receipt.

  3. UpstreamGroq

    Receives the call on its own base URL.

Groq OpenAI compatibility documentation

Relays’ Groq preset declares Chat Completions and Responses support, so native Responses payloads can remain on that edge when the selected model supports them.

What is measured, and what is not.

Availability comes from Groq. Latency, error rate, and cost per successful request come from your own traffic, so Relays leaves them empty until requests run.

Upstream status

Groq
Not published to Relays
Groq does not publish a status feed Relays can read, so no availability is reported here.

Relays measurements

Your traffic
No sample yet
Time to first token, error rate, and cost per successful request are read from requests that ran through Relays. This route has none, so there is nothing to plot.

Models at the edge.

Model IDs sit behind a Relays alias, so a catalogue change at Groq never reaches your code.

Catalogue not connected
Relays has not published a Groq model list on this page. Route candidates are still set by model ID in your route configuration.

Every route carries a policy.

A route is a list of candidates, a budget, and a record of what happened. You set all three before any traffic runs.

Fallback

Candidates stay inside the contract.

Groq can be ordered with other configured candidates that support the requested Chat Completions or Responses endpoint and declared capabilities.

Budget

A ceiling on this route.

Set an alert threshold and a stop threshold for the route rather than for the whole application. Relays checks both before the call goes upstream.

Receipt

Each attempt is written down.

Every call records the alias, the candidates tried, the status each returned, tokens in and out, and the estimated cost of the attempt that served it.

Read a route receipt

One endpoint is enough to start.

Keep the client you already wrote. Bring us the workload and we will map the first Groq route with you.
