Why Groq?
edit: I'm dumb. Thought Groq was the Elon thing.
- NitpickLawyer 2y agoFast (suited for agents) and generous free tier (14k req/day for 70B models) would be my guess.

- makk 2y agoAren’t they a reference to Heinlein? Seems “grok” is on point for what it does.
- mtrofficus 2y agoThat's from Groq documentation: "In fact, our name comes from the word “grok” which means the ability “to understand profoundly and intuitively.”"
- mtrofficus 2y agohahahha wow, that's hard: "pseudointellectual names". I mean, didn't reflect about the naming. Just the fact that it offered a lot of LLMs for free xD
- mtrofficus 2y agoI'm using Groq, not Grok xD
- mtrofficus 2y agoThey offer a lot of top LLMs for free. That's the reason why. I mean, I'm using llama3.1 fine tuned for tools completely free. That's the reasoning behind haha But you could choose any other. At first I was thinking about Ollama, but Groq came as a great choice.
- throwaway314155 2y agoNot going to lie, I definitely confused Groq for Grok here.
- CaptainFever 2y agoYep, Groq™ even called out Grok for this: https://groq.com/hey-elon-its-time-to-cease-de-grok/ https://groq.com/hey-elon-its-time-to-cease-de-grok/
