# Groq

> OpenHands uses LiteLLM to make calls to chat models on Groq. You can find their documentation on using Groq as a provider [here](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers/groq).

## Configuration

When running OpenHands, you'll need to set the following in the OpenHands UI through the Settings under the `LLM` tab:

* `LLM Provider` to `Groq`
* `LLM Model` to the model you will be using. [Visit here to see the list of
  models that Groq hosts](https://console.groq.com/docs/models). If the model is not in the list,
  enable `Advanced` options, and enter it in `Custom Model` (e.g. groq/\<model-name> like `groq/llama3-70b-8192`).
* `API key` to your Groq API key. To find or create your Groq API Key, [see here](https://console.groq.com/keys).

## Using Groq as an OpenAI-Compatible Endpoint

The Groq endpoint for chat completion is [mostly OpenAI-compatible](https://console.groq.com/docs/openai). Therefore, you can access Groq models as you
would access any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. In the OpenHands UI through the Settings under the `LLM` tab:

1. Enable `Advanced` options
2. Set the following:
   * `Custom Model` to the prefix `openai/` + the model you will be using (e.g. `openai/llama3-70b-8192`)
   * `Base URL` to `https://api.groq.com/openai/v1`
   * `API Key` to your Groq API key
