Groq Hello World

Overview

Build a minimal chat completion with Groq's LPU inference API. Groq uses an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so the API shape is familiar -- but responses arrive 10-50x faster than GPU-based providers. This skill gets you from an installed SDK to a working, verified request; deeper variants (streaming, Python, model selection) live in references/.

Prerequisites

• groq-sdk installed (npm install groq-sdk)
• GROQ_API_KEY environment variable set
• Completed groq-install-auth setup

Instructions

Use Write to create the example file, then run it to confirm your key and SDK work. Start with the single basic request below; reach for the reference variants only once this succeeds.

Step 1: Basic Chat Completion (TypeScript)

import Groq from "groq-sdk";

const groq = new Groq();

async function main() {
  const completion = await groq.chat.completions.create({
    model: "llama-3.3-70b-versatile",
    messages: [
      { role: "system", content: "You are a helpful assistant." },
      { role: "user", content: "What is Groq's LPU and why is it fast?" },
    ],
  });

  console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);
  .();
}

().(.);
