Groq low-latency routing

Use Groq with the models you approve

Run TEKIZ.AI on your machine or private server with your Groq key. Your apps use one address while the router chooses Groq or another approved model. Hosted access uses a separate TEKIZ.AI key and the models available to your account.

Use your own Groq key

Put your authorized GROQ_API_KEY on a router you control. GroqCloud controls access to its models; TEKIZ.AI routes requests you authorize.

OpenAI-compatible setup

For the hosted API, point OpenAI-compatible apps at https://api.tekiz.ai/v1. Hosted requests use routes available to your account. To use your own Groq credentials, configure them on a local router.

Use Llama for quick tasks

Send chat, extraction, and short tool tasks to your Groq-hosted Llama or Mixtral models, with stronger or local models available when needed.

Send a test request

This tests your hosted TEKIZ.AI key with automatic routing. To use Groq with your own credentials, set up a local router and configure the credentials on that router.

export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.tekiz.ai/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk_tekiz_your_generated_key

curl "$OPENAI_BASE_URL/chat/completions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "tekizai/auto",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "List three ways to reduce API latency."}]
  }'

Use more than one Groq key

Add multiple authorized Groq keys. TEKIZ.AI shares requests across keys that are working and pauses only the key that fails.

When Groq rate-limits

If Groq rate-limits a request, TEKIZ.AI can try another configured key, provider, or eligible local model.

Send files to services that accept them

Images, audio, video, and documents are sent only to models that can handle that kind of input.

Use accounts you are allowed to use

Your own Groq account and Groq billing stay separate from hosted TEKIZ.AI access. On a router you control, TEKIZ.AI can try another eligible model when you configure one.

Next steps

Create an API key, copy the hosted quickstart, use the coding-agent setup, or estimate routing fit.

Stay within your approved services

If your company approves only GroqCloud, keep that boundary. TEKIZ.AI can reduce token burn by choosing eligible models. Your Groq account handles provider billing.
