WORKS FOR

Developing APIs for faster, cheaper iteration on jobs, High-throughput inference as an alternative to model labs, Serving as the primary fast provider in a multi-LLM router

KEY INSIGHT

It's a top choice for raw speed and cost but has a limited model selection compared to other providers.

DOESN'T WORK FOR

When you need a wide variety of model options, When evaluating speed where reported performance metrics are inconsistent

WORKED

The LLM layer (Groq free tier) generates a specific 30-day retention playbook per at-risk customer

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: LLM layer for generating customer-specific retention playbooks

WORKED

A multi-provider router that uses Groq Cerebras for speed and falls back to DeepSeek Together if latency spikes.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Used as the primary, fast LLM provider in a multi-provider router for AI tasks.

MIXED

You ll see Groq averaging 1,086tps What I don t understand is, Groq reporting 200tps for the same model.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Evaluating LLM inference speed for a specific model

MIXED

Compared to 0-2 [failures] for the official API, groq, SiliconFlow, and Infinigence.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: LLM inference for tool calls

WORKED

You'll see Groq averaging 1,086tps vs Together doing 59tps. Groq and Cerebras often feel like the only games in town.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Comparing inference speed (TPS) for running models like Kimi-K2.

WORKED

They often tend to be faster, cheaper and or more reliable than what the lab that trained the model is charging.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: High throughput inference as an alternative provider for running models.

MIXED

Groq is fast but only has a few models.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Building something with AI, likely for inference/API calls

WORKED

When you use Cerebras (or Groq) to develop an API, the turn around speed of iterating on jobs is so much faster (and cheaper!) then using frontier high intelligence labs, it s almost a different product.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Developing an API, for faster and cheaper iteration on jobs compared to frontier models.

WORKED

Specifically names Groq in their list of AI integration technologies, showing hands-on experience with the tool.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Used as an alternative or complement to OpenAI for AI integrations.
