# Using Groq With Roo Code

Groq specializes in providing very high-speed inference for large language models, utilizing their custom-built Language Processing Units (LPUs). This can result in significantly faster response times for supported models.

## Getting an API Key

To use Groq with Roo Code, you'll need an API key from the [GroqCloud Console](https://console.groq.com/). After signing up or logging in, navigate to the API Keys section of your dashboard to create and copy your key.

## Supported Models

Roo Code will attempt to fetch the list of available models from the Groq API. Common models available via Groq include:

*   `llama3-8b-8192`
*   `llama3-70b-8192`
*   `mixtral-8x7b-32768`
