What you get

Free access to fast inference on open models (Llama and others) via an OpenAI-compatible API. Per-model requests-per-minute, requests-per-day and tokens-per-minute limits apply on the free tier; upgrading to the paid Developer tier raises limits by up to 10x.

How to claim it

  1. Create a free account at console.groq.com
  2. Generate an API key under Keys
  3. Call the Groq API on the free tier (no card required)

Good to know

Exact per-model free-tier rate limits are shown in the GroqCloud console (console.groq.com/settings/limits) and not published as a fixed table, so we do not list specific numbers. A credit card is only needed to upgrade to the paid Developer tier.
