Groq Skill Pack

24 Claude Code skills for Groq's ultra-fast LPU inference API -- real SDK code, real model IDs, real speed benchmarks.

What This Covers

Groq provides the fastest LLM inference available through custom LPU (Language Processing Unit) hardware. This skill pack covers the groq-sdk npm package, the OpenAI-compatible REST API at api.groq.com/openai/v1/, and all current model families: Llama 3.x text, Llama 4 vision, Whisper audio, and text-to-speech.

Key model IDs used throughout:

• llama-3.1-8b-instant -- fastest, cheapest (~560 tok/s, $0.05/M tokens)
• llama-3.3-70b-versatile -- best quality (~280 tok/s, $0.59/M tokens)
• llama-3.3-70b-specdec -- speculative decoding variant
• meta-llama/llama-4-scout-17b-16e-instruct -- multimodal vision
• whisper-large-v3-turbo -- audio transcription at 216x real-time
