Check Groq status programmatically
# Check if Groq is operational before running inference groq_status=$(curl -s https://prismix.dev/api/v1/statuses | jq -r '.services[] | select(.id=="groq") | .indicator') if [ "$groq_status" != "none" ]; then echo "Groq is $groq_status — consider a fallback model" fi
# Python
import httpx
status = {s["id"]: s for s in httpx.get("https://prismix.dev/api/v1/statuses").json()["services"]}
if status["groq"]["indicator"] != "none":
raise RuntimeError(f"Groq degraded: {status['groq']['description']}") Groq API not working? Common causes
- Rate limit (429) — Groq's free tier has low RPM limits. Check your tier at console.groq.com and implement exponential backoff.
- Model not available — some Groq models are in preview and have limited availability. Switch to a stable model like
llama-3.3-70b-versatileormixtral-8x7b-32768. - Context length exceeded — Groq models have varying context windows. Trim your prompt or switch to a model with a larger context window.
- Invalid API key — regenerate at console.groq.com/keys. Keys start with
gsk_. - Regional quota — Groq's LPU hardware is in specific data centers; during peak times specific regions may throttle harder.
