Groq runs very fast AI inference: developers use GroqCloud's API to call open models at high speed. This page reads Groq's official status for its API and website and checks groq.com and the API every minute. Groq's status page also lists each hosted model, which you can open from the link below.

Not working for you? Try this

1. Only one model failing?Groq's status page lists every hosted model separately. If one model fails while others work, open the official page to see whether that model has an issue, and switch models for now.
2. 429: slow downA 429 means you've hit a rate limit for your account or the model. Space out requests and retry with a growing delay. Limits are lower on free plans.
3. 401: check your keyA 401 means the API key is missing, wrong or revoked. Create a new key in the GroqCloud console if needed.
4. Model name not foundGroq adds and retires models over time. If a request says the model doesn't exist, check the current model list and update the name in your code.
5. Using the OpenAI-compatible endpointGroq offers an OpenAI-compatible API. If you switched from OpenAI, make sure the base URL points to Groq and the API key is your Groq key.

Questions about Groq outages

Is Groq the same as Grok?

No. Groq (with a q) runs fast AI inference for developers. Grok (with a k) is xAI's assistant, which has its own page on this site.

Why do I get 429 errors from Groq?

You've hit a rate limit. Free plans have lower limits; space out requests, retry with backoff, or move to a paid plan for higher limits.

Where is Groq's official status page?

At groqstatus.com. It lists the API, the website and every hosted model; we show the API and website on this page.
