title: Groq
description: "Configure Groq as an LLM provider in Mem0 for high-speed inference using LPU-powered language models."
---

[Groq](https://groq.com/) is the creator of the world's first Language Processing Unit (LPU), providing exceptional speed performance for AI workloads running on their LPU Inference Engine.

In order to use LLMs from Groq, go to their [platform](https://console.groq.com/keys) and get the API key. Set the API key as `GROQ_API_KEY` environment variable to use the model as given below in the example.

## Usage

<CodeGroup>
```python Python
import os
from mem0 import Memory

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your-api-key" # used for embedding model
os.environ["GROQ_API_KEY"] = "your-api-key"

config = {
    "llm": {
        "provider": "groq",
        "config": {
            "model": "llama-3.3-70b-versatile",
            "temperature": 0.1,
            "max_tokens": 2000,
        }
    }
}

m = Memory.from_config(config)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "I'm planning to watch a movie tonight. Any recommendations?"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "How about thriller movies? They can be quite engaging."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "I’m not a big fan of thriller movies but I love sci-fi movies."},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Got it! I'll avoid thriller recommendations and suggest sci-fi movies in the future."}
]
m.add(messages, user_id="alice", metadata={"category": "movies"})
```

```typescript TypeScript
import { Memory } from 'mem0ai/oss';

const config = {
  llm: {
    provider: 'groq',
    config: {
      apiKey: process.env.GROQ_API_KEY || '',
      model: 'llama3-70b-8192',
      temperature: 0.1,
      maxTokens: 1000,
    },
  },
};

const memory = new Memory(config);
const messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "I'm planning to watch a movie tonight. Any recommendations?"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "How about thriller movies? They can be quite engaging."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "I’m not a big fan of thriller movies but I love sci-fi movies."},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Got it! I'll avoid thriller recommendations and suggest sci-fi movies in the future."}
]
await memory.add(messages, { userId: "alice", metadata: { category: "movies" } });
