Use model IDs as
groq/<model-id> (example: groq/llama-3.3-70b-versatile).
Troubleshooting
Rate limit errors Groq imposes per-minute and per-day request limits by tier. If you hit rate limits:- Switch to a smaller model (for example
groq/llama-3.1-8b-instant) for lower-rate tasks. - Add multiple API keys as auth profiles for rotation:
openclaw models auth add-key --provider groq. - Check your current usage at console.groq.com.
- Verify your key starts with
gsk_and is copied in full. - Re-run onboarding:
openclaw onboard --auth-choice apiKey --token-provider groq --token "$GROQ_API_KEY".
- Confirm
GROQ_API_KEYis set in the environment where the gateway runs. - Check
openclaw models statusto see if thegroqprovider is detected.
