Groq Backend

Groq provides extremely fast inference. Uses the same multi-frame batch strategy as OpenAI.

Setup

1. Get an API key at console.groq.com
2. Run eyeroll init and select Groq, or set it directly:

export GROQ_API_KEY=your-key-here
export EYEROLL_BACKEND=groq

Capabilities

Feature	Supported
Direct video upload	No
Multi-frame batch	Yes (all frames in one API call)

Text generation	Yes
Preflight health check	Yes

Model

Override with the --model flag:

eyeroll watch video.mp4 --backend groq -m llama-3.2-90b-vision-preview

How it works

Groq uses the OpenAI-compatible API format. eyeroll sends all extracted frames as base64-encoded images in a single API call, with timestamps per frame. No audio transcription is available.

Cost

Groq offers competitive pricing with very low latency. Check groq.com for current rates.

Install

pip install eyeroll[openai]

Uses the openai SDK with a custom base URL.
