At Discourse AI Features | Discourse - Civilized Discussion, at the section at the bottom called ‘AI providers’, it mentions ‘Groq’ as a provider.
However, other pieces of documentation state that ‘Grok’ is supported. I assume this is a mistake? Groq seems to do hardware stuff [1], meanwhile, xAI’s Grok models are AI models that can be used for these (Discourse AI) kind of things.
although, it seems to have some AI integration with other AI providers, I think? ↩︎
This is correct.
Groq is a provider of ultra fast (try it, it’s amazing) AI inference services. They have bespoke hardware but it’s basically LLMsaaS.
I gave an example a while back here: Discourse Chatbot 🤖 - #1085 by merefield
It’s nothing directly to do with Grok. Grok on the other hand is a name for a family of models, not a provider. The name clash is annoying though! 
Ultimately the web page seems correct to me.
Hmm… I see.
Groq is mentioned here:
While Grok is mentioned here:
I thought that because Grok was mentioned under Supported LLMs so it would be an inaccuracy. Perhaps not then

Groq is a SaaS platform, and Grok is a model (from as you pointed out xAI … who also have a platform … )
Got it. I re-read this bit:
and understood. Thanks for clarifying!
Do checkout Groq, the speed of response is insane.
Just confirming groq is deliberate
We name some of the providers we support, we mention Anthropic not Claude and mention Sambanova not llama 3
