Groq Implementation

[Pascal1132]

It would be highly beneficial to support Groq's API as a provider. I attempted to use https://api.groq.com/openai/v1 as an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, but function_tools are not working properly and are not fully supported (sometimes, I got timeout, or loops and / or json text)

GroqCloud offers impressive speed and supports multimodal models, making it a compelling option to integrate. Adding support for Groq's API would allow users to take advantage of its performance benefits.

Issue Triage Analysis

Thank you for submitting this feature request to add Groq API support to MyCoder. I've analyzed your request and have the following assessment:

Request Summary

• You'd like to add support for Groq's API as a provider in MyCoder
• You attempted to use the OpenAI-compatible endpoint at https://api.groq.com/openai/v1
• You experienced issues with function_tools (timeouts, loops, or JSON formatting problems)
• You note Groq's impressive speed and multimodal model support as compelling reasons for integration

Technical Assessment

Based on my analysis of the MyCoder codebase:

1. Feasibility: This integration is technically feasible

   • MyCoder already supports multiple providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, and XAI
   • Groq provides an OpenAI-compatible API that could be leveraged

2. Implementation Approach:

   • Add a new provider entry in packages/agent/src/core/llm/provider.ts
   • Likely extend or reuse the OpenAI provider implementation (similar to how XAI is implemented)
   • Add specific handling for Groq's function calling implementation differences

3. Potential Challenges:

   • Function tools support appears to be problematic with Groq's API
   • Special handling may be required to ensure proper function calling behavior

Recommendation

This feature request is approved for implementation. Adding Groq support would enhance MyCoder's capabilities by providing:

• Faster response times for users
• Additional multimodal model options
• More provider choices for users

Next Steps

• Add Groq provider to the provider registry
• Implement proper function calling support for Groq
• Add documentation for Groq provider usage
• Add tests for the Groq provider implementation

I'll apply the appropriate labels to this issue. If you have any additional information about the specific function_tools issues you encountered, please share them to help with the implementation.
