Do you want to experiment with Groq models on Weave without any setup? Try the LLM Playground.
Groq is an AI infrastructure company that delivers fast AI inference. The LPU Inference Engine by Groq is a hardware and software platform built for compute speed, quality, and energy efficiency. Weave automatically tracks and logs Groq chat completion calls. This page explains how to use Weave to trace Groq chat completion calls, wrap your own functions as Weave ops, and organize your experiments using Model objects.

Tracing

It’s important to store traces of language model applications in a central location, both during development and in production. These traces can help you debug your application and serve as a dataset to improve it. Weave automatically captures traces for Groq. To start tracking, call weave.init(project_name="<your-wandb-project-name>") and use the library as normal. Replace values enclosed in <> with your own.
import os
import weave
from groq import Groq

weave.init(project_name="groq-project")

client = Groq(
    api_key=os.environ.get("GROQ_API_KEY"),
)
chat_completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Explain the importance of fast language models",
        }
    ],
    model="llama3-8b-8192",
)

Weave now tracks and logs all LLM calls made through the Groq library. You can view the traces in the Weave web interface.

Track your own ops

Wrap a function with @weave.op to capture inputs, outputs, and app logic so you can debug how data flows through your app. You can deeply nest ops and build a tree of functions that you want to track. This also automatically versions code as you experiment to capture ad-hoc details that haven’t been committed to git. Create a function decorated with @weave.op. In the following example, the recommend_places_to_visit function is wrapped with @weave.op and recommends places to visit in a city.
import os
import weave
from groq import Groq


weave.init(project_name="groq-test")

client = Groq(
    api_key=os.environ.get("GROQ_API_KEY"),
)

@weave.op()
def recommend_places_to_visit(city: str, model: str="llama3-8b-8192"):
    chat_completion = client.chat.completions.create(
        messages=[
            {
                "role": "system",
                "content": "You are a helpful assistant meant to suggest places to visit in a city",
            },
            {
                "role": "user",
                "content": city,
            }
        ],
        model="llama3-8b-8192",
    )
    return chat_completion.choices[0].message.content


recommend_places_to_visit("New York")
recommend_places_to_visit("Paris")
recommend_places_to_visit("Kolkata")

Decorate the recommend_places_to_visit function with @weave.op to trace its inputs, outputs, and all internal LM calls made inside the function.

Create a Model for easier experimentation

Organizing experimentation is difficult when there are many moving pieces. By using the Model class, you can capture and organize the experimental details of your app like your system prompt or the model you’re using. This helps organize and compare different iterations of your app. In addition to versioning code and capturing inputs and outputs, Models capture structured parameters that control your application’s behavior, helping you find what parameters worked best. You can also use Weave Models with serve, and Evaluations. In the following example, you can experiment with GroqCityVisitRecommender. Every time you change one of these, you get a new version of GroqCityVisitRecommender.
import os
from groq import Groq
import weave


class GroqCityVisitRecommender(weave.Model):
    model: str
    groq_client: Groq

    @weave.op()
    def predict(self, city: str) -> str:
        system_message = {
            "role": "system",
            "content": """
You are a helpful assistant meant to suggest places to visit in a city
""",
        }
        user_message = {"role": "user", "content": city}
        chat_completion = self.groq_client.chat.completions.create(
            messages=[system_message, user_message],
            model=self.model,
        )
        return chat_completion.choices[0].message.content


weave.init(project_name="groq-test")
city_recommender = GroqCityVisitRecommender(
    model="llama3-8b-8192", groq_client=Groq(api_key=os.environ.get("GROQ_API_KEY"))
)
print(city_recommender.predict("New York"))
print(city_recommender.predict("San Francisco"))
print(city_recommender.predict("Los Angeles"))

Serve a Weave Model

After you have a versioned Model, you can deploy it as a service for testing or downstream applications. Given a Weave reference to any weave.Model object, you can spin up a FastAPI server and serve it.

You can find the Weave reference of any weave.Model by navigating to the model and copying it from the UI.
Serve your model with the following command in the terminal:
weave serve weave://your_entity/project-name/YourModel:<hash>
