Recent outages and issues we recorded for Groq, based on our own checks. An episode opens on the second check that finds a problem, since a single adverse reading is not reported, and closes when a check finds the service normal again.

What Groq reported

Taken from Groq's own published incident feed. These are their words about their own service, shown here so you can compare them with what we measured. Scheduled maintenance and test posts are filtered out.

How we check Groq
No evidence of problems with Groq. Our last recorded check found it behaving normally. That does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.
Every check runs a four-tier cascade and stops at the first tier that gives a clear answer: Groq's official status feed, then a direct HTTP probe, then an ICMP network ping, and finally reports from visitors. The Verification tier box above tells you which one produced the verdict you are looking at. When enough separate people report a problem for it to be well outside what Groq normally sees, that counts as evidence too, which is how a partial fault can show here before an operator's own status page catches up.
Groq (groq.com) is re-checked continuously, and this page picks up any change on its own, with no refresh needed.
Common Groq problems users report
- API requests return 5xx errors or timeout without completing
- Inference requests are rejected with rate limit errors despite normal usage
- Model endpoints return empty responses or malformed JSON
- Latency spikes cause inference requests to exceed application timeouts
What to do when Groq is not working
First check the banner above. If it shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Groq's side and waiting is usually the only option. If it shows nothing wrong, verify your API key is current and has not hit monthly quota limits, check that you are targeting the correct model name and region endpoint, and test with the Groq console to confirm the API is accepting requests from your account.
About Groq
Groq provides fast inference for large language models through its LPU (Language Processing Unit) hardware and cloud API. When Groq is down, applications relying on its API for real-time LLM inference cannot generate responses, and batch processing jobs fail to complete.

Frequently asked questions
Is Groq down right now?
No. Our checks are finding no problems with Groq right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Groq continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.
What usually goes wrong with Groq?
The problems visitors report most often on this page are API errors, no response / timing out, can't connect, rate limited, 5xx error pages, high latency and website / app down. Those are the options the report button offers for Groq, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.
Why is Groq not responding for me when this page says it is fine?
Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Groq specifically, Groq's inference clusters can experience regional degradation, request routing failures, or model serving issues that affect specific API endpoints or model versions independently of the core platform. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.
How do I tell whether it is Groq or my own connection?
For Groq, curl the Groq API health endpoint or attempt a simple inference request with a test prompt to a known-working model, checking the response code and latency. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.
What should I do while Groq is down?
If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Groq's side. Specifically: avoid retrying inference requests in tight loops, as queued requests consume quota and may fail anyway; instead, implement exponential backoff and alert your users that AI features are temporarily unavailable. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.
How does status.buzz check Groq?
Continuously, around the clock. Groq does not publish a machine-readable status feed, so we cannot read a verdict from them. We probe groq.com directly over HTTP, fall back to an ICMP ping if that is inconclusive, and weigh reports from visitors. That means we can tell you the service is unreachable, but not what Groq says about it. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.
Does Groq have an official status page?
Yes, at status.groq.com, and it is linked further up this page. That is Groq's own account of their service and it is the place to look for their estimate of a fix. We read it where we can, but we publish our own observations beside it rather than only repeating theirs, because an operator's status page can lag a problem their users are already hitting.
Is status.buzz affiliated with Groq?
No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Groq or groq.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Groq's own support, not us.
