Create a Groq API key in the Groq console. Treat the key as a secret: use the OpenClaw credential mechanism or environment configuration, not a prompt, screenshot, repository, or shell history.<\/p>\n<p>Review the current <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.openclaw.ai\/providers\/groq\">OpenClaw Groq provider documentation<\/a> before copying a model name. Providers retire and add models.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Install_the_provider\"><\/span>Install the provider<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Run:<\/p>\n<p><code>openclaw plugins install @openclaw\/groq-provider<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Then check plugin health:<\/p>\n<p><code>openclaw plugins doctor<\/code><\/p>\n<p>If OpenClaw runs as a gateway service, restart the gateway after changing provider plugins. Do not repeatedly install the package when the actual problem is a missing key or disabled plugin.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Configure_the_credential\"><\/span>Configure the credential<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Set <code>GROQ_API_KEY<\/code> in the environment used by the OpenClaw gateway, then restart that process. A key set in an interactive terminal will not automatically exist in a Windows service, systemd unit, Docker container, or scheduled task.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid printing environment variables during troubleshooting. Verify presence with a boolean check, not by echoing the value.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Select_and_verify_a_model\"><\/span>Select and verify a model<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The current provider guide recommends checking the live catalog rather than relying on an old tutorial. Use:<\/p>\n<p><code>openclaw models list --all --provider groq<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Then set the chosen provider\/model identifier through your OpenClaw model configuration. Confirm status:<\/p>\n<p><code>openclaw models status --plain<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Run one small task that does not contain confidential data. Record the model identifier, latency, tool behavior, token usage, and terminal receipt. If you plan to use tools, test the actual tool schema; a text-only response is not enough.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_failures\"><\/span>Common failures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cProvider not found\u201d usually means the plugin is absent, disabled, or incompatible with the OpenClaw version. \u201cUnauthorized\u201d usually means the gateway process cannot see the key, the key is wrong, or the account lacks access. \u201cModel not found\u201d often means a copied model was retired or renamed.<\/p>\n<p>Rate limits and capacity errors need bounded retry with backoff. Do not blindly replay an agent run that may already have performed an external action. Check receipts first.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Production_controls\"><\/span>Production controls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Pin known-good provider and OpenClaw versions, maintain a fallback model, and run representative evaluations before changing defaults. Monitor latency, errors, cost, tool-call success, and accepted-output quality. Keep the provider credential scoped to the environment and rotate it on staff or vendor changes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Outcome_and_limitations\"><\/span>Outcome and limitations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The package availability, local OpenClaw version, CLI surface, and missing-key failure boundary were verified. This environment did not contain a Groq key, so the guide does not claim a successful inference receipt. Groq&#x27;s catalog and limits can change; use the live provider documentation and model list.<\/p>\n<p>For a controlled deployment with provider fallbacks and tool evaluations, see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agentixlabs.com\/services\/openclaw-implementation\/\">Agentix OpenClaw implementation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenClaw uses a Groq provider plugin and a GROQ_API_KEY.
