Faster information processing not only informs - it transforms how we perceive and innovate.

Spring AI, a powerful framework for integrating AI capabilities into Spring applications, now offers support for Groq - a blazingly fast AI inference engine with support for Tool/Function calling.

Leveraging Groq's OpenAI-compatible API, Spring AI seamlessly integrates by adapting its existing OpenAI Chat client. This approach enables developers to harness Groq's high-performance models through the familiar Spring AI API.

We'll explore how to configure and use the Spring AI OpenAI chat client to connect with Groq. For detailed information, consult the Spring AI Groq documentation and related tests…
