reasoning field for chat completion assistant messages. This is the reasoning output by the assistant if reasoning_format was set to "parsed". This field is only usable with Qwen 3 models.reasoning_effort parameter for Qwen 3 models (currently only qwen/qwen3-32b). Set to "none" to disable reasoning.Qwen 3 32B is the latest generation of large language models in the Qwen series, offering groundbreaking advancements in reasoning, instruction-following, agent capabilities, and multilingual support. The model uniquely supports seamless switching between thinking mode (for complex logical reasoning, math, and coding) and non-thinking mode.

Part of Meta's Purple Llama initiative, these 22M and 86M parameter models identify malicious inputs like prompt injections and jailbreaks. The model provides efficient, real-time protection while reducing latency and compute costs significantly compared to larger models.

Key Changes:
exclude_domains and include_domains parameters when using agentic tooling systems. Use the new search_settings parameter to specify domains to search or ignore.Meta's Llama-Guard-4-12B, a specialized natively multimodal content moderation model, is now available through the Groq API. This 12B parameter model is designed to identify and classify potentially harmful content in both text and images with support for a 128K token context window.
Fine-tuned specifically for content safety, it analyzes both user inputs and AI-generated outputs using categories based on the MLCommons Taxonomy framework, providing detailed classification of unsafe content while maintaining transparency in its decisions. Learn more in our content moderation docs.

exclude_domains allows you to specify domains that should be omitted from web search results.include_domains lets you limit web searches to only return results from specified domains.Example usage to exclude Wikipedia from searches:
curl "https://api.groq.com/openai/v1/chat/completions" \
-X POST \

Key Changes:
include_domains to restrict searches to specific domains, or exclude_domains to omit results from certain domains when using compound-beta or compound-beta-mini models.The Python SDK has been updated to v0.23.0 and the Typescript SDK has been updated to v0.20.0.
Key Changes:
groq.files.content returns a Response object now to allow parsing as text (for jsonl files) or blob for generic file types. Previously, the return type as a JSON object was incorrect, and this caused the SDK to encounter an error instead of returning the file's contents. Example usage in Typescript:const response = await groq.files.content("file_XXXX");
const file_text = await response.text();BatchCreateParams now accepts a string as input to completion_window to allow for durations between 24h and 7d. Using a longer completion window gives your batch job a greater chance of completing successfully without timing out. For larger batch requests, it's recommended to split them up into multiple batch jobs.
