Factory Droid + Groq

Factory Droid is Factory.ai's autonomous engineering agent. Pair it with Groq's LPU inference to get low-latency code generation while keeping your Groq API key on-device via Bring Your Own Key (BYOK).

Prerequisites

Groq account with an API key from console.groq.com/keys
Factory CLI (droid) installed locally — follow Factory's Quickstart Guide to install and authenticate

Setup

Configure Groq Provider

Add Groq models to your Factory configuration:

Edit your Factory config file and add your Groq model definitions:

macOS/Linux: ~/.factory/config.json
Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.factory\config.json

  "custom_models": [
    {
      "model_display_name": "Kimi K2 [Groq]",
      "model": "moonshotai/kimi-k2-instruct-0905",
      "base_url": "https://api.groq.com/openai/v1",
      "api_key": "YOUR_GROQ_KEY",
      "provider": "generic-chat-completion-api",
      "max_tokens": 16384
    },
    {
      "model_display_name": "GPT-OSS 120b [Groq]",
      "model": "openai/gpt-oss-120b",
      "base_url": "https://api.groq.com/openai/v1",
      "api_key": "YOUR_GROQ_KEY",
      "provider": "generic-chat-completion-api",
      "max_tokens": 65536
    }
  ]
}

Replace YOUR_GROQ_KEY with your API key from console.groq.com/keys.

Start Coding
Inside the CLI run /model and choose the Groq model you added under Custom models. You can now use Factory Droid with Groq's low-latency inference.
