Inference Speed
Overview
You're about to build something that matters - AI agents that solve genuine problems in the real world, powered by Groq API for blazing-fast inference and enhanced with Model Context Protocol (MCP) for seamless tool integration.
This isn't about creating another chatbot. It's about orchestrating intelligent agent workflows that can perceive, reason, and act across multiple modalities in real-time.
Think about what you or others struggle with that could be solved with AI. Your agents will have the speed and capabilities to make it happen with Groq.
