PromptingTools.jl supports Groq

PromptingTools.jl, one of my favorite Julia packages for generative AI workflows, now supports groq! For those who do not know, groq is incredibly fast. Of the cloud providers for LLM generation, groq is by far the fastest.

You'll need PromptingTools.jl version 0.22. The release notes are here.

Here's a little demo of how to use this. To start, you'll need a groq API key, which you can find on the website (this link might work?).

Put your key in the environment variable GROQ_API_KEY. If you haven't done this at the system level, you can do it inside Julia like so:

ENV["GROQ_API_KEY"] = "your_key_here"

Great. Now we can use PromptingTools:

using PromptingTools
using PromptingTools: GroqOpenAISchema


# Create the schema
schema = GroqOpenAISchema()
some_julia_code = aigenerate(
    schema,
    """
    Give me some Julia code to calculate the n-th Fibonacci number.
    """,
    model="gllama370"
)

# Show the result
println(some_julia_code.content)

which yielded (for me) the response


Here is an example of Julia code to calculate the n-th Fibonacci number:

function fibonacci(n::Int)
    if n == 1
        return 0
    elseif n == 2
        return 1
    else
        a, b = 0, 1
        for i in 3:n
            a, b = b, a + b
        end
        return b
    end
end

This function uses a simple iterative approach to calculate the n-th Fibonacci number. It takes an integer n as input and returns the corresponding Fibonacci number.

Here's an explanation of how the code works:

  • The function takes an integer n as input and returns the n-th Fibonacci number.

  • The first two Fibonacci numbers are 0 and 1, so we handle these cases explicitly.

  • For n > 2, we use a loop to calculate the n-th Fibonacci number. We initialize two variables a and b to 0 and 1, respectively, which correspond to the first two Fibonacci numbers.

  • In each iteration of the loop, we update a and b by swapping their values and adding the previous value of a to b. This is equivalent to calculating the next Fibonacci number as the sum of the previous two.

  • After n-2 iterations, b will contain the n-th Fibonacci number, which we return as the result.

You can test this function with a specific value of n, for example:

julia> fibonacci(10)
55

This isn't quite right. Calling this function with fibonacci(10) yields 34, not 55. This seems to be due to llama3 shifting the function up by one – fibonacci(0) should be 0, but here fibonacci(1) is 0.

But it's close enough for a prompt!

You can also use string macros to make this a bit more concise:

# Instead, you can also do string macros. You can do this by preceding
# the string with `ai` and following it with the model you want to use.
# In this case, we want to use groq's Llama3 70b (gllama370) model.
ai"Give me some Julia code to calculate the n-th Fibonacci number."gllama370

This is in case you're working from the REPL and don't want to type out the aigenerate function call.

You can use providers that are not groq as well. All providers available in PromptingTools.jl are available here, but the list is quite long. Providers include

  • OpenAI

  • vLLM

  • Ollama

  • Mistral

  • Databricks

  • Fireworks AI

  • Together AI

  • Anthropic

  • Google Gemini

Lastly, if you want to use other model aliases (like gllama370), you can check them out inside PromptingTools.MODEL_ALIASES:

julia> PromptingTools.MODEL_ALIASES

Dict{String, String} with 38 entries:
  "local"         => "local-server"
  "gpt4v"         => "gpt-4-vision-preview"
  "gpt3"          => "gpt-3.5-turbo"
  "gpt4"          => "gpt-4"

  ⋮               => ⋮

Anyways – thanks to Jan for more incredible work!
