Trying Llama3 on Groq with Vercel AI
Blog post from Upstash
A developer explores the capabilities of Groq and Vercel AI by creating a basic AI chat application using the Llama3-70b model from Meta, hosted on Groq, to evaluate its performance. Groq, known for its speed due to its LPU architecture, is compared to traditional GPU-based systems, while Vercel AI simplifies the process for JavaScript and TypeScript developers to build AI applications with essential components like chat. The developer finds Groq's performance impressive, noting the speed difference compared to OpenAI's GPT-4, but acknowledges that Llama3 is inherently fast across other inference engines as well. Despite limited experience in frontend and LLM development, the tools enabled quick application creation, highlighting the ease of use and helpful features of the Vercel AI SDK, particularly its streaming support and ready-to-use components. Although impressed by Groq and Llama3, the developer plans further research to fully assess Groq's performance.
