## FAQ

### Is Groq down right now?

Check the status indicator at the top of this page. It pulls directly from Groq's official status page. If Groq is experiencing any issues, you'll see it reflected here. This real-time monitoring helps teams quickly identify whether performance problems are caused by Groq infrastructure or their own systems.

### What does this Groq status page track?

This page tracks GroqCloud API, LPU inference, and Open model serving using data from Groq's official status page. You can see current component health, active incidents, and a history of past issues. This visibility is crucial for teams building resilient AI applications that need to route around provider outages.

### How often is Groq status updated here?

We check Groq's status page every 60 seconds to ensure you get near real-time status updates. How quickly issues show up here depends on how fast Groq updates their own official status. For production systems that need instant failover, Bifrost can automatically detect and route around degraded providers.

### Why monitor Groq status?

Groq is often chosen for speed-sensitive applications, so status changes can immediately impact latency-sensitive user experiences and throughput targets. Real-time status monitoring enables proactive incident response and helps teams decide when to route traffic to alternative providers for maximum uptime.

### What should I do when Groq goes down?

When Groq experiences an outage, the best practice is automatic failover to alternative AI providers. Bifrost is an open-source AI gateway that automatically detects Groq degradation and routes LLM traffic to healthy alternatives like Together AI, Fireworks AI, OpenAI, keeping your application running with zero manual intervention. This intelligent routing ensures your users never experience downtime from a single provider's issues.

### How can I prevent Groq downtime from affecting my application?

Production AI applications should never depend on a single provider. Bifrost AI Gateway provides automatic multi-provider failover, intelligent load balancing, and health-based routing. When Groq degrades, Bifrost instantly routes requests to operational alternatives while maintaining API compatibility. This architecture approach is used by teams running mission-critical AI features.

### What are common causes of Groq outages and degraded performance?

Common causes of Groq issues include infrastructure scaling challenges, regional cloud provider problems, API gateway overload, and deployment errors. Monitor this page to stay informed, and consider implementing automatic failover with Bifrost to maintain uptime during Groq incidents.
