OpenClaw hosting with Groq

Run a managed OpenClaw agent on Groq models with your own API key — one-click deploy, Docker isolation, and no inference markup, from $24/mo.

Ultra-low-latency inference on open models via Groq’s LPU hardware.

Why Groq for your OpenClaw agent

Groq is built for speed — it serves open-weight models at very high tokens-per-second, so responses feel near-instant. Ideal when latency matters more than running the largest frontier model.

Use Groq for a snappy OpenClaw chat agent where fast replies on Telegram or Discord matter most. Representative models: Hosted open-weight models (Llama-class and others).

Deploy in 3 steps

  1. Create a Groq API key in the Groq dashboard.
  2. Sign up for VibeOpenClaw and paste the key on the API Keys page (encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM).
  3. Click New AgentOpenClaw → choose a Groq model → connect a channel → Create. Live in ~30 seconds.

BYOK means you pay Groq directly — we never mark up inference. Want a different provider? See all OpenClaw hosting options, or read what BYOK actually buys you.

Frequently asked questions

Can I run OpenClaw on Groq models?+

Yes. VibeOpenClaw supports Groq as one of 13 BYOK providers. Add your Groq API key on the API Keys page, create an OpenClaw agent, and select a Groq model — your agent is live in about 30 seconds.

Where do I get a Groq API key?+

Create one in the Groq dashboard (https://console.groq.com/keys), then paste it into VibeOpenClaw’s API Keys page. It’s encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and only decrypted in-process to make model calls.

Does VibeOpenClaw mark up Groq usage?+

No. It’s true BYOK — you pay Groq directly for inference and we never proxy or mark up your usage. Your hosting fee ($24/mo Pro, $48/mo Premium) is separate from your model spend.

Can I switch models or providers later?+

Yes. You can change the model on an agent, or add keys for other providers, at any time — your agent isn’t locked to Groq.

Which plan do I need?+

Any plan works with Groq. Pro ($24/mo) runs 1 OpenClaw agent; Premium ($48/mo) runs up to 3 OpenClaw or Hermes agents and adds Slack.
