What this offer includes
Groq Free Tier consists of model-specific request and token limits rather than a fixed dollar credit. RPM, RPD, TPM and TPD can differ between models.
How to use it
Register in Groq Console, create an API key and check the target model on the official Rate Limits page. Exhausting a free allowance triggers rate limiting; adding a payment method is required to upgrade to Developer Tier.
Limits and billing
Limits can change as models are added or removed. The published example for gpt-oss-120b is 30 RPM, 1,000 RPD, 8,000 TPM and 200,000 TPD; it must not be applied to every model. Mainland China network or account availability is not guaranteed.
