About this plugin
This plugin by Zactonz Technologies adds Groq as an AI provider for the WordPress AI Client. It is built for the WordPress Settings > Connectors screen and for the plugin directory connector search, so a site owner who needs Groq can find it, install it, paste a key, and have every AI feature in WordPress start using it.
Groq runs open models on its own LPU hardware and is built around one thing: speed. This connector makes GroqCloud a first-class WordPress AI provider, discovering every model on your account together with its context window, and keeping the request timeout short because Groq rarely needs a long one.
Disclaimer: this connector is developed by Zactonz Technologies and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Groq. Groq and GroqCloud are trademarks of Groq, Inc.

- Text generation with every Groq chat model your credentials can reach

External services
This plugin sends requests to Groq, a third-party service, and does nothing without it. com/openai/v1, or to the API base URL you set in the connector settings.
What is sent and when: the API key you configure, and the prompts, images, tool definitions and generation settings that a WordPress AI feature passes to the AI Client, each time such a feature runs a request through this connector. The connector also requests the model catalogue when its settings screen loads, when a WordPress AI feature asks which models are available, and when you run diagnostics or the Site Health test. No other data is sent.
