How this service works

Locus public pay-per-use API

Output

Returns a JSON response containing the Groq API output (e.g. chat completion text, token counts, transcription text, or audio data), a payment object confirming the settled USDC amount and authorized max, a request ID with a status URL for async tracking, and a success flag.

Example use cases

Real-time reasoning with DeepSeek R1

“Use Groq to run a DeepSeek R1 reasoning query — I need it to solve this math word problem step by step: 'A train leaves Chicago at 60 mph and another leaves New York at 80 mph, starting 800 miles apart. When do they meet?'”

Transcribe meeting audio with Whisper

“Transcribe this audio recording of my team standup using Groq's Whisper model — I need fast, accurate transcription so I can turn it into meeting notes.”

Generate spoken product description with PlayAI TTS

“Use Groq's PlayAI TTS to convert this product description into spoken audio: 'The AeroSleep pillow combines memory foam with cooling gel for an unmatched night's rest.' I need the audio output for my e-commerce product page.”

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need ultra-low-latency LLM inference (Groq is industry-leading for speed), want to pay per-call in USDC via x402 without a subscription, need an OpenAI-compatible API surface, or require access to open-weight models like Llama 3.3, DeepSeek R1, Gemma 2, or Qwen alongside audio capabilities (Whisper STT, PlayAI TTS) in a single gateway. Prefer over standard Groq API when operating in a crypto-native or agent-payment context.

Side effects

Insufficient USDC balance or payment failure — 402 Payment Required with payment details
Invalid or unsupported model name — 400 Bad Request or Groq API error forwarded
Malformed request body or missing required fields — 422 Unprocessable Entity
Groq upstream rate limit or outage — 502/503 from the proxy
Audio file format not supported by Whisper — error from underlying Groq endpoint
Request timeout for very long inference tasks
