Groq Desktop Beta: A Game-Changer for MCP Support

Groq has just released Groq Desktop in beta mode (https://github.com/groq/groq-desktop-beta), and I’ve had the chance to try it out. What caught my attention was its impressive MCP support, which seems to outshine Claude Desktop. Here are three reasons why:

  1. YOLO Mode: Groq Desktop allows you to accept tool execution without asking questions, making the process smoother.
  2. On-the-fly Server Reload: Unlike Claude, where you need to restart the app to reload MCP servers, Groq Desktop lets you do it seamlessly.
  3. Hot Enable/Disable MCP Servers: You can enable or disable MCP servers on the fly, without needing to reload Groq Desktop.

These features make Groq Desktop a strong contender in the MCP support arena. Have you tried it out? What are your thoughts?

TIL: instalar soporte llama-3-3-70b en llm

llm es una utilidad imprescindible en tu arsenal de comandos. Permite acceder desde la terminal a cualquier LLM, integrándose como un comando Unix más.

groq es una empresa que ofrece acceso a llama3 a través de su API, ejecutándose en sus veloces LPUs, de forma gratuita. Uno de los modelos más potentes que ofrece es llama-3-3-70b

Para poder usar llama3.3-70b desde el comando llm a través de groq, es necesario instalar el plugin llm-groq, por el momento a través del HEAD en su repo GitHub

$ llm install https://github.com/simonw/llm-groq/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

No te olvides de poner llama3.3 como modelo por defecto:

$ llm models default groq-llama-3.3-70b
