Patch Changes

• #470 d7eae54 Thanks @omeraplak! - feat: deprecate @voltagent/groq-ai in favor of @ai-sdk/groq

  This package is now deprecated. Please migrate to using @ai-sdk/groq with @voltagent/vercel-ai instead.

  Why We're Deprecating

  As the VoltAgent team, we've made the strategic decision to deprecate our native provider implementations because:

  • Maintenance Burden: Groq regularly adds new models and updates their API - maintaining our own implementation requires constant updates that don't provide unique value to VoltAgent users
  • No Added Value: Our implementation would essentially mirror what Vercel AI SDK already provides excellently - there's no benefit in maintaining duplicate code
  • Resource Allocation: The time spent maintaining provider integrations is better invested in VoltAgent's core strengths: agent systems, tool orchestration, and workflow management
  • Ecosystem Benefits: Using Vercel AI SDK gives users access to 30+ providers with a consistent interface, rather than just the few we could realistically maintain

  Migration Guide

  Step 1: Install New Packages

  npm uninstall @voltagent/groq-ai
  npm install @voltagent/vercel-ai @ai-sdk/groq@1

  Step 2: Update Your Code

  Before (deprecated):

  import { GroqProvider } from "@voltagent/groq-ai";
  import { Agent } from "@voltagent/core";
  
  const agent = new Agent({
    name: "my-agent",
    llm: new GroqProvider({
      apiKey: process.env.GROQ_API_KEY,
    }),
    model: "mixtral-8x7b-32768",
  });

  After (recommended):

  import { VercelAIProvider } from "@voltagent/vercel-ai";
  import { groq } from "@ai-sdk/groq";
  import { Agent } from "@voltagent/core";
  
  const agent = new Agent({
    name: "my-agent",
    llm: new VercelAIProvider(),
    model: groq("mixtral-8x7b-32768"),
  });

  Step 3: Environment Variables

  The environment variable remains the same:

  • GROQ_API_KEY - Your Groq API key
