📝 FAQ UPDATE

Course: llm-zoomcamp

Question

Groq vs OpenAI: starter.py crashes for missing OPENAI_API_KEY, and Groq 404 / responses.create errors / tool-calling failures

Decision Rationale

The proposal contains concrete fixes for multiple Groq/OpenAI API mismatches and a token-limit retry misconception. Similar issues already exist, but these specific explanations (including the starter.py demo-block crash) are not fully covered together and should be merged into the closest existing Module 1 RAG FAQ entry.

Placement Details

• Section ID: module-1-agentic-rag
• Sort Order: 4
• Document ID: 0224d980b3

⚠️ Warnings

• Merges multiple subtopics from the proposal (missing OpenAI key on import, Groq model 404, Responses API incompatibility, and token-limit retry misconception) into the closest existing Module 1 Agentic RAG FAQ. If maintainers prefer to split these into separate FAQs, the content can be refactored later.
