## Available Models Through Groq [#available-models-through-groq]

Jan automatically includes Groq's available models. In case you want to use a specific Groq model that
you cannot find in **Jan**, follow the instructions in the [Add Cloud Models](/desktop/manage-models#cloud-models):
- See list of available models in [Groq Documentation](https://console.groq.com/docs/models).
- The `id` property must match the model name in the list. For example, if you want to use Llama3.3 70B, you must set the `id` property to `llama-3.3-70b-versatile`.

## Troubleshooting [#troubleshooting]

Common issues and solutions:

**1. API Key Issues**
- Verify your API key is correct and not expired
- Check if you have billing set up on your Groq account
- Ensure you have access to the model you're trying to use

**2. Connection Problems**
- Check your internet connection
- Verify Groq's system status
- Look for error messages in [Jan's logs](/desktop/troubleshooting#how-to-get-error-logs)

**3. Model Unavailable**
- Confirm your API key has access to the model
- Check if you're using the correct model ID
- Verify your Groq account has the necessary permissions
