Groq uses Tavily for built-in web search in its Compound systems, retrieving current information with source citations. TechCrunch reports that Tavily supplies Groq with tools enabling agents to search, crawl and extract structured insights from public and private sources.
In April 2025, Jacob Loewenstein announced that Groq had partnered with Tavily and E2B to create its first Compound model, then available in preview. The announcement identified Compound Beta and Compound Beta Mini and described automatic server-side tool use for real-time search and code execution. Loewenstein also said Groq was open-sourcing an evaluation. In a comment on the announcement, he described its benchmarks as “Better than Sonar and way better than GPT-4o”.
Groq also publishes a separate Tavily MCP tutorial for developers connecting their own accounts.
