## What the story says

Groq's engineers use Factory's Droid CLI, a model-agnostic coding agent, paired with Groq's own inference. They use it for codebase questions, file discovery, small config changes, debugging instrumentation, and CI and test coverage work, often running several agents in parallel.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Factory and Groq, not ours.

> With Droid + Groq inference, tasks that take 10–15 minutes in slower loops can land in under a minute. Engineers can iterate interactively, guiding and refining results in real time.

- **5x**: “5x FASTER QUICK-TURN TASKS\*”

> Droid is an exceptional CLI. It's very fast, intuitive, and it works with all of the models I frequently use. Pair Droid with fast inference from Groq and it genuinely unlocks new use cases for AI coding agents within my development cycle.
