GetYourHire AI uses the Groq API to run large language models. When you submit a document, the text is sent to Groq's API servers in the USA for AI processing. Groq's current policy states that API data is not used to train their models by default. We recommend reviewing their policy directly, as it may change independently of this page.
| Model | Developed By | Accessed Via |
|---|---|---|
| Llama 3.3 70B Versatile | Meta AI | Groq API |
| Llama 3.1 8B Instant | Meta AI | Groq API |
| Llama 3 8B | Meta AI | Groq API |
| Gemma 2 9B | Google DeepMind | Groq API |
| Llama 3.3 70B SpecDec | Meta AI | Groq API |
Models are selected automatically based on availability. A fallback system ensures continuity when one model reaches its daily usage limit. Your data is processed by whichever model is available — all via Groq's infrastructure.
GetYourHire AI does not use any user-submitted content to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any AI model. This is an inference-only service.
