Show HN: Blazing-Fast CLI AI with Near-Instant Response (Powered by Groq) (github.com)

A developer has released an ultra-lightweight CLI tool — "Blazing-Fast CLI AI" — that connects your terminal to low-latency model inference powered by Groq. You can install or update it with a one‑liner (curl | bash) and then run ai "your question" to get near‑instant answers (example: ai "How to exit vim?"). The repo includes a downloadable binary (add it to PATH) and uninstall script; the tool requires a Groq API key to authenticate. This matters because Groq’s inference hardware and API are optimized for very low latency, so integrating LLM-style assistance directly into shell workflows becomes practical: instant help, quick code/completion checks, and scripted automation without waiting on slower cloud endpoints. Technically it’s a thin client that forwards prompts to Groq’s service, so performance gains depend on Groq’s models and infra rather than local compute. Important considerations: you’ll need a Groq account (and possible costs), and piping install scripts has security risks — audit the repo before running. For terminal-first developers, this is a simple, fast way to add real-time AI assistance to CLI workflows while relying on Groq’s accelerated inference stack.
