Groq cloud users Beta service users Designated model users

Groq published supplemental Service-Specific Terms effective November 13, 2025, which establish additional requirements for beta services and introduce a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) framework for processing customer inputs and outputs. The new terms specify that these supplemental terms control over the main Services Agreement when there is a conflict, and identify specific designated models (such as Kimi K2 0905) subject to DPA obligations. Customers using these designated beta models must now comply with the DPA terms for data processing.
