| How many islands are in the Aleutian island chain? |
The Aleutian Islands are a chain of approximately 300 small volcanic
islands, stretching about 1,200 miles (1,900 km) westward from the
Alaska Peninsula. However, not all of these islands are named or
inhabited. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there are around 14
main islands in the Aleutian Islands chain, along with many smaller
islets and rocks. Some of the main islands include: 1. Unimak Island 2.
Unalaska Island 3. Umnak Island 4. Adak Island 5. Atka Island 6. Amlia
Island 7. Tanaga Island 8. Kanaga Island 9. Adugak Island (also known as
Adugak Island or "Four Mountains Islands") 10. Great Sitkin Island 11.
Semisopochnoi Island 12. Kiska Island 13. Little Sitkin Island 14. Attu
Island Keep in mind that some sources may group the islands differently,
and there may be variations in the number of islands depending on the
definition of a "main island" versus a smaller islet or rock. |

Pixeltable’s Groq integration enables you to access Groq models via the
Groq API.
### Prerequisites
* A Groq account with an API key
([https://console.groq.com/docs/quickstart](https://console.groq.com/docs/quickstart))
### Important notes
* Groq usage may incur costs based on your Groq plan.
* Be mindful of sensitive data and consider security measures when
integrating with external services.
First you’ll need to install required libraries and enter your OpenAI
API key.
```python theme={null}
%pip install -qU pixeltable groq
```
```python theme={null}
import getpass
import os
if 'GROQ_API_KEY' not in os.environ:
os.environ['GROQ_API_KEY'] = getpass.getpass(
'Enter your Groq API key:'
)
```
Now let’s create a Pixeltable directory to hold the tables for our demo.
```python theme={null}
import pixeltable as pxt
# Remove the 'groq_demo' directory and its contents, if it exists
pxt.drop_dir('groq_demo', force=True)
pxt.create_dir('groq_demo')
```
Connected to Pixeltable database at: postgresql+psycopg://postgres:@/pixeltable?host=/Users/asiegel/.pixeltable/pgdata
Created directory 'groq\_demo'.
\
## Chat Completions
Create a Table: In Pixeltable, create a table with columns to represent
your input data and the columns where you want to store the results from
Groq.
```python theme={null}
from pixeltable.functions import groq
# Create a table in Pixeltable and add a computed column that calls OpenAI
t = pxt.create_table('groq_demo/chat', {'input': pxt.String})
messages = [{'role': 'user', 'content': t.input}]
t.add_computed_column(
output=groq.chat_completions(
messages=messages,
model='llama-3.3-70b-versatile',
model_kwargs={
# Optional dict with parameters for the Groq API
'max_tokens': 300,
'top_p': 0.9,
'temperature': 0.7,
},
)
)
```
Created table 'chat'.
Added 0 column values with 0 errors in 0.01 s
No rows affected.
```python theme={null}
# Parse the response into a new column
t.add_computed_column(response=t.output.choices[0].message.content)
```
Added 0 column values with 0 errors in 0.01 s
No rows affected.
```python theme={null}
# Start a conversation
t.insert(
[{'input': 'How many islands are in the Aleutian island chain?'}]
)
t.select(t.input, t.response).head()
```
Inserted 1 row with 0 errors in 1.16 s (0.86 rows/s)
