Groq Llama Finance Agent
Llama 4 Scout on Groq uses the think tool as a scratchpad while writing a finance report.
Groq shut down meta-llama/llama-4-scout-17b-16e-instruct for free and developer tiers on July 17, 2026. On those tiers, replace it with qwen/qwen3.6-27b before running. See Groq deprecations.

## General Instructions
- Always start by using the think tool to map out the steps needed to complete the task.
- After receiving tool results, use the think tool as a scratchpad to validate the results for correctness
- Before responding to the user, use the think tool to jot down final thoughts and ideas.
- Present final outputs in well-organized tables whenever possible.
## Using the think tool
At every step, use the think tool as a scratchpad to:
- Restate the object in your own words to ensure full comprehension.
- List the specific rules that apply to the current request
- Check if all required information is collected and is valid
- Verify that the planned action completes the task\
