About Together AI

Together AI is a cloud inference platform focused on open-source large language models, offering fast and cost-competitive API access to Llama 3, Mixtral, Mistral, Code Llama, and dozens of other models. For developers building LLM-powered applications who want the control of open-source models without managing GPU infrastructure, Together AI's inference API provides the performance and reliability of a commercial API at a significantly lower cost than OpenAI or Anthropic - often 10-20x cheaper per token for equivalent capability models. The platform supports both serverless and dedicated endpoints. Serverless is appropriate for development and moderate production traffic; dedicated endpoints provide reserved compute for latency-sensitive production applications. Together AI is particularly valued in the developer community for its low latency on Llama 3 70B and Mixtral 8x7B - competitive with much larger proprietary models for coding and instruction-following tasks at a fraction of the price. The platform also supports fine-tuning: organisations can upload proprietary datasets to fine-tune base models on Together AI's infrastructure and deploy the result as a private API endpoint. For AI engineering teams who prioritise cost efficiency and model control over the convenience of frontier proprietary models, Together AI is the standard alternative to the OpenAI API.
