Together AI
Inference for open models — fast, affordable, with fine-tuning and GPUs.
About
Together AI (2022) is the inference platform for open models: fast serverless endpoints (Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek), dedicated deployments, fine-tuning, and GPU clusters.
Commercial: usage-based (per-token); notably affordable for open models. The open-model cloud — for teams building on Llama/Qwen/DeepSeek without managing GPUs, Together is a top choice. Fine-tuning and LoRA support round out the platform. Valued at $3.3B (2025).

Works with
Trust score — 7/10
Scored 7/10 (metrics tier). The open-model inference leader with affordable pricing, fine-tuning, and a $3.3B valuation. Docked three points: (1) open-models only — no GPT/Claude; (2) closed platform; (3) competition from hyperscalers. For open-model production.
How the trust score is built
