Together AI
Fastest inference for open-source models. 200+ models via unified API. Ranks #1 on speed benchmarks for DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, and Llama. Serverless pay-per-token pricing.
Together AI is the AI-native cloud that provides access to 200+ models for text, image, video, code, and audio via a unified API with serverless pay-per-token pricing. They consistently rank #1 in output speed among GPU-based providers across independent benchmarks from Artificial Analysis, achieving up to 2x faster inference through GPU optimization, advanced speculative decoding, and FP4 quantization on NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. Their ATLAS system learns from production traffic to further accelerate inference. Async batch processing handles up to 30 billion tokens at 50% reduced cost. For developers building on open-source models like DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, or Llama who need the fastest possible inference without running their own GPUs, Together AI is the performance leader.
