A good fit for

  • Developers wanting API access to open source and open-weight models without self-hosting them
  • Teams needing GPU infrastructure for training or fine-tuning custom models
  • Cost-sensitive projects that can take advantage of cached-token discounts and off-peak or batch pricing
  • Applications needing dedicated, SLA-backed inference capacity rather than shared serverless endpoints

Not a good fit for

  • Teams wanting a single proprietary flagship model rather than a broad catalog of hosted open models
  • Very small projects that don't need dedicated GPU capacity or fine-tuning infrastructure
  • Users wanting fully predictable flat pricing rather than usage-based, model-dependent rates

Together AI pricing

Serverless chat model inference ranges from $0.09 to $3.00 per million input tokens depending on the model, with output tokens typically costing 3 to 5 times more than input tokens; cached tokens get up to 90% discounts. Dedicated GPU instances range from $3.99 to $9.99 per GPU per hour on demand, with preemptible GPU cluster compute starting at $1.99 an hour and reserved options for 181+ days. Provisioned throughput starts around $21,600 a month for baseline capacity. Fine-tuning costs range from $0.34 to $40 per million tokens depending on model size and training type.

About Together AI

Together AI runs and hosts a wide range of open source and open-weight AI models, giving developers API access to models they'd otherwise have to self-host, alongside infrastructure for training and fine-tuning their own models.

Its offerings span serverless inference (pay-per-token API access), provisioned throughput with SLA guarantees, dedicated inference on reserved GPU hardware, and raw GPU cluster rental for teams that want to run their own training or inference workloads directly.

Pricing reflects this range of services: serverless chat model inference is priced per million tokens and varies by model, while GPU cluster and dedicated inference pricing is billed by the hour or through longer-term reservations.
