Together AI

Profile Overview

Together AI is a cloud-based artificial intelligence infrastructure company founded in 2022 by Vipul Ved Prakash, Ce Zhang, and Chris Re. Headquartered in San Francisco, Together AI's mission is to provide the fastest, most cost-effective cloud training and inference platform for open-source AI models. The company enables developers and researchers to train, fine-tune, and deploy models at scale using high-performance GPU clusters. Together AI is renowned for its low-latency API, which serves popular open models (such as Llama 3 and Mistral) at speeds that often outperform proprietary cloud platforms, thanks to custom optimization techniques like FlashAttention and sub-system scheduling. The company also contributes heavily to open-source research, releasing high-quality datasets (like RedPajama, a 1.2 trillion token replication of the Llama training set) and training architectures. Together AI allows enterprises to avoid cloud lock-in by providing a high-performance alternative to major cloud providers. In March 2024, Together AI secured $106 million in a Series B funding round led by Salesforce Ventures, bringing its total funding to $228.5 million at a valuation of $1.25 billion. The company continues to expand its GPU capacity to meet the growing global demand for open-source model deployment.
