Together.ai Needs a 4x Accelerator to Keep Up - NexaAPI Was Already Fast & Cheap Together.ai just announced ATLAS - the AdapTive-LeArning Speculator System. It's genuinely impressive engineering: a runtime-learning speculative decoding system that dynamically adapts to your workload, reaching up to 500 tokens/second on DeepSeek-V3.1 and 460 TPS on Kimi-K2. But here's the thing developers should notice: Together.ai needed to build an entire adaptive ML system just to make their inference competitive. That's a lot of complexity to absorb.
