What Is Together AI? Together AI is an AI inference platform that hosts hundreds of open-source models behind one OpenAI-compatible API. Founded in 2022 and backed by NVIDIA, Salesforce Ventures, and Kleiner Perkins, the company built its reputation around two things developers actually care about: fast hosted inference for state-of-the-art open models (Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen, Mixtral) and a genuinely free tier that exposes a small but useful set of those models with no credit card required.
