Together AI
Together AI operates its own GPU cloud and managed Kubernetes clusters as an AI-native infrastructure layer, while also integrating with external cloud storage and streaming services for data and analytics workloads.[2][11][12] The production stack is centered on open-weight models deployed as containerized workloads on Together-managed GPU clusters, exposed via serverless inference APIs and voice/agent pipelines.[3][4][9][11][16]

FAQ
Does Together AI use a foundational AI model?
Together AI uses Meta Llama (e.g., Llama 3 family), Mistral (e.g., Mixtral / Mistral Instruct variants), Qwen (Alibaba open-weight family), GLM (e.g., GLM 5.2) (Native (own / self-hosted weights)).
What cloud does Together AI run on?
Together AI runs on Hybrid.
What database does Together AI use?
Together AI uses Amazon S3 (Iceberg tables)[2], Apache Iceberg[2], MotherDuck (DuckDB-based analytics serving layer)[2], Kinesis[2], Kafka[2].
How close does Together AI run to the foundational model?
Together AI is Native (own / self-hosted weights) — close to the metal, so cheaper tokens and more control over outputs.
