Together AI
Together AI is a San Francisco-based AI acceleration cloud that lets developers and enterprises train, fine-tune, and run open-source generative AI models on a high-performance GPU platform. Backed by $533M+ from General Catalyst, NVIDIA, Salesforce Ventures and others, it has become one of the most prominent challengers to the closed-model status quo.
