Together AI
Vipul Ved Prakash, Co-Founder and CEO
In this era of large language models, it’s increasingly clear that industries, companies, and teams will want to be able to train their own, proprietary models to know and do exactly what they need. Think of all the rarefied knowledge required for AI to be useful in a healthcare or legal context. Given the amount of specific and confidential data out there, it’s unlikely that generic, off-the-shelf models are going to fit most enterprise needs.
That’s where Together comes in. They provide a platform that enables enterprises of all shapes and sizes to pre-train their own proprietary models tailored to their workflows, fine-tune open source solutions, then host and run inference on them. Today, they are one of the front runners in the race for how AI will enter and empower businesses worldwide.
By giving customers much more control over their models, Together offers a more affordable and safer path for verticalized AI. The company provides enterprises access to GPUs, a library of open source models and datasets, and proprietary algorithms to pre-train their models (all the most vital building blocks to make development easier).
We’re thrilled to be partnering with the team of veteran entrepreneurs and high-caliber academics going after this vision. Together emerged from Stanford’s AI Lab, backed by deep research into foundational models. It’s amazing to see this powerhouse focused on the enterprise, making AI solutions more transparent, flexible and cost-effective than ever before.
