Introducing The Together Enterprise Platform: Run GenAI securely in any environment, with 2x faster inference and continuous model optimization

September 23, 2024

By 

Together AI

Today we’re announcing the Together Enterprise Platform — a comprehensive platform for managing the entire Generative AI lifecycle, enabling businesses to train, fine-tune, and run inference on any model, in any environment, whilst optimizing model performance and GPU utilization. Achieve 2-3x faster inference and up to 50% lower operational costs on your existing cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI) or on-premise infrastructure. This secure, scalable platform enables enterprises to retain complete control over their models and proprietary data, while maximizing GPU investments.

The Together Enterprise Platform includes:

  • Deploy in any environment, with full control: Deploy on Together Cloud, your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), or on-premise. Your data remains within your firewall.
  • Continuous model optimization: Implement advanced optimization techniques like auto fine-tuning and adaptive speculators to continuously improve model performance over time.
  • Access 200+ models or bring your own: Choose from leading model families like Llama and Mixtral, or use your own custom models for inference and fine-tuning. We offer a wide range of model types, including chat, multimodal, embeddings, rerank, and code.
  • Enhanced GPU orchestration: Efficiently manage, scale, and orchestrate GPU resources with job scheduling, auto-scaling, and traffic control.
  • New Enterprise plans: We've added new 'Scale' and 'Enterprise' plans to grow with the needs of any organization. Our Enterprise plan includes unlimited rate limits and dedicated support.

Leading organizations like Salesforce, The Washington Post, Zoom and Zomato have already deployed their GenAI apps in production using the Together Enterprise Platform, and Salesforce has exclusively partnered with us to host their own rerank model using the platform.

"Together AI offers optimized performance at scale, and at a lower cost than closed-source providers – all while maintaining strict privacy standards. As an AI-forward publication, we look forward to expanding our collaboration with Together AI for larger-scale in-house efforts.” 

— Vineet Khosla, CTO for The Washington Post

Enterprises are prioritizing data privacy and model ownership

Organizations are transitioning to AI solutions that offer greater control over their models and data, driven by cost efficiency, privacy, and customization needs. This shift is supported by the significant growth in adoption of models like Llama. The Together Enterprise Platform supports this transition by enabling organizations to use various AI models, or train their own custom models, while maintaining the security, performance, and reliability required for production systems. This flexibility allows companies to tailor AI models and workflows to their specific use cases, while retaining full control over their proprietary data.

We’ve worked with leading organizations to implement this shift, powering different use cases like: 

  • Enhanced customer support: Building sophisticated AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants for 24/7 support and reduced response times.
  • Personalized product recommendations: Creating hyper-personalized recommendations in e-commerce and retail to increase conversion rates and customer satisfaction.
  • Enterprise RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation): Implementing advanced question-answering systems that combine proprietary knowledge bases with large language models.

"Our endeavor is to deliver exceptional customer experience at all times. Together AI has been our long standing partner and with Together Inference Engine 2.0 and Together Turbo models, we have been able to provide high quality, fast, and accurate support that our customers demand at tremendous scale."

— Rinshul Chandra, COO, Food Delivery, Zomato

Faster inference, in any environment

Our proprietary Together Inference Engine, the result of extensive research and development, is the fastest inference engine that can be deployed on any environment. This means enterprises can deploy our engine in their own VPC or on-prem and immediately benefit from 2-3x faster inference, enabling faster product experiences for their customers.

The Together Inference Engine is consistently 2-3x faster than hyperscaler solutions across the Llama 3.1 model family.

Significantly lower GPU costs, on your existing infrastructure

Speed is just one part of the equation. The Together Enterprise Platform also drives significant cost savings, with customers achieving 30-50% reduced operational expenses

These savings stem from:

  • Faster inference speeds, requiring fewer GPUs to handle the same workload
  • Improved orchestration, leading to higher utilization and increased workloads on existing GPU pools

By optimizing GPU hours and maximizing utilization, we help enterprises manage the escalating costs of their GenAI investments, without compromising on quality. The Together Inference Engine delivers 4x higher throughput than open-source engines like vLLM, resulting in better utilization of available GPU resources.

The performance comparison was conducted using 8x H100 SXM 80GB GPUs, averaging results across 1K, 2K, 3K, and 4K input tokens with 100 output tokens. Throughput was measured based on normalized decoding speeds.

Continuous model optimization

Our continuous model optimization capabilities bring cutting-edge AI research to your production deployments. Just as closed-source models like GPT-4 have evolved to become faster and more efficient, while maintaining quality, we’re bringing the same customized improvements to your models, in your environment

We take your base model and apply a range of proprietary optimization techniques, tailored specifically to your use case. This process integrates user traffic data, fine-tuning data, and user feedback to systematically apply multiple layers of optimizations, including custom-trained adaptive speculators (for speculative decoding), fine-tuning, quantization, and model distillation techniques.

Through this optimization process, we identify the best version of your model—one that achieves the optimal balance between speed, quality, and cost-efficiency. This ensures that your GenAI applications not only perform faster and more accurately, but also scale more efficiently.

Better orchestration and scaling

Enterprises aiming to optimize their GPU investments need efficient orchestration and scaling of resources, both for production deployments and experimentation. The Together Enterprise Platform tackles this challenge by providing centralized management of GenAI processes across the organization. It enhances GPU orchestration through traffic control, smart scheduling (such as running fine-tuning during low production periods), auto-scaling, and detailed usage analytics. By integrating into CI/CD pipelines with programmatic APIs for common operations, the platform streamlines AI development and deployment. This approach maximizes GPU returns and enables efficient management of GenOps at scale.

Q: Should I use the RedPajama-V2 Dataset out of the box?

RedPajama-V2 is conceptualized as a pool of data that serves as a foundation for creating high quality datasets. The dataset is thus not intended to be used out of the box and, depending on the application, data should be filtered out using the quality signals that accompany the data. With this dataset, we take the view that the optimal filtering of data is dependent on the intended use. Our goal is to provide all the signals and tooling that enables this.
