The honest brief

CoreWeave

Operates at a scale smaller GPU clouds can't match — first to stand up new NVIDIA generations, with nine of the ten top AI model providers as customers.

  • Frontier-scale GPU capacity
  • First to new NVIDIA generations
  • Managed Kubernetes + observability
  • Contracted by top AI labs
  • Enterprise-oriented; no free tier
  • Less self-serve than smaller GPU clouds
  • Heavy debt-financed expansion

Together AI

One stop for the open-model stack: hundreds of open-weights models served plus both LoRA and full fine-tuning.

  • LoRA and full fine-tuning
  • Competitive inference-at-scale pricing
  • OpenAI-compatible API
  • Dedicated endpoints + GPU clusters
  • Open models only, no frontier closed models
  • Less specialized than single-model hosts
  • Throughput varies by model demand
