The honest brief

SambaNova Cloud

One of the few clouds serving Llama 405B in native 16-bit precision at 100+ tokens/sec, not a quantized copy.

  • Serves Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen, gpt-oss
  • Hundreds of tokens/sec on RDU chips
  • OpenAI-compatible API
  • Free tier to start
  • Open-weight catalog only
  • No fine-tuning/custom hosting like GPU clouds
  • Smaller model selection than rivals

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
