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
