In short
Together AI: An AI cloud with per-token serverless inference for open models, dedicated inference endpoints, GPU clusters, fine-tuning and code sandboxes.
Klio Compute: serverless GPUs for Python. Run a function on a GPU with one decorator, deploy endpoints, task queues, schedules and sandboxes, or put an open model behind an OpenAI-compatible API, and pay per second from prepaid credit.
Where Together AI is the better choice
- Serverless inference for many open models, priced per token, with an OpenAI-compatible API across chat, images, speech and embeddings.
- GPU clusters with preemptible, on-demand and reserved prices, including B200 and B300.
- Fine-tuning of open models.
Where Klio Compute differs
- Klio Compute runs your own Python on a GPU with one decorator, and bills it per second.
- Prices for L4, L40S and A100 GPUs as well as H100s, and a container can have 1, 2, 4 or 8 of them.
- Modal code runs with one changed import line, and
klio migrate --checkreports what works before you change anything. - $5 of free credit to start; Together AI asks for a $15 first purchase.
Features
| Feature | Klio Compute | Together AI |
|---|---|---|
| Serverless GPU functions or containers | Yes. Functions, endpoints, task queues and schedules on a GPU from one decorator. (docs) | Partly. Dedicated endpoints run your choice of model on single-tenant GPUs. (source) |
| Scale to zero | Yes. Endpoints and models stop when idle and start on the next request. (docs) | Not verified. Deployments scale with replicas and can be stopped. |
| Billing per second or finer | Yes. Metered per second. (docs) | No. Dedicated inference bills per minute. (source) |
| Several GPUs in one container | Yes. 1, 2, 4 or 8 GPUs of one type; more than one needs a paid workspace. (docs) | Not verified. |
| Sandboxes | Yes. Create, run commands and code, read and write files. (docs) | Yes. Code Sandbox and Code Interpreter. (source) |
| Volumes | Yes. Named volumes mounted into any container. (docs) | Partly. A shared filesystem colocated with GPU clusters. (source) |
| OpenAI-compatible model serving | Yes. klio model deploy, for the models klio model list shows. (docs) | Yes. (source) |
| Runs Modal code with an import change | Yes. import klio_compute.compat as modal; a few features are refused with a clear message. (docs) | No. Its own API. (source) |
| Prepaid credit | Yes. Top up, set a monthly purchase limit; work stops at zero. (docs) | Yes. Fully prepaid; $15 minimum first purchase. (source) |
