# Klio Compute vs Together AI

> Klio Compute and Together AI side by side: where each is the better choice, features, and GPU prices per hour from Together AI's own pricing page.

Canonical page: https://klio.tech/compare/klio-vs-together-ai

## 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 --check` reports what works before you change anything.
- $5 of free credit to start; Together AI asks for a $15 first purchase.

## Features

Table: Features: Klio Compute and Together AI

| Feature | Klio Compute | Together AI |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Serverless GPU functions or containers | Yes. Functions, endpoints, task queues and schedules on a GPU from one decorator. ([docs](https://klio.tech/docs/gpus.md)) | Partly. Dedicated endpoints run your choice of model on single-tenant GPUs. ([source](https://docs.together.ai/docs/dedicated-endpoints/overview)) |
| Scale to zero | Yes. Endpoints and models stop when idle and start on the next request. ([docs](https://klio.tech/docs/endpoints.md)) | Not verified. Deployments scale with replicas and can be stopped. |
| Billing per second or finer | Yes. Metered per second. ([docs](https://klio.tech/docs/pricing.md)) | No. Dedicated inference bills per minute. ([source](https://docs.together.ai/docs/dedicated-endpoints/overview)) |
| Several GPUs in one container | Yes. 1, 2, 4 or 8 GPUs of one type; more than one needs a paid workspace. ([docs](https://klio.tech/docs/gpus.md)) | Not verified. |
| Sandboxes | Yes. Create, run commands and code, read and write files. ([docs](https://klio.tech/docs/sandboxes.md)) | Yes. Code Sandbox and Code Interpreter. ([source](https://www.together.ai/pricing)) |
| Volumes | Yes. Named volumes mounted into any container. ([docs](https://klio.tech/docs/volumes.md)) | Partly. A shared filesystem colocated with GPU clusters. ([source](https://www.together.ai/pricing)) |
| OpenAI-compatible model serving | Yes. `klio model deploy`, for the models `klio model list` shows. ([docs](https://klio.tech/docs/models.md)) | Yes. ([source](https://docs.together.ai/docs/inference/openai-compatibility)) |
| Runs Modal code with an import change | Yes. `import klio_compute.compat as modal`; a few features are refused with a clear message. ([docs](https://klio.tech/docs/migrate-from-modal.md)) | No. Its own API. ([source](https://docs.together.ai/docs/dedicated-endpoints/overview)) |
| Prepaid credit | Yes. Top up, set a monthly purchase limit; work stops at zero. ([docs](https://klio.tech/docs/pricing.md)) | Yes. Fully prepaid; $15 minimum first purchase. ([source](https://docs.together.ai/docs/billing-credits)) |

## GPU prices per hour
